    LOADED brings a rock covers set to Tractor's Wells Park taproom, one of the more reliably good outdoor-to-indoor live music setups on the corridor. The Wells Park location runs a little grittier and more neighborhood-local than Tractor's other spots, which tends to make for a crowd that's actually there to listen. Admission isn't confirmed yet,...

    arts & cultureTickets

    Three bailaoras, a cantaor, and a guitarist perform live flamenco during dinner service at the tablao inside Hotel Albuquerque, one of the few purpose-built flamenco venues on the corridor.
