The Durango Blues Train has released its lineup for this summer’s three-day run on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, set for Aug. 20 to 22.
According to a news release from SBG Productions, this year’s musicians include: The Boneshakers, Dick Earl’s Electric Witness, Dave Jordan & Co, Nigel Wearne, Weary Ramblers and Kara Grainger.
Tickets cost $165 per person and go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday at DurangoBluesTrain.com. The Blues Train is one of those annual events that sells out pretty fast, so make sure you don’t wait on getting your tickets.
This is a 21-and-older event.
The Blues Train is celebrating its 14th year this summer and will bookend with its new sibling, Durango Bluegrass Train, set to hit the rails May 28 to 30. Both trains take riders and performers from Durango into the San Juan National Forest and back, about a 3½-hour ride.
Musicians on the Blues Train will each get their own vintage car in which to play, and passengers are encouraged to make their way through each, as well as visit cars set aside for dancing, bars and relaxing, according to the release.
