Nightlife - Music & Events

Yesterday, March 31, The Melodians played at the Sheridan Opera House. This was one of the last major shows the Opera House had before the off season and boy oh boy it a great way to go out!

Telluride Aids Benefits (TAB) mission is to help generate financial support for those who are fighting HIV/AIDS and enable them to receive the proper care and programs. TAB is more than just a fashion show; it’s a series of week long events such as awareness discussions, parties, auctions, etc.

Although I’m quite musically diversified, Bluegrass is a genre in which I have little knowledge about. After doing some research about Telluride prior to moving out here, I discovered that this town is really BIG on Bluegrass. When I found out that Greensky Bluegrass was playing at the Sheridan Opera House I had to check it out and see what they hype was all about.

On Tuesday, January 12, the legendary reggae group the Wailers played at the Telluride Conference Center.

My third night in Telluride I hit the town for a girls night. Our first mission of the night was to grab dinner and wine. The place of choice was Floradora Saloon, which has a very western feel. Upon my arrival I was greeted by all of the girls including a familiar face from back home in Arizona! After having great service and an amazing meal, the group came to the conclusion that they night must go on!

Before unpacking my belongings I was ready to see what Telluride had to offer. We first drove up to Mountain Village to have a wonderful spaghetti dinner. After letting our food settle, we headed out to the Gondola station to meet up with some people for a night of fun.

Last night, Yonder Mountain played to a sold out (took only 7 minutes to sell out) crowd at NightGrass and officially kicked off the Telluride Bluegrass Festival!

This week the town of Telluride is enjoying a little more down time before Summer fully begins. Locals are spending time rafting, fishing, horseback riding, and doing a lot of things people come here to do during a summer vacation. School isn't out quite yet- just one more week before graduation, but that hasn't stopped most of the kids of Telluride from wearing summer attire of flip flops, shorts, and tank tops.

This past weekend, the town of Telluride was graced by the presence of some TV's funniest comedians. The four day Fest attracts stars like Rob Corddry, Arj Barker of Flight of the Conchords, and Ed Helms of The Office performing stand up, improv, and hilarious skits. After the show, we hung out with the stars at the local watering holes and congratulated them on a great weekend.
