11 May Durango Blues Train: Two Weekends In 2014

The Durango Blues Train is excited to announce the August event’s musical lineup for the second weekend of the 2014 Blues Train, taking place August 22nd and 23rd. Musicians include Matthew Curry and the Fury, Alex Maryol, Kirk James, Kipori Woods, Leon J, One Roof Blues, Scotty Spenner, Franco Paletta, Rockin Jake, Donny Morales, Valerie James, and Kevin Jones.

The Durango Blues Train expands to two unforgettable weekends in 2014, May 30 and 31st and August 22 and 23rd. Presented by the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival and SBG Productions, this unique event takes place aboard the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in Durango, Colorado. Each night will feature a different lineup of six live blues artists, to passengers traveling aboard the historic coal-fired, steam-powered train as it winds through the spectacular canyons of the Colorado San Juan National Forest.

The Durango Blues Train previously announced the lineup for the first weekend of the 2014 Blues Train, on May 30th and 31st with award-winning musical guests including Big Sam’s Funky Nation, Todd & The Fox, Robby Overfield, Kipori Woods, The Bottoms Up Blues Gang, Eddie Turner, C.W. Ayon, Johnny Long, Chris Dracup, and Gino Matteo.

Each artist performs in a different vintage coach car, while passengers are free to sample the different musical acts by traveling from one rail car to next. The Blues train experience begins at the historic train depot where the steam engine fires up and it’s all aboard for an experience of a lifetime. Passengers aboard will experience spectacular and breathtaking canyon views of Colorado’s San Juan National Forest as the train winds onto the “Highline,” a world famous section of railroad crawling along cliffs high above the Animas River, for an unforgettable musical journey.

Guests can enjoy a beer and wine cash bar with light snacks while riding the train. Tickets are $95 per person, plus a 7% Historic Train Preservation fee. Tickets are extremely limited and purchasers must be 21 or older to participate.

Tickets for both 2014 Durango Blues Train events, May 30-31 and August 22-23, 2014 are currently on sale and tickets are now limited.
