Tonight on the corridor
Just Velvet plays the Old Town Gazebo on a September Saturday evening, which puts you outside in one of Albuquerque's most reliably pleasant spots at exactly the right time of year. The gazebo setting is genuinely intimate, open-air, and surrounded by the plaza, so sound carries in ways that can work for or against a...
Triple-A baseball on Central Avenue, the Isotopes hosting Tacoma in what should be a cool early-September evening with the Sandias going pink behind the outfield. Isotopes Park punches well above its minor-league weight in terms of sightlines and atmosphere, and weekend promotions tend to pull a crowd that actually watches the game rather than treating...
The New Mexico Philharmonic brings a full orchestra into the BioPark Botanic Garden for one of the more genuinely pleasant outdoor concert settings in the city. The gardens do interesting things to orchestral sound, and the September air after sundown is about as good as Albuquerque gets. A ticket link exists through the city's site,...
Vagabond Grove takes the stage at Tractor Brewing's Nob Hill location, one of the more reliably good rooms on this stretch of Central for catching live music without fighting a bad sightline.

A full tablao-format flamenco show, meaning dancers, a cantaor, and a live guitarist performing together in the traditional structure, not a fusion or approximation of the form. Hotel Albuquerque's space...
Improv Theatre takes the stage at The Box for an evening of live, unscripted comedy. The Box is a small, intimate room where nothing about your reaction goes unnoticed by...
BEAUZ, the LA-based brother duo known for pushing hard techno into hypertechno territory, plays Effex, Albuquerque's longest-running LGBTQ nightclub and one of the few rooms on Central with a sound...
In The Box Annex takes improv comedy into extraterrestrial territory with A51*, a short-form show built around the alien-conspiracy premise. The Box is a genuinely intimate black-box room where the...
