• Horror Authors Read Summer Slashers

    Painted Lady Bed & Brew
    horrorTickets

    Four local horror authors, Jeff C. Carter, Scotty Milder, TL Bodine, and Bradley Nordell, read and discuss summer slasher fiction as part of Painted Lady's ongoing Brews & Boos series. The bar at Painted Lady is genuinely small, so this reads less like a bookstore event and more like being three feet away from someone...

    Chasing Adequate takes the stage at Marble's Downtown location, one of the more reliably good outdoor setups on this stretch of Central.

  • Kiko & Le Zydeco Hot Live on Route 66 at Thirsty Eye

    Thirsty Eye Brewing Company
    live musicDetails

    Zydeco on Central is a rarer thing than it should be, and Kiko & Le Zydeco Hot are the real article, built around accordion and a rubboard rhythm section that tends to get people moving whether they planned on it or not. Thirsty Eye is a mid-sized brewpub room with decent acoustics for a live...

  • LOADED Live at Tractor Brewing Wells Park

    Downtownlive musicDetails

    LOADED brings a rock covers set to Tractor's Wells Park taproom, one of the more reliably good outdoor-to-indoor live music setups on the corridor. The Wells Park location runs a little grittier and more neighborhood-local than Tractor's other spots, which tends to make for a crowd that's actually there to listen. Admission isn't confirmed yet,...

  • Flamenco Dinner Show at Hotel

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    arts & cultureTickets

    Three bailaoras, a cantaor, and a guitarist perform live flamenco during dinner service at the tablao inside Hotel Albuquerque, one of the few purpose-built flamenco venues on the corridor. The room is small and the stage sits low, so the percussion of footwork registers in your chest in a way that a larger theater never...

  • Women’s Voices: Sing Sista Sing

    Albuquerque Museum
    Old Townall agesTickets

    Toni Morgan brings together a lineup of women vocalists for this jazz and blues evening in the museum's outdoor amphitheater, part of a summer series that has been anchoring Saturday nights in Old Town for 35 years. The grounds hold several hundred people comfortably and the acoustics are better than you'd expect from an open-air...

  • Kevin McDonald Superstar Rock Opera

    Sunshine Theatre
    comedyTickets

    A rock opera built around Kevin McDonald, the Kids in the Hall member, staged for a single performance on the Box's mainstage. The Box is an intimate black-box space, so even the back row is close enough to catch every facial expression, which matters a lot in a show this concept-driven. Grab tickets ahead of...

  • AJ Mathews Comedy Headline Show

    Two Cranes Bistro & Brew
    comedyTickets

    AJ Mathews takes the headliner slot for this stand-up night produced by local comedy promoter AJ DeLeon, whose shows tend to run with a full supporting lineup before the closer. Two Cranes keeps the room intimate enough that there is no bad seat, which matters more than people expect for comedy. Tickets are through Hold...

  • Madonna Tribute Night at Nob Hill’s Social Club

    Albuquerque Social Club
    Nob HilldanceTickets

    A full-night Madonna dance party at one of Nob Hill's most reliably fun LGBTQ+ bars, running from 9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on a Saturday. The Social Club keeps its floor small and its crowd warm, which means this will feel like a house party with a good sound system rather than a club night....

    Local independent improv teams get the stage to themselves for a night of short-form and long-form sets at The Box, one of the more serious comedy rooms on Central. The...
