B.B. King was quoted saying, “Out of the 90 different countries I’ve been to, I’ve never seen anything more beautiful than what you have here.” With the Rocky Mountains as the stage backdrop, the King of the Blues is absolutely right. Celebrating 15 years this past September, Telluride Blues & Brews has become one of the festivals in America you must attend. The festival is a three-day celebration of music and microbrews, held in Telluride Town Park, an outdoor music venue surrounded by breathtaking 13,000 foot mountain peaks. Though the primary focus is Blues, soul, gospel, rock and a touch of jam bands make this festival noteworthy enough to be listed in the best selling book, 1,000 Places to See in the USA and Canada Before You Die.
