Following Blackdog is a Very Special Super Group, consisting of eight one-of-a-kind musicians from different bands and performing acts: Dave Watts and Scott Messersmith on drums and percussion, Kyle Hollingsworth on keys, Jennifer Hartswick on trumpet and vocals, Robert Mercurio on bass, Adam Smirnoff (Schmeeans) on guitar, Dominic Lalli on saxophone, and Joan Osborne on vocals. Concluding the first day of the NedFest Family Reunion is a performance by Fruition at 10 p.m.
