The 19th Annual Telluride Blues and Brews Festival
The Telluride Blues & Brews Festival takes place in Telluride Town Park, a renowned outdoor music venue with breath-taking mountain vistas for a backdrop. At the heart of our venue is the Fred Shellman Memorial Stage, a small, humble wooden stage that has held the weight of legends over the years.
When B.B. King performed here in 2004, he sat on this same stage, looked out at the mountains before him, and told the crowd, “Out of the 90 different countries I’ve been to, I’ve never seen anything more beautiful than what you have here.” It’s not the altitude that’ll take your breath away. It’s the views.
Book your lodging for the festival this year and if you need more information on the festvities, please visit the Telluride Blues and Brews festival site.

Telluride
The Sheridan Arts Foundation presents New Orleans musician Marc Broussard as part of its Holiday Concert Series. Broussard is an artists with a unique gift of channeling the spirits of classic R&B, rock and soul into contemporary terms. This gift has been a matter of common knowledge since 2002, when Broussard released his debut album, “Momentary Setback,” which he recorded and released independently at age 20. It was no secret before then, going back to those lucky witnesses who heard him belt “Johnny B. Goode” on stage at age 5 while sitting in with his father’s band. Throughout his life, Broussard has been tapped as a talent to watch. Marc’s song “Home” was successful at radio and catapulted him onto the national touring stage. His music has been placed in many TV shows and movies. The timeless, soulful nature of Marc’s voice lends well to film and TV, and will continue to do so for years to come.

Family-oriented fun blending the unique comedy and juggling skills of Gregory Popovich and the extraordinary talents of his performing pets. Each of the show’s 16 cats and 10 dogs were once strays, rescued from animal shelters. Now, they love to show off onstage – by performing a variety of stunts and skits! It’s a show that both adults and kids of all ages enjoy! The Circus Fans Association of America awarded Popovich its 2009 Entertainer of the Year award for his “unique and most enjoyable performance” and the Comedy Pet Theatre was voted Best New Family show in Las Vegas.
