Blues Night at Civic Plaza Downtown

Three serious players share a bill for Blues Night, the capstone evening of the 20th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival: Judith Hill (a vocalist who has worked with Prince and Michael Jackson), local hero Levi Platero, and Michael Matison. Civic Plaza is an open hardscape downtown, so the sound carries well but there is no seating built in, meaning a folding chair or a willingness to stand for hours will determine your experience. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so sort that out before you show up at the plaza.
