    This is a 45-minute long-form improv set running late on a Friday night, produced jointly by The Box and Improv Theatre. The Box is a small black-box room where the audience is close enough to make eye contact with performers, which either thrills you or makes you want to sit in the back row. Tickets...

    Old Townlive musicDetails

    Trio Carillo takes the Old Town Gazebo stage for an open-air evening set in one of Albuquerque's most recognizable outdoor spaces. The gazebo's plaza acoustics are naturally lively, so arrive early if you want a spot close enough to hear the detail in the playing rather than just the wash of it. Admission details aren't...

  • Alex Maryol Live at Marble Brewery Downtown

    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...

  • Isotopes vs. Round Rock Express

    Isotopes Park
    UNM Areafamily friendlyTickets

    Triple-A Pacific Coast League ball between the Isotopes and the Round Rock Express, a Texas League rival with a roster that tends to cycle interesting prospects through. Isotopes Park sits right on Central and has one of the better sightlines in minor league baseball, plus the altitude here does things to fly balls that never...

  • Songs That Save Our Lives: Live Music

    Keshet Center for the Arts
    arts & cultureTickets

    Three acts, Of Grief & Dreams, Metamorfos, and Mirror Bridge, share original music alongside personal stories in a format built around meaning rather than performance. Keshet is primarily a dance studio, which means the room is intimate, acoustically warm, and closer to the performers than most dedicated music venues ever get. Tickets are through HoldMyTicket,...

  • Creepy Craft Night

    Painted Lady Bed & Brew
    Wells ParkcraftyTickets

    This is a hands-on wreath-making event where you pick a side, nerdy or creepy, and build something seasonal with guidance from OtherworldlyCreationsABQ. Painted Lady runs a tight Brews and Boos series and this crowd tends to be genuinely crafty rather than just there for the theme, so expect actual focus alongside the beer. Check the...

  • Spanish Broom Flamenco at Marble Downtown

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    Downtownlive musicDetails

    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...
