Sep 20, 2010 by

Ah, the Blues and Brews Festival, a weekend long party in Telluride’s Town Park that signifies the end of the summer festival season.

This year’s musical lineup included B.B. King, Galactic, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi, Jimmy Vaughan and George Thorogood.

Sep 14, 2010 by

With most of the state already into the off-season, Telluride likes to host one last party every summer.
