“Morning Jam” on Saturday and Sunday from 9-10 am at the Telluride Arts HQ
If you have an instrument and love playing it, come join us for a jam session! Bring your horn and get ready to play with other musicians. Start your Telluride Jazz Festival mornings off with live jazz music at Morning Jam at the Telluride Arts HQ on Main Street. Attendees can enjoy performances led by students from Caleb Chapman’s Soundhouse in the heart of downtown Telluride, steps away from the “Society Stage” at Elks Park and minutes away from the Telluride Town Park Main Stage. All musicians are welcome and encouraged to join in on the jam for an improvisational performance to get their day swinging. The jam will be first come first play, with a sign up sheet. The music jams will go from 9 - 10 am on both Saturday August 12 and Sunday August 13 and are open to the public.
Telluride Arts HQ
220 W Colorado Ave
Built in the 1890’s and formerly owned by its namesakes the Pekkarines, the building once housed the only dry goods store in Telluride and the area’s most renowned cobbler. It has since acted as a gallery space and a commercial store front, was home to Telluride’s iconic Between the Covers bookstore for nearly 50 years, and now operates as the headquarters for Telluride Arts. The headquarters includes a space for visual art and performance art. The gallery is a welcoming space that is home to exhibits, music, poetry, comedy, a small shop, and the offices for the nonprofit organization.
