Joseph General brings his roots-forward Albuquerque sound to the Botanic Garden, with High Vibration along for a 90-minute outdoor set on a July evening. The garden stage puts you in the middle of the landscaping rather than facing a wall of speakers, which makes the whole thing feel more like a backyard hang than a...
Mineral Hill brings their set to Tractor's Wells Park patio, one of the better outdoor stages on the corridor for a July evening. The trees out back actually do something about the heat, which matters when it's still 85 degrees at showtime. Check 505live for admission details before you go, since nothing's been posted yet.
David Garcia takes the stage at Tractor Brewing's Nob Hill location, the outdoor patio spot that has become one of the more reliable rooms on this stretch of Central for catching local singer-songwriters on a summer Friday night. The 505 Live Music listing doesn't show a cover, but Tractor's patio shows tend to draw a...
Song Diva takes the stage at Thirsty Eye Brewing for a Thursday night set on Central. Thirsty Eye is a compact, low-key room where the bar and the stage share the same small footprint, so you'll hear every note whether you want to or not. Check the ticket link for admission details before you head...
A fundraiser at Painted Lady Bed & Brew on Central, raising money for Barrett House, Albuquerque's longest-running shelter for women and children experiencing homelessness. Painted Lady is a genuine neighborhood spot with good beer and a porch that earns its reputation on warm summer evenings, so the setting does the cause no harm. Tickets are...
Brooklyn rapper Kota the Friend brings his lo-fi, self-produced sound to Sister Bar, one of the tighter indoor rooms on the corridor. His crowds tend to be genuinely invested rather than just out for a Friday, which changes the room feel considerably. Tickets are moving, so waiting on this one has a real cost.
Josh Turner, the South Carolina baritone whose voice sits somewhere between classic country and Southern gospel, plays Kiva Auditorium on his This Country Music Thing Tour. Kiva is a proper seated theater inside the Convention Center, which means good sightlines from almost anywhere in the room but a crowd that tends to stay in their...
The EQNX Jazztet brings small-group jazz to Outpost, one of the few rooms on Central that was purpose-built for listening rather than drinking. Outpost keeps its sight lines clean and its sound dialed, so wherever you sit, you're actually hearing the music.
Three of the more respected names in modern traditional country, Brennen Leigh, Kelly Willis, and Melissa Carper, split a single bill at FUSION 708 on Central. This is a room that punches above its square footage when the booking is right, and this booking is right. Tickets through Hold My Ticket, which means will-call can...
