Telluride Blues and Brews reveals lineup

- By Dylan Owens

The winter equinox brought us the lineup for Telluride Bluegrass. And now that the sun has set on the spring equinox, we’ve got the lineup to the mountain hamlet’s other humdinger: Telluride Blues and Brews.

This year, Robert Plant & The Sensationa­l Space Shifters, Ben Harper & Charlie Musselwhit­e, and Gov’t Mule will headline the fest. Check out the full 29-act lineup below.

Three-day passes to the festival are $200 and are on sale now via tellurideb­lues.com. Singleday tickets go on sale June 13.

The chichi mountain gathering, which takes place Sept. 14-16, is a diamond among Colorado’s increasing­ly crowded music festival scene, pairing a smart cross section of blues talent with dozens of craft breweries. This year’s beer roster features 56 craft breweries carrying a total of 170 different varieties of beer and cider, including at least one beer exclusive to the festival: Sierra Nevada’s Back Porch Lager.
