2013 NightGrass Schedule
For the twelfth consecutive year, Festivarians from around the world will take the sunset gondola from Telluride to Mountain Village to celebrate the kick-off of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. It's the official beginning to four adventurous, magical days of music and festivation in Telluride, with one of Festivarian Nation's favorite bands. It will be one of the sets people talk about all weekend — a high-energy improvisational freak-out, followed by a Festivarian-filled gondola ride descending into the lights of Telluride. If this is your first Telluride, this is where to begin. If it's not your first, well... then you already know.

After the last note has been played on the main stage, musicians make their way to the Sheridan for the festival's last epic jams. Many emotional notes will be played and sung deep, deep into this night as we bid farewell to Telluride's 40th. Much like Yonder's kick-off party on Wednesday night, this show has become an essential part of the Telluride Bluegrass experience for many. The Punch Brothers are the soundtrack to our journey home; they are the musical guide to set us on our way toward the 41st Telluride Bluegrass next Summer Solstice.
Special thanks to our NightGrass partner...
