Bursting with hope, inspiration, and gratitude, WinterWonderGrass Festival announces its 2023 lineup, and will celebrate its 10 year Colorado anniversary on March 3-5, 2023 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
WinterWonderGrass is back! After being forced to take 2021 off due to the risks associated with COVID-19, it was a joyous celebration in the mountains when the crown jewel of Colorado’s winter festival season event kicked off on Friday.
What The Night Brings celebrated the life and legacy of the one and only Jeff Austin and was a show that many in the Bluegrass world had been looking forward to for quite some time. While the reason it was happening was tragic, the line-up was formidable. In the words of musical director Nick Forster, it was like all of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival coming together on one night.
Telluride Bluegrass isn’t your typical music festival. It’s steeped in tradition and community in ways that very few others are. This sense of community permeates every aspect of the festival, from the musicians to the Planet Bluegrass team to the thousands of people that circle this weekend on their calendar every summer.
The Summer Solstice has always been a significant time of year for celebration in many cultures and that holds true for Bluegrass “festivarians” as well. Each year, more than 10,000 music lovers, many of them repeat offenders, congregate in one of the most picturesque box canyons known to man, Telluride Colorado. This unique town has been host to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival since its inception in 1974. That’s 45 years of perfecting a balance of bluegrass, hippies, outdoor enthusiasts.
Saturday night marked the return of the mighty Phil Lesh to the stage of the majestic amphitheater. The lots were full early, and with the near perfect weather and the Cinco De Mayo holiday, it felt a bit like a FESTIVAL! It almost goes without saying that a huge contingent in the crowd were Deadheads, both grey-haired and baby-faced, some of whom may have been in attendance 40 years ago when Phil first played The Rocks with The Grateful Dead.
First of all, before we get too far down the road, each and every person who was in Steamboat for WinterWonderGrass last weekend is to be commended. From employees and organizers to fans and musicians, this was a dedicated bunch. Temperatures plunged down into the single digits as they worked, danced, poured, and played, but those who played music up on the big stage have to be singled out as the most hardcore of them all. While many could bundle up and put on the heaviest of ski gloves to keep fingers from freezing solid, those musicians had to keep their fingers dancing on the strings, skins, and keys in a vain attempt to keep the blood flowing.
On Thursday, June 15th, the main street of Colorado’s most captivating town, was abuzz with an energy and excitement as the crowds (some there for days) made their way to Town Park for the start of the 45th Annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival. There is no better setting for a music festival; there is no better music for such a setting.
