“30 years of the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival,” exclaimed Festival Director and Founder Steve Gumble. “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with an outstanding lineup. There’s no one blending modern music styles with the blues tradition quite like Gary Clark Jr. and we are thrilled to have him back in a top slot. While Ben Harper made his debut at Telluride Blues & Brews Festival in 2018 with Charlie Musselwhite, we have been eager to host him with his legendary band, The Innocent Criminals, for decades now. I can’t go without mentioning how much we are anticipating Joe Bonamassa’s long overdue return to Telluride. The last time he played here was 2007 and we knew we had a gutiar icon on our hands. We can’t wait for him to leave everyone stunned.”
Courtney McClary, Director Of Operations added, “We are excited to showcase the finest display of modern blues from some familar artists like JJ Grey & Mofro, Tab Benoit and Samantha Fish, along with some new faces like Marc Broussard and Eric Gales. Funk fans will not want to miss keyboard virtuoso Neal Francis, along with Eddie Roberts’ (The New Mastersounds) new project The Lucky Strokes.”
Artists will perform on three stages under towering 13,000-foot Rocky Mountain peaks as the fall foliage season begins to brighten the landscape. To complement the music, the festival proudly boasts a wide variety of local and regional food and craft vendors, cozy late night club shows, stand up comedy performances and luxurious VIP and Super VIP experiences.
