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.

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 years old to participate.

Tickets for the 2014 Durango Blues Train on August 22-23, 2014 are currently on sale now. For more information or to purchase tickets visit DurangoBluesTrain.com or call (877) 515-6166.
