    A tablao-format flamenco show with live guitar, cante, and baile performed over a Friday dinner service at Hotel Albuquerque, one of the few venues on the corridor doing this with any regularity.

    world musicTickets

    Friday night flamenco at Hotel Albuquerque puts live bailaores, a cantaora, and a guitarrista in one of the few dedicated tablao settings in the Southwest.

    DowntownindieTickets

    Built To Spill, the Boise outfit that helped define what overdriven, melodically obsessive indie rock could be in the '90s, plays El Rey with local singer-songwriter Paul Schalda opening.
