    Martin y Moso brings their act to Town & Ranch, one of the more reliably intimate stops on the Central corridor for live music. The ticket link is live through 505 Live Music, which suggests this is a proper ticketed show rather than a walk-in situation, so buying ahead is the smarter move. Details on...

    Jason Bowers takes the stage at Tractor Brewing's Nob Hill location, one of the more reliable spots on the Central corridor for catching a live set with a decent pint in hand. The ticket link is live through 505 Live Music, but admission details haven't been confirmed yet, so check before you show up assuming...

  • International Thursday’s at Bourbon & Boots

    Anodyne
    Downtownworld musicDetails

    Bourbon & Boots runs this recurring late-night set on Thursday, pulling from global sounds in a bar that leans country by day. The room shifts considerably after midnight, so arriving early means a quieter crowd and more floor space than you'll have by 1 a.m. A ticket link exists through Posh, though whether that means...

  • The Silver Vigilantes Live at Thirsty Eye

    live musicDetails

    The Silver Vigilantes take the tap room stage at Thirsty Eye late on a Friday night, which tells you something about the energy level you should expect. Thirsty Eye keeps the room small and the beer local, so this is the kind of show where you end up three feet from the band whether you...

  • Hot Girl Summer at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    Downtownbar sceneTickets

    Five local acts share the Launchpad stage for a night built around the kind of sweaty, unapologetic summer energy the name promises. Launchpad runs late and the crowd tends to arrive late too, so the early slots on a bill like this are where you catch something before everyone else figures it out. Tickets are...

  • 505 Junglist Drum & Bass Night

    Downtownbar sceneTickets

    505 Junglist is back with a six-DJ drum and bass showcase, putting Syndicrypt, Halfblud, MS Vicious, DNDY, MYDNYTE, and Jayzo G on the same bill at Insideout. This is Albuquerque's most consistent jungle and DnB crew doing what they do on home turf, and the room at Insideout is small enough that the bass actually...

  • Alex Maryol Live at Marble Brewery Downtown

    Downtownbar sceneDetails

    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...

  • Beer & Jazz on the Hill

    Bosque Brewing Nob Hill
    Nob HilljazzDetails

    Two distinct Albuquerque jazz acts on one bill: EQNX Jazztet opens at 5pm and Basilaris Trio closes things out at 8pm, which makes this an early evening rather than a late-night affair despite how it reads on the calendar. Tractor's Nob Hill patio is one of the better outdoor listening spots on this stretch of...

  • J-Guys Blues Band Live on Route 66 at Thirsty Eye

    Thirsty Eye Brewing Company
    bluesDetails

    The J-Guys Blues Band brings a working-band approach to blues at Thirsty Eye, a brewery that has quietly become one of the more reliable spots for live music on the corridor. The room is small enough that a tight blues outfit actually fills it without a PA doing all the heavy lifting. Admission details weren't...

  • Carma 3-Year Anniversary Party Downtown

    El Rey Theater
    Downtownbar sceneTickets

    Carma, one of the more quietly consistent electronic promoters working Albuquerque's late-night circuit, throws its third anniversary with a four-act lineup that spans Burn the Disco, Thot Daughter, Wyatt Lawson, and Mattice. Insideout runs small and close, which means the sound hits harder than you'd expect and personal space is a negotiation. This one starts...
