Video

Every House Band set anyone has posted publicly on YouTube, grouped by the June it was played. Full shows and playlists sit at the top of each year, multi-part uploads and setlist series follow in playing order, and loose clips come last, longest first. Durations and uploader names are as listed on YouTube.

The band: Sam Bush (mandolin), Béla Fleck (banjo), Jerry Douglas (dobro), Edgar Meyer (bass), Stuart Duncan (fiddle), Bryan Sutton (guitar), Chris Eldridge (guitar, 2025–26).

Years with nothing

• 2014 · 41st — Nothing posted. A year-by-year search turns up no House Band footage at all.
• 2017 · 44th — Also empty, though Owen Perkins filmed six parts of Sam Bush Band at the same festival.
• 2020 · 47th — The festival was cancelled; Planet Bluegrass ran a streamed “Telluride Bluegrass Reunion” instead.
• 2000–2007 — Searched year by year. The band played every June, but nothing from before 2008 has been uploaded.

Where a year has both a complete show and separate song uploads, the same music often appears twice — the individual clips are usually the better camera and audio. Compiled by searching “Telluride House Band” against every year from 2000 to 2026 and then walking the uploaders’ channels. YouTube ranks the same query differently each time, so a stray upload may still be out there. Years are the June the set was played, taken from titles and descriptions, not the upload date.
