• Tablao Flamenco Friday Dinner Show

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    date nightTickets

    This is a seated dinner-format flamenco show in a room that was built for exactly this kind of performance, with a stage close enough that you feel the foot percussion in your chest. Performers are TBA at time of listing, which is typical for tablao-style productions that pull from a rotating roster of working artists...

  • Tablao Flamenco Friday Show

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    latinTickets

    Three dancers, a singer, and a guitarist perform traditional tablao flamenco in one of the few dedicated flamenco formats on the corridor. Hotel Albuquerque's performance space keeps the room small enough that you feel the footwork through the floor, which is the whole point. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so buy ahead rather than...

  • Spanish Harlem Orchestra at Old Town

    Albuquerque Museum
    Old Townlive musicTickets

    The Spanish Harlem Orchestra, a Grammy-winning nine-piece salsa dura outfit from New York, brings the kind of hard-bop Latin brass that doesn't get softened for festival crowds. The museum's outdoor amphitheater sits at the edge of Old Town and carries sound well on a late-August night, but the grassy slope fills early and latecomers end...

  • Ron Crowder Album Release Show

    FUSION | 708
    Downtownlive musicTickets

    Ron Crowder brings his new album, Moving at the Speed of Life, to FUSION 708 for a proper release show on Central. FUSION 708 is a small room, which means...

  • Live Improv Comedy at The Box

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    Two improvisers (or a full ensemble, depending on the night) build scenes from nothing in real time at one of the corridor's few dedicated performance spaces. The Box is a proper black-box theater, which means sight lines are good and the room is small enough that a bad show has nowhere to hide and a...

  • Shauna Dean Cokeland + No Manners at Launchpad Downtown

    Launchpad
    Downtownlive musicTickets

    Three local acts share the Launchpad stage on a Friday night, with Shauna Dean Cokeland headlining above No Manners and Junkyard Butterfly. Launchpad's sound system punches harder than the room's size suggests, and the stage sightlines are good from almost anywhere on the floor. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab them before the...

  • Haylee Wood at Effex Nightclub

    Effex
    DowntownLate NightTickets

    Mr. AfterHours Presents brings WHF 360° to Effex with Haylee Wood headlining and XBLYSSID in the special guest slot, which typically means the room doesn't find its footing until well past midnight. Effex runs late and loud by design, so if you're coming for the headline set, don't bother showing up at door time. Tickets...

  • Late-Night Improv Comedy

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    Long-form improv from the Improv Theatre company at The Box, starting well after midnight on a Saturday, which tells you exactly what kind of crowd you'll find. The Box is a proper black box theater, so even a small audience feels like it was planned that way, and the format rewards staying attentive rather than...

    Rio Bravo Brewing
    live musicTickets

    The instructors at Rock 101 Music Academy step out from behind the lesson plans and play a full night of live music at Rio Bravo Brewing. These are working musicians who teach because they love it, not because they couldn't hack it, so expect a higher floor than your average local showcase. Tickets are through...
