You might be familiar with that old saying, “March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb”. Well, the beginning of March in 2020 certainly lived up to that reputation, but unfortunately, the end of March did not get the memo. We were certain that this COVID-19 craziness would settle down by September. We held on to each day and each update and watched our hopes of holding Blues & Brews fade as each day passed. Having said that, it is with tremendous sadness that I sit here forced to write what I thought I would never have to write - the 27th Telluride Blues & Brews Festival will be cancelled for 2020. This is the toughest decision I have made but without a doubt, it is the right thing to do. As we “unwind” the tremendous work that has gone into this year’s festival, the postponement is not only painful and sad, but will have a deep impact on our small, independent company. We realize that many folks are in tough position right now, so we are offering ticket-holders the options to roll tickets over for the 2021 event, donate the value of ticket purchases to help us keep our lights on, or obtain a full refund. If you’re in the position to do so, we ask that you consider a donation or rolling over your tickets to 2021 to help see the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival through these challenging times.
