Colorado music festivals cover the spectrum in 2013. They range from the traditional (Telluride Bluegrass) to the neighborhoody (our own Underground Music Showcase); from the national touring kind (Warped Tour) to the mountain rave-y kind (Sonic Bloom); from the down-home country kind (Greeley Stampede) to the hoity industry kind (FMQB Triple A Conference).

Her show had been cancelled, but that didn’t stop alternative folk and rock singer Michelle Shocked from showing up at a Santa Cruz nightclub where she staged a sit-in with tape across her mouth that read “Silenced By Fear.”

Indie folk heroes Mumford & Sons announced their Summer Stampede 2013 on Monday, and the subtitle of the tour is telling, especially for Coloradans: “Calgary > Telluride.”

The next cancellation for Michelle Shocked may be Colorado’s iconic Telluride Bluegrass Festival. TBF organizers, Planet Bluegrass, posted a note on Facebook saying they were “considering the status” of Shocked at the festival.

The full 2013 Telluride Bluegrass Festival lineup has been announced and includes Mumford & Sons, String Cheese Incident and more. See the full lineup here.

Bluegrass darlings, Trampled By Turtles, fresh off of a two day stint last week at the Ogden Theatre made the treck way out west to perform on “It’s a War” on “Conan.”

The 2013 Telluride Bluegrass Festival broke records for its ticket sales, selling out its 4-day passes in just hours — all before a single act had been announced. Now weeks later, Reverb has the first wave of acts, which includes the Sam Bush Band, Jackson Browne and Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell.

Four-day passes for the Telluride Bluegrass Festival 2013 sold out after just three-and-a-half hours of going on sale — a record time, said Brian Eyster, marketing director for TBGF. Last year, passes sold out in 18 days; the year before that, a few months.
