Introducing Telluride’s The Ride Festival

Big Head Todd & The Monsters is hosting a new festival in Telluride, Colo., in August along with local NPR-affiliated radio station KOTO.

The Colorado rock band and radio station have hand-picked what is being described as a “rootsy, rocking lineup.” In addition to BHTM, The Ride Festival will feature sets from Ben Harper, Los Lobos, J.J. Grey & Mofro, The Lumineers, North Mississippi Allstars, The Wood Brothers, James McMurtry, David Lindley, Nathaniel Rateliff, Matthew Curry and more. The final lineup and schedule will be announced in June.
