Making the guitar sing. 🎸

One last Sunday in Telluride. One last day of dancing, singing, sunshine, and big-time blues.

Day 3 brought the 32nd Telluride Blues & Brews Festival home in the best way possible. From the stage to the campgrounds, you showed up and made it one hell of a weekend.

Thank you, Telluride. Thank you to every artist, volunteer, partner, crew member, and fan who made it happen.

Until next year.

Some nights are special. Some nights become Telluride history.

Tab Benoit brought the deep Louisiana blues, gritty guitars, swampy soul, and that unmistakable sound that feels like it’s been rolling down the bayou forever. Then Jon Batiste stepped in and took the whole thing somewhere else, bringing his boundless energy, New Orleans spirit, and pure musical brilliance to the park.
