Telluride Blues & Brews Festival has announced its return to Telluride, Colo.’s Town Park, set for Sept. 16-18. This year’s event makes the festival’s 28th celebration, and, as is tradition, will emanate a blend of blues, soul, indie, funk, jam, gospel and rock music from their stages.
The event will welcome headliners by Buddy Guy, Gov’t Mule and CeeLo Green to their three stages at the base of the Rocky Mountains. CeeLo Green will bring his “Soul Brotha #100” James Brown tribute to the event.
“Each year, it is our mission to curate a top-notch experience that our faithful attendees have come to expect and once again, I couldn’t be more excited about what we have crafted,” said Festival Director and Founder Steve Gumble, in a press release. “Of course it goes without saying, it is an honor to welcome the legendary torch bearer of blues music, Buddy Guy, back to our stage. When I heard that CeeLo Green was doing a tribute to James Brown (a music icon we were fortunate enough to have at our festival back in 2001), it took me less than a minute to reach out.”
The three-day festival will also see performances by John Hiatt & The Goners, The War And Treaty, Anders Osborne, Tab Benoit, Samantha Fish, Curtis Harding, Thee Sacred Souls, Devon Gilfillian, Carolyn Wonderland, Shinyribs, Oh He Dead, Colin James, Robert Jon & The Wreck, Zach Person, Eddie 9V, Ghalia Volt and more.
Gumble continued to write, “We will always have our familiar favorites like Gov’t Mule, Anders Osborne and Samantha Fish and we know that our new friends Curtis Harding and The War And Treaty are going to feel right at home with our festival family. There are just too many exciting bands this year to mention all of them!”
As one would expect, Telluride Blues & Brews Festival will welcome a vast array of craft beers and artisan brewers to the event. The weekend will also receive local food vendors and provide free yoga sessions, gondola rides between Telluride and the Mountain Village and group mountain bike rides.
