Events on Central

A ticketed late-night party at Gaia's Kava Root, the kava and kratom bar that draws a crowd running the full UNM-area spectrum from grad students to night owls. The 11 p.m. start time (midnight, really, given the UTC offset) means this is firmly a second-stop situation, so pace yourself getting here. Wear a jersey or...

This is the closing session of a ten-week jazz development series led by Rodney Bowe and Dimi DiSanti, two musicians who have put in serious time on the Albuquerque scene. Outpost is one of the few rooms in the city where a working jazz education program like this can breathe, with good acoustics and an...

César Bauvallet runs a Monday night Latin music class at Outpost through the summer, a recurring series for people who want to actually learn something rather than just watch. Outpost is one of the few listening-room-quality spaces on the corridor that also hosts working musicians as teachers, so the instruction tends to land differently than...

A benefit concert rooted in tribal energy advocacy, with Tia Wood, The Bearhead Sisters, Destroy Kasmin, and DJ Young Native bringing range to a lineup that moves between acoustic weight...

The Inglewood rapper Fenix Flexin, formerly of Shoreline Mafia, brings his solo catalog to the Sunshine Theater on Central. The Sunshine holds around 800 and has a floor that gets...

The Queers have been playing fast, funny, three-chord pop-punk since the mid-80s and they still mean it, which is more than you can say for most acts with that kind of tenure. Launchpad is a narrow room and the stage sits low, so this will be loud and close in the way that either delights...

Kanoa Kaluhiwa leads this all-ages weekly class at Outpost Performance Space, running every Tuesday through August 26 under the title Open Source. Outpost is one of the more thoughtfully run...

This is a multi-week adult band class taught by Kanoa Kaluhiwa, wrapping up with what is presumably a final session on August 26 at Outpost. Outpost runs these classes with...
