Our Festival is 100% carbon neutral! Thanks to our partners Green Mountain Energy Company, we have offset the emissions associated with
the production of Telluride Blues & Brews Festival. Special thanks to EcoAction Partners, who also helps coordinate our waste reduction efforts and the associated carbon footprint reduction through composting and recycling efforts at our festival and for the Town of Telluride.
As a Blues & Brews fan you can help our waste reduction efforts too! Purchase a Green Mountain Energy® Green Ticket today to reduce the environmental impact of your attendance to the festival. Your purchase helps offset a portion of the CO2 emissions created by
your travel to Telluride Blues & Brews Festival by supporting
carbon offset projects that help take action against global climate
change.
By purchasing the $3.00 Green Ticket,
fans offset the equivalent of 220 pounds of CO2. That’s like not driving
a car 245 miles, recycling 550 aluminum cans, or planting 13 trees. To date, Blues & Brews attendees have purchased over 2,500 Green
Tickets and still counting!
It’s simple. Everyday routines like driving our cars, powering our homes, and traveling to music festivals create CO2 emissions. The more CO2 we produce, the hotter the Earth becomes and not in a good way. Telluride Blues and Brew’s commitment over the past 3 years, to track and offset the events carbon footprint, along with offering event goers an easy way to offset their own emissions, has helped to offset approximately 321 metric tons of CO2! This has the same environmental impact as taking approximately 550 houses turning their lights off for one year, or the amount of CO2 absorbed in a year by over 42,000 trees.
All carbon offsets purchased from Telluride will be sourced from Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) or Climate Action Reserve (CAR) projects across the United States. The project is third party certified, which means the offsets are real, permanent, additional, and verifiable.
Be sure to stop by our Green Tent and visit the crew from EcoAction Partners where you can learn what the local community and Blues & Brews is doing to enhance sustainability efforts, like seeing what happens to your compostable products from this festival and even get your cell phone charged from the sun!

Lennie Jones is our featured poster artist for 2012. With a background in music, Lennie began playing professionally in 1965,
and in the late 60's his band was pursued by none other than Frank
Zappa who wanted to sign them to his record label. Opening for the
original Canned Heat, shakin’ hands with Muddy Waters,
Bill Monroe, Bill Graham, seein’ the immortal Jimmy Reed and giggin’ for
Zappa further solidified his love of playing, hearing and living the
Blues. Lennie's music career later morphed into the art world as a painter of the Blues.
We commissioned Lennie to put his distinct Blues spin on the 2012 Telluride Blues & Brews Commemorative Poster continuing our Blues focus poster tradition we have held close for so many years. Renowned for his large-scale, hand-painted Blues focused images, and his primitive style leads some to categorize his artwork as "outsider art," a term attributed to French artist Jean Dubuffet, who coined the phrase Art Brut to describe art that is raw and pure, without the countless layers of training and cultural sophistication that afflicts most mainstream art.
Lennie describes himself in this very fashion saying, "I am an outsider artist, a primitive self-taught painter of the holistic Blues experience." He goes on to describe himself further, "I have thrived in the mysterious and primitive wilderness, very happy,
healthy, and blessed with a timeless source of spiritual inspiration to
my art, heart and soul...An’ the music never left me."
Returning to the Festival for his third year as our poster artist, Lennie Jones presents to you, Blues Burn. Posters will be available for purchase in the Merchandise Tent during the festival and Lennie will be in person for poster signing daily at 2pm.

The 19th Annual Telluride Blues & Brews Festival is proud to announce San Diego Blues/Rock duo Little Hurricane for the Bal de Maison, a special weekend opening performance at the Historic Sheridan Opera House on Thursday, September 13th at 9:00pm. Limited tickets for the Bal de Maison are $20.00 and are currently onsale now at tellurideblues.com or by phone at (866) 515-6166.
Little Hurricane is currently touring the country in support of their debut album, Homewrecker, a hard-hitting sounding album that spins their timeworn dirty blues with a formula of comforting familiarity with originality. That is the one musical accolade that sticks out about this album, their originality and consistency throughout the album. Each album track blends their unique sound with the next and leaves you wanting more! The album is packed with raw, dirty blues spun with indie rock influences, great lyrics and a sound that will be unforgotten.
Little Hurricane embeds soulful verses and harmonized vocals, blending a synergic approach to finding the thread between the electric soul of Chicago blues and the raw grit of West Coast indie rock. Fronted by Anthony “Tone” Catalano on guitar, and backed by Celeste “CC” Spina on drums, the two young multi-instrumentalists have been making waves with their tension-building song structures embedded in six string distortion, heavy percussion, and tragically honest lyrical content.
As I Live Music blogger, Adam E. Smith put it, “this dynamic chemistry has afforded them the chance to take their deep blues tales to the frontlines of festivals with spots at Lollapalooza, South By Southwest, and Austin City Limits.” Making it a habit to stun audiences around the country, the buzzing live performance whirlwind is nothing short of impressive for a Southern California band that met via Craigslist and released their debut album Homewrecker in April of last year.
All festival passes are currently onsale now. Saturday and Sunday passes are $65 with Friday passes fetching just $55. Three-Day passes run $170, Juke Joint passes are $25 per night, and feature late night jams at various intimate venues.

The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival present the 2nd Annual Durango Blues Train this June 2, 2012. This exclusive musical event returns for a second year after overwhelming response and praise for the event’s first blues train. This exclusive ‘moving’ musical experience features seven live blues acts, while passengers travel on The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad’s coal-fired, steam-powered locomotive through the spectacular and breathtaking canyons of Colorado’s San Juan National Forest.
"We are very excited to return for a second amazing year, as this event is a crowd pleaser – sure to thrill music lovers everywhere,” said Steve Gumble, founder of Durango Blues Train. "This event has received incredible support and enthusiasm from both the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and the local community, enabling us to return for a second year."
The Blues Train lineup this year includes Erik Boa and the Constrictors, The Sugar Thieves, Robby Overfield, Big Jim Adam & John Stilwagen, Todd and the Fox, Alex Maryol, and Donny Morales. Each artist performs in their own vintage coach car, as passengers are to free to dance, move and sample all the musical acts while traveling from one vintage rail car to next. Entertainment and favorite libations are peppered with the scenery of the famous train featured in the Hollywood production, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," among others.
Guests can enjoy live blues with a beer and wine cash bar while riding the rails. The train boards at 5:45 PM from the Durango train depot, hits the tracks at 6:20 pm, and arrives back in Durango at approximately 9:45 PM.

“We are extremely excited with the lineup this year in Telluride,” said Steve Gumble, Festival Director. “Phil Lesh, Gov’t Mule and the B-52’s are sure to give stellar performances – the festival weekend boasts amazing and legendary musical talent with much more to come!”
Those looking for the inspiration of the current jam band movement need look no further than Phil Lesh. A founding member of the venerable American musical institution, the Grateful Dead, Lesh has continued to inspire while pushing the envelope with his highly evolved musical performances. His performance in Telluride this fall is one of the most anticipated in the festivals 19 year history.
For guitarist/lead vocalist Warren Haynes and his band, Gov't Mule, creating a new album is akin to walking a tightrope: they write new songs that please old fans, while hopefully garnering new ones. It's not a surprise their coined one of the hardest working bands in rock history...
It is well known that the B-52s are the World’s Greatest Party Band. And thirty years and over twenty million albums into their career, The B-52s remain among the most beloved rock stars ever. Their performance in Telluride Town Park will be one not to miss, as they serve up their unique blend of music with their combination of rock’n’roll, funk and retro-hip music.
