2021 Twilight Sessions With Anders Osborne
New for 2021! Join us for an intimate and special solo, acoustic set from Anders Osborne at the historic, open-air Telluride Transfer Warehouse following the Sunset Blues Concert on Thursday, September 16.
Set in the heart of Telluride at one of the town's most illustrious historic landmarks, the new Twilight Session at the Transfer Warehouse will take place just after "Alpenglow" when the last of the sun's rays set on the tops of the mountain peaks. This Twilight Session show perfectly fills the time gap between the free Sunset Blues Concert and Bal De Maison opening show and will be highlighted by a solo, acoustic set performed by one of the festival's most cherished artists, Anders Osborne.
Doors: 7:15 pm
Showtime: 7:30 pm
Please note, VIP and Juke Joints passes are not valid for show entry, this is a separate ticket.
Anders Osborne
Anders is this festival’s BFF. It just wouldn’t be Blues & Brews without his presence. The Crescent City’s adopted son has the soul of a poet and the heart of a warrior. His songs have been covered by a slew of artists from Tim McGraw to Jonny Lang to Aaron Neville, and his guitar playing is powerful, emotional and piercing. In addition to his musical prowess, the transplanted Swede’s compassion extends to all his fellow travelers working to maintain their hard-won sobriety. Send Me A Friend, a national network of “sober friends” that are on call to come to a show and offer a helping hand and source of support for struggling musicians. SMAF’s mission is to support newly-sober musicians and music industry professionals who are on the road to a new way of life by helping get them back to work again. Here’s to friends for life.
The Telluride Transfer Warehouse
The Transfer Warehouse has been a vital place of exchange for over a century. Once the central axis for the transfer of goods and supplies, it is now a public center for the transfer of arts and ideas. Small yet mighty, like Telluride, the flexible space will liberate, incubate, and amplify artists’ voices.
In the early 1900's, during the height of the mining boom, the only way in and out of town was by narrow-gauge railroad. The tracks ran alongside this very same corridor known then as the Warehouse District: a bustling hub of people and goods flowing in and out of the city. When the boom ended, Telluride became all but a ghost town, and many of the structures were left for ruin. However two of the buildings located on property, the Stronghouse (now Telluride’s newest craft brewery) and in particular the Transfer Warehouse still stand today as historic landmarks and reminders of their time.
