Bob Beach: Telluride Blues & Brews Festival 2026

First time for David and Bob at this storied festival. Lots of great artists.

Bob Beach plays harmonica with calm fierceness. A mouth-harp maestro who swaggers into a solo like The Marlboro Man, then quietly leaves the set while the rest of us wonder what just happened and how such a tiny instrument could possibly sound like that.

Bob has been a working professional musician for 50 years, bringing harmonica, flute, and vocals to a broad scope of genres. As a sideman, he has recorded or performed with national acts such as; Ollabelle, Langhorne Slim, The Avett Brothers, Pat Wictor, Sean Mullins, Kim Richey, Lizanne Knott and many more.
