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.

2022 Twilight Sessions With Anders Osborne

Set in the heart of Telluride at one of the town's most illustrious historic landmarks, the Twilight Session at the Transfer Warehouse will take place just after "Alpenglow" when the last of the sun's rays set on the tops of the mountain peaks. This Twilight Session show perfectly fills the time gap between the free Sunset Blues Concert and Bal De Maison opening show and will be highlighted by a set performed by one of the festival's most cherished artists, Anders Osborne.
