“31 years in and we have one of the most diverse Telluride Blues & Brews Festival lineups ever” said Festival Director and Founder Steve Gumble. “Our favorite brothers and recent Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame nominees, The Black Crowes return for the first time since 2013 in the top slot. They have to be one of our favorite acts over the years and will surely bring a fierce mix of Southern Rock, blues and soul. We’re thrilled to welcome funk phenom, Thundercat for his Telluride debut that will groove us Saturday night. And I look forward to hearing that unmistakable voice and country-blues from Lukas Nelson again on our stage.” 

Courtney McClary Yug, Director Of Operations added, “We are excited to showcase the finest display of modern blues from some familiar artists like Samantha Fish, Anders Osborne and Otis Taylor, along with some new collaborations and artists JD Simo & Luther Dickinson and Devon and Allman's Blues Summit. Modern rock fans will be thrilled with performances from David Shaw (frontman of the Revivalists), along with high-energy jammed out sets from Andy Frasco & The U.N. and The Nude Party.”
