This weekend, Telluride Blues & Brews took over Telluride Town Park, bringing the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Steve Winwood, Taj Mahal and Keb’ Mo’ Band, Anders Osborne, Drive-By Truckers, Benjamin Booker, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Tab Benoit, The Magpie Salute, Eric Lindell, and more to the charming town nestled in Colorado’s San Juan Mountains. Telluride frequently plays host to a number of internationally renowned music festivals, such as Telluride Bluegrass and Telluride Jazz, and Telluride Blues & Brews is no different, with its lineup celebrating blues, funk, jam bands, indie, rock, gospel, and soul regularly drawing huge names. Across the festival’s four nights and three days—this year falling from September 14th through September 17th—Blues & Brews saw consistently top-notch performances, with the shows eventually spilling over into the town’s intimate Sheridan Opera House, which only has a capacity of 240 people, after the main music of the day was over.
