    BarelasacousticDetails

    Taimane is a Hawaiian ukulele player who has genuinely expanded what people think the instrument can do, pulling from flamenco, classical, and rock in ways that hold up under scrutiny. The BioPark Zoo is an unusual setting for a ticketed concert, which means the logistics are different from a standard venue night, so check the...

  • Felix Y Los Gatos Live at Old Town Gazebo

    Old TownlatinDetails

    Felix Y Los Gatos brings their Latin roots sound to the Old Town Gazebo, one of the few outdoor stages in Albuquerque where the setting genuinely competes with the music for your attention. The plaza draws a mixed crowd, locals and tourists side by side, which gives evening shows here an energy that's hard to...

  • Catalogue Live at Marble Brewery Downtown

    Downtowncraft beerDetails

    Catalogue brings their set to Marble Brewery's Downtown taproom, one of the more reliably good live-music rooms on this stretch of Central. The outdoor patio here runs sound better than you'd expect for a brewery show, and the crowd tends to stick around rather than treating the band as background noise. Admission details weren't listed,...

  • The Silver Vigilantes Live at Thirsty Eye

    live musicDetails

    The Silver Vigilantes take the tap room stage at Thirsty Eye late on a Friday night, which tells you something about the energy level you should expect. Thirsty Eye keeps the room small and the beer local, so this is the kind of show where you end up three feet from the band whether you...

  • Tablao Flamenco Dinner Show

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    arts & cultureTickets

    Three bailaores, a cantaor, and guitarist Chuscales perform traditional flamenco in a seated dinner-show format at Hotel Albuquerque on a Friday evening. Chuscales has backed some of the most serious flamenco artists working today, so this skews closer to a genuine performance than dinner theater, even if the setup looks the same from the outside....

    Old Towndate nightTickets

    Flor de Toloache is a New York-based all-women mariachi group that has spent the better part of a decade expanding what the genre can hold, pulling in jazz, cumbia, and bolero without losing the thread back to traditional son. The Albuquerque Museum's courtyard is one of the better outdoor venues on the corridor, small enough...

    Inside Out
    Downtownlate-nightDetails

    The 505 Junglists crew brings another REWIND installment to Inside Out, with Halfblud and MS Vicious handling jungle and drum and bass across the night. Inside Out runs small and close, which works in everyone's favor for music built around sub-bass you feel before you hear it. The listed 9 PM start time is a...

    Three electronic acts, MydNyte, S.A.I.N.T., and Sofly, take over Luna Kava Bar for a late-night session billed as an afters under The Cave series. The 3:00 AM UTC timestamp and a source note flagging the 9:00 PM start as a placeholder both suggest the actual door time is unconfirmed, so check the ticket link before...

    This is a 45-minute long-form improv set running late on a Friday night, produced jointly by The Box and Improv Theatre. The Box is a small black-box room where the audience is close enough to make eye contact with performers, which either thrills you or makes you want to sit in the back row. Tickets...
