The rolling American River and Sierra Nevada foothill canyons around it provided once again the backdrop for the Just Exactly Perfect Festival, on the last weekend in September near Placerville, Calif. The intimate micro-fest drew notable jammy bands to the Nugget Campground from the San Francisco Bay Area, Southern California, and the foothills. Turn your head one way and you might see and hear Fragile Thunder deliver “Morning Dew,” and turn your head the other way and you can visualize the gold panners who, along this river and at this spot first struck gold about 170 years ago. Grateful Web attended the festivities on Sunday, which was Day 3 of the fest.
