Movie Info

The Wetlands nightclub in New York City didn't just introduce audiences to countless jam bands. It also promoted important environmental causes. Located in Manhattan's Tribeca district, Wetlands was the brainchild of Larry Bloch, who wanted to create a socially conscious music venue. While the Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Blues Traveler and others graced its stage, the club donated large sums of its proceeds to environmental causes. Wetlands was a unique social experiment; this is its story.

    Time Out

  • If you never twirled barefoot in the funky old club, Wetlands Preserved may be of limited interest, but it's a loving and thorough document of a small slice of rock history.

    Rafer Guzman

    Newsday

  • With its carefully-chosen soundtrack, funky animation, and enthusiastic interviews, Dean Budnick's affectionate documentary pays apt tribute to Wetlands, a local landmark that closed in 2001.

    Elizabeth Weitzman

    New York Daily News

  • Wetlands Preserved is a fond account of the rising, thriving and eventual closing of the TriBeCa club known as the Wetlands Preserve.

    Jeannette Catsoulis

    New York Times

  • Dean Budnick's nostalgic doc never wants for feeling or a sense of purpose as it examines not simply how this niche in the New York nightlife came to pass, but what it represented and how its presence has since affected the world.

    Rob Humanick

    Slant Magazine

  • Entertainingly builds a convincing case for the club's significance as a NYC outlet for the politically-conscious interplay of Americana rock, folk, and hip-hop.
