Telluride Blues & Brews 2026 — Colorado's Blues Festival

Telluride Blues & Brews returns to Town Park in Telluride on September 20, 2026. This iconic Colorado festival brings together twenty-one artists in a breathtaking mountain setting, offering a top-tier blues, jazz, and rock lineup.

The bill is headlined by three exceptional acts: JON BATISTE, the multi-award-winning musician turned modern jazz superstar, TAJ MAHAL, a living legend of delta blues, and Judith Hill. The lineup also features Marcus King, SAMANTHA FISH, and Charlie Musselwhite.

From acoustic blues to psychedelic rock, through Chicago blues, swamp blues, bluegrass, and funk, the festival explores the deep roots of American music. The addition of country and contemporary folk enriches an already remarkable bill.

Telluride, nestled in the Colorado Rocky Mountains at over 8,900 feet elevation, provides a spectacular natural backdrop for this autumn festival. The combination of blues and craft beer makes it a unique gathering for genre enthusiasts.
