| Telluride, Colorado (January 31, 2023) - As the summer season begins to approach in the world-famous mountain town of Telluride, Colorado, the Telluride Jazz Festival reveals its 2023 artist lineup. Set on August 11-13, 2023, the festival presents a well-rounded, diverse mix of live jazz, funk, rock, soul, and gospel performances featuring Gregory Porter, St. Paul & the Broken Bones, Tower of Power, The Soul Rebels, Jamison Ross, Butcher Brown, Lady Wray and many more. The complete list of announced artists is included below. “We’re thrilled to have a progressive artist lineup at Telluride Jazz Festival this year,” says Steve Gumble, Festival Director. “Gregory Porter, St Paul & the Broken Bones, Butcher Brown, Shamarr Allen and Lady Wray represent the current guard of artists blending the jazz tradition with modern hip-hop and soul stylings. Artists like Takuya Kuroda and Keyon Harrold will satisfy those partial to traditional jazz. The New Orleans jazz scene has strong representation once again from The Soul Rebels and Tuba Skinny. Of course, I can’t forget to mention Tower of Power. You'd be hard pressed to find a more iconic funk touring-group and we’re looking forward to their return to our stage.” Telluride Town Park is renowned as one of America's most scenic and spectacular live music venues. Nestled among the aspen trees and surrounded by 13,000 foot mountain peaks, festival artists will perform on the state-of-the-art Main Stage. A secondary stage, "Society Stage", free of admission, will host weekend programming including interactive artist and student band performances in the center of Telluride. The intimate performances on the "Society Stage" aim to further the mission of Telluride Society for Jazz to provide student music education. See a full list of student artists below. In addition, luxurious VIP and Patron Festival Experiences offer elevated culinary and cocktail aspects to the weekend. A fleet of special events round out the festival with free yoga sessions, a morning jam, a free historical walking tour, cozy late night shows and more. 2023 Telluride Jazz Festival Artist Lineup: Gregory Porter St. Paul & the Broken Bones Tower of Power The Soul Rebels Jamison Ross Butcher Brown Lady Wray Keyon Harrold Takuya Kuroda Tuba Skinny Shamarr Allen The Legendary Singing Stars Josh Quinlan Q'tet featuring Terell Stafford Annie Booth Sextet The McCarthy Trio 2023 Student Artists: Telluride Student All-Stars Jazz Ensemble Voodoo Orchestra Deep Pocket Hooligans Inevitables Worst Case Scenario Stillwater All-Stars Festival tickets are on sale February 1, 2023 at 10am (MT). 3-Day Passes are $230 plus fees, Single-Day Passes start at $90 plus fees.
