Three local acts share a bill at Moonlight Lounge, and the lineup has enough range to keep the room honest across a three-hour set. The Moonlight runs late and the crowd tends to arrive late too, so the openers are worth catching early if any of these names are the reason you're going. Tickets are...
CPTC Musical Camp closes out its summer session with a 45-minute youth production of the Disney stage adaptation, performed at The Box on Central. The Box is an intimate black-box space, so even seats toward the back put you close enough to see every nervous smile and triumphant moment from the kids on stage. Tickets...
Triple-A ball between the Isotopes and Sacramento's River Cats, a Giants affiliate with a rotation that tends to push prospects through quickly, so you might catch someone on their way up or on their way back. Isotopes Park sits right on Central and has some of the better sightlines of any minor league stadium in...
La Ansiedad Norteña brings norteño accordion and bajo sexto to the Old Town Gazebo, a 19th-century plaza stage that still draws multigenerational crowds on summer evenings. The gazebo's open layout...
Crazy Bird brings their set to Tractor's Wells Park taproom, one of the more reliably good-sounding smaller rooms on the corridor. The outdoor patio fills up fast on summer nights, so arriving early gets you both a seat and the cooler part of the evening. Check 505livemusic.com closer to the date for set times, since...
This is an open mic structured around real ghost stories told live, part of Painted Lady's recurring Brews & Boos series, so expect regulars who've workshopped their material and first-timers who haven't. The bed-and-brew format means the room includes overnight guests mixed in with walk-ins, which gives the whole thing an oddly intimate, slightly unplanned...
A DJ night built around Bad Bunny's catalog, from the early SoundCloud era through his stadium-pop years, held at Marble's Downtown taproom on Central. Marble's outdoor patio is one of the better places to dance in this corridor on a July night, assuming the weather cooperates, which in Albuquerque mid-summer it usually does. Admission is...
Artha Meadors brings her songwriting to Thirsty Eye Brewing Company on a Friday evening, the kind of intimate brewery set where you're close enough to hear every word. Thirsty Eye is a compact room that rewards showing up early for a seat, and the house beer is genuinely good, which helps the night along. Admission...
Three bailaoras, a cantaor, and a guitarist perform a full tablao-format flamenco dinner show inside the historic Hotel Albuquerque, one of the few venues in the country presenting this art form in its proper sit-down context. The room is intimate enough that you will feel the footwork in your chest, which is exactly the point....
