The views. The music. The friendships. What a ride.
Thank you to everyone who joined us aboard the 2026 Durango Blues Train, August 20–22, for three unforgettable nights of live blues, mountain scenery and good times on the rails.
From the moment the train pulled out of Durango, the energy was electric. Six incredible artists filled the vintage train coaches with live music while fans moved from car to car, danced, sang along and took in the spectacular scenery of the San Juan Mountains.
Most importantly, thank you to you, the fans, for making the Durango Blues Train such a special experience year after year. This event simply wouldn't be the same without the people who climb aboard and bring the energy.
Thank You For Three Unforgettable Nights!
A huge thank you to the incredible 2026 lineup: The Boneshakers, Dick Earl’s Electric Witness, Dave Jordan & Co, Kara Grainger, Nigel Wearne, and Weary Ramblers.
Each artist brought their own sound and energy to the train, creating a musical experience that could only happen aboard the Durango Blues Train.
Thank You to Our Partners & Crew
