A cherished Festivarian tradition, FirstGrass is a free outdoor show in the stunning Sunset Plaza in Mountain Village–it’s the perfect way to begin your Telluride Bluegrass experience at 9,540’!
Board the free gondola from Telluride up to Mountain Village, and plan to spend the evening dining at one of the numerous great restaurants, wandering the shops, taking in the spectacular views, and enjoying the first official sounds of the 46th Annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
Jon Stickley Trio
Jon Stickley Trio is a genre-defying and cinematic instrumental trio, whose deep grooves, innovative flatpicking, and sultry-spacy violin moves the listener’s head, heart, and feet. With inspiration ranging from from Green Day to Duran Duran to Tony Rice to Nirvana, Grateful Dead, David Grisman and beyond, the Trio is making waves with their unique sound. Along with releasing two full length albums and one EP in the past few years, the Trio has zig-zagged the nation – they are road tested and band geek approved!
Ben, Adam, Andy, Mojo
BAAM! An only-in-Telluride jamgrass supergroup featuring Ben Kaufmann & Adam Aijala (of Yonder Mountain String Band), Andy Thorn (of Leftover Salmon), and Stephen “Mojo” Mougin (of Sam Bush Band)! You’re not gonna want to miss this one.
