Phil Lesh, Gov't Mule and B-52s Headline Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, Sept 14-16

The 19th Annual Telluride Blues & Brews Festival announced the initial 2012 lineup today. Phil Lesh & Friends, Gov't Mule, and the B-52s headline the September Festival weekend, with additional festival appearances by Chris Robinson Brotherhood, MarchFourth Marching Band, Tab Benoit, Little Hurricane and The Lee Boys, with many more acts to be announced. Tickets for the 19th Annual Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, held September 14-16, 2012, are on sale now.

"We are extremely excited with the lineup this year in Telluride," said Steve Gumble, Festival Director. "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 festival's 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. 

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 serve up their unique blend of music with their combination of rock'n'roll, funk and retro-hip music.

Tickets for 3-Day passes, Juke Joint passes, and Camping passes are on sale now. Single day tickets go on Sale June 15th.
