Three bailaoras, a cantaor, and a guitarist perform a full tablao program in the intimate theater space inside Hotel Albuquerque, one of the few dedicated flamenco venues operating anywhere on the Route 66 corridor. The room is small enough that you'll feel the footwork in your chest, so closer seats are genuinely better here, not...
Three Kings, one stage: Enchantment Blues & Guitars works through the distinct vocabularies of Freddie King, Albert King, and B.B. King in a single outdoor set at the Museum's long-running...
Steve Earle strips it down to voice and guitar for a career-spanning set billed as 51 Years of Songs & Stories, which at this point in his life means you're as likely to hear him talk as sing, and the talking is half the reason to go. The KiMo's 700-seat art deco room is genuinely...
Survival icon Jordan Jonas, who won Season 6 of Alone living off the Mongolian steppe, steps into something stranger here: a one-hour "Haunting Magick" show folded into Painted Lady's ongoing Brews & Boos series. The room at Painted Lady runs small and the series draws regulars who take this stuff seriously, so expect close quarters...
Improv Theatre brings its Blue Show to The Box, an hour of unscripted comedy built entirely in the moment by a cast that has been doing this long enough to make the hard stuff look casual. The Box is a small, focused room where the audience is close enough to the performers that your reactions...
The performers take audience suggestions and build an entire Shakespearean play on the spot, iambic pentameter and all. The Box is a small black-box room where the audience sits close enough to watch the improvisers' faces when a scene goes sideways, which is half the pleasure. At 45 minutes, it's a tight enough window that...
Hosted by Kopidion, this mod '60s variety show plays in The Box's black-box format, which tends to collapse the distance between performers and audience in ways that bigger stages simply can't. The one-hour runtime is tight by variety-show standards, so expect something punchy rather than sprawling. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, and given the...
Triple-A ball under the Sandia sunset, with the Isotopes taking on Sugar Land in what is reliably one of the better mid-summer crowds of the home schedule. Isotopes Park sits right on Central, and the upper deck on the third-base side catches the last of the light in a way that makes the $15 ticket...
Sandia Performing Arts Company brings Ay, Compadre! to South Broadway Cultural Center, one of the corridor's most underused but genuinely capable performance spaces. The city-run venue keeps ticket prices accessible, and the room is intimate enough that there isn't a bad seat in the house. Check the CABQ events page for admission details, since the...
Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque runs weekly Sunday matinees in a dedicated tablao space inside Hotel Albuquerque, one of the few venues in the state presenting this art form in a proper...
