Mary Gauthier is one of the more unsparing songwriters working in American roots music, the kind who writes about addiction, incarceration, and grief with enough craft that the songs feel like relief rather than punishment. FUSION | 708 is a small room on Central, which means you are close enough to watch her face, and...
Starcrawler brings their Los Angeles glam-punk theatrics to Launchpad, with Albuquerque's own Sluttony opening a bill that should get loud fast. Launchpad's low ceiling and close stage make Arrow de Wilde's frontperson energy hit differently than it does in larger rooms. Grab tickets in advance through Hold My Ticket since this one has the profile...
Norma Jean and Upon A Burning Body are splitting co-headline duties on the Southern Domination Tour, with Fox Lake and Music Is The Enemy opening a bill that runs heavy and loud from the first set. Sunshine Theater holds around 800 and the floor gets genuinely packed for metal shows, so arriving early matters if...
Three local acts stacked on a Friday night at Launchpad, one of the few rooms on Central that still books original music with any consistency. The stage is low and the floor gets close fast, so this is the kind of show where you end up knowing whether the headliner has it or not within...
Catalogue brings their set to Marble Brewery's Downtown taproom, one of the more reliably good live-music rooms on this stretch of Central. The outdoor patio here runs sound better than you'd expect for a brewery show, and the crowd tends to stick around rather than treating the band as background noise. Admission details weren't listed,...
The Rhythm Room opens on Central with a grand opening block party headlined by J. Holiday, the R&B singer whose quiet-storm catalog from the mid-2000s still fills rooms that know their music. Grand openings on this stretch of Central have a habit of running long on ceremony and short on performance, but Reloaded Talent booking...
Alex Maryol is one of those New Mexico guitar players who has been at this long enough that the blues he plays feels lived-in rather than performed. Marble's downtown patio carries sound well on summer nights, but the indoor bar fills up fast once the set starts, so arriving early gets you a better spot...
Spanish Broom brings traditional flamenco to Marble's Downtown taproom, footwork and all, in a room that usually runs toward loud conversation and pint glasses. The hard concrete floors actually carry the percussion well, so sit closer to the performance area than you think you need to. Admission details aren't confirmed yet, so check the ticket...
Four local and regional heavy acts share the Launchpad stage in a late-night bill that skews hard, with The Tewa headlining above a mix of styles that ranges from hardcore...
Arkansas songwriter Adam Faucett brings his raw, worn-in folk-blues to a triple bill at the Moonlight Lounge, with local acts William Blackart and Chip Begay opening. The Moonlight runs small...
