| David Byrne at Telluride Bluegrass |
|---|
Thanks to eveyone who shared the summer solstice with us at the 36th Telluride Bluegrass Festival. From the opening set with Tim O'Brien and Jerry Douglas; thru stunning evening performances from David Byrne, Elvis Costello & the Sugarcanes, and Sam Bush; to the epic finale with the Telluride House Band, the musical magic was unforgettable for four days in the San Juan Mountains. Share your thoughts in our Festival Survey (and maybe win tickets to the 2009 Festival).
