Keith 'Scramble' Campbell

Scramble Campbell (born Keith Campbell, 1964) is an American artist known for his brightly colored, expressionist paintings and screen prints of bands, musicians, and musical events.

His remarkable body of work features not only a visual record of music legends but also some of today’s most exciting emerging talent. Live Music Painting is a form of visual performance art, where the artist creates a piece during a public performance at a live music event—whether at an amphitheatre, arena, bar, festival, fair, hall, or venue. When the music stops and the band leaves the stage, what remains on Campbell's easel is a unique visual record of the performance, brought to life through brushes and paint.

Known for his bold use of color, powerful compositions, and energetic technique, Campbell adds a visual dimension to the concert experience by producing a one-of-a-kind artwork during each show.

A Colorado local, Campbell has been painting at the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival since 2012 and has spent over 40 years traveling across the country, creating art live on the road. His work has been featured at major events, including the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre near his hometown.

At Telluride Blues & Brews, you can find him painting live in his usual spot in the VIP area along the fence.

Take a look at this incredible festival through the eyes and color-splashed palette of 'Scramble' Campbell.
