Your support and enthusiasm, combined with the stellar weather, sold-out crowd and great music, created an energy and vibe at the festival that was palpable. Those that participated in the 2015 festival know why Blues & Brews is renowned as one of the most scenic and intimate music festivals in the country. Snow-capped 13,000 foot peaks and bright sunny days made this three day celebration truly grand. The blues, rock, gospel, soul and comedy touched the musical nerve of every person in attendance. 56 breweries and over 170 styles of hand-crafted beers just complimented an already amazing weekend.

2015 was a big year for past performers of the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival! In total, eight Blues & Brews alums received nominations for the 58th Annual GRAMMY Awards. These artists have a shot at winning the recording industry's most prestigious award during 'Music's Biggest Night'.
