2023 Blues & Brews Late Night Shows
The Music Continues Long After The Sun Sets!
The nightlife in Telluride is a thriving scene built on a strong, musically-charged local culture and there’s plenty to experience each night of the festival. Thursday’s kick-off includes the exclusive Bal De Maison Opening Show at the Sheridan Opera House. After the music ends in the park, the festival scene moves into various venues across the town of Telluride. Friday and Saturday evening hosts four different “Juke Joint” shows each night showcasing an assortment of artists up close and personal and a stand-up comedy venue. Sunday the festival concludes with the celebrated Fais Do-Do Closing Show. Dive into the full late night schedule below.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 - BAL DE MAISON - OPENING PARTY
Doors: 8:30 pm | Showtime: 9:00 pm
Christone "Kingfish" Ingram Sheridan Opera House
Originally Bal de Maison's were dances held at someones house - typically in the front room which was cleared of furniture. Quite often these dances were announced by the host of the party simply by standing on their porch and yelling to their neighbor. Word would often travel up to 40 miles this way. Well here is our shout out - we are having a dance party to open the Festival, spread the word!

The Word Sheridan Opera House
"Fais Do Do" roughly translates to "Cajun dance party". The parties were named for the gentle command ('go to sleep') young mothers offered bawling infants so that they could get back out and dance with their husbands before someone else did. This is our final show of the weekend and soon we will all go to sleep! This show is a highlight for many and one you won't want to miss!
