• JMSN Live on Route 66 at Sister the Bar Downtown

    Downtownsoul/R&BTickets

    JMSN, the Detroit-bred R&B singer and self-producing one-man operation, brings his late-night, heavily atmospheric sound to Sister the Bar. The room runs small and close, which suits his music better than a theater would. Lensic 360 presenting means the production attention is a step above a typical bar booking.

  • Throwback Hip-Hop R&B Disco Night

    UNM Areahip-hopDetails

    A DJ night built around the songs that still hit, pulling from hip-hop, R&B, and disco without committing to any single decade too hard. Gaia's Kava Root is a kava bar, so the crowd tends to be loose and social without the aggressive bar-scene energy you'd find a few blocks in either direction. The listing...

    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    The One Night Stanleys bring long-form improv to The Box, one of the few dedicated performance spaces on the corridor that actually treats comedy as a craft rather than a bar filler. The Box runs a tight ship technically, so expect decent sound and sight lines for a room this size. A ticket link exists,...

    A seated, one-hour flamenco performance inside Hotel Albuquerque's Tablao, with dancers, a singer, and a guitarist performing together in a format rooted in the traditional Spanish club setting.
