Shelby had a really, really good 2024 Blues and Brews festival. We’ll let him tell it.
“In September of 2024, The Lucky Strokes headed up to Telluride, Colorado to play at the Telluride Blues and Brews festival. A few months before this, I had entered my name into the hat for the infamous Telluride Blues Challenge, and competition featuring some of the country’s finest unknown blues singers and players, and I actually had the honor of winning first place! After the win, I played a full band set on the main stage with The Lucky Strokes, and then played my own solo acoustic set on the main stage right after that. It was a crazy couple of hours in the magical land of Telluride that I will never forget.”
For winning the Blues Challenge, he was automatically invited back. Lucky us, as between his work with The Lucky Strokes, his Southern touring band, Royal Horses, and a fulfilling family life back in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, his is a full calendar. Here’s to another magical Telluride experience, Shelby! Welcome back!
