2022 Blues & Brews Late Night Shows

The festival nightlife in Telluride is a thriving scene built on a musically-charged local culture. After the music ends in Town Park for the evening, we move the festival scene into various music venues located throughout the town of Telluride. These are our "Juke Joints" and, once they get jamming, a walk down Main Street feels like a walk down Beale Street in Memphis. From jammed out performances that approach last call, to foot-stomping rock shows and legendary collaborations, the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival's Juke Joint shows are not to be missed.
