Tonight on the corridor
Long-form improv at The Box means no sketch templates, no safety net, just a troupe building something from nothing in real time over a sustained run. The Box keeps its house tight, so you'll be close enough to see the performers' faces when a scene goes somewhere nobody planned. A ticket link exists, so grab...
This is a proper afterparty, kicking off at 8:30 a.m. and running until 11, so read that correctly: the night rolls straight into morning after CrankDat wraps. Luna Kava Root is a kava bar, not a liquor bar, which actually makes a late-night-turned-early-morning crowd more functional than you might expect. Tickets are through Hold My...
Waylon Bailey brings his guitar to Marble's Downtown taproom, one of the more reliably good live music setups on the Central corridor. The courtyard here stays loud with ambient crowd noise on a Saturday night, so this works better as a social listen than a sit-down-and-absorb situation. Check the ticket link for cover details before...
Albuquerque's own ABBA tribute act takes the Marble Downtown stage, which means you're getting "Dancing Queen" with a cold lager in hand and the Sandia Mountains going pink in the background if the timing works out. The outdoor patio here fills fast for anything with a singalong factor this high, so arriving early is less...
New Mexico United brings USL Championship soccer to the stadium that sits right on the Central Avenue corridor, this time against FC Tulsa in what the standings will likely make...
A seated dinner show pairing live flamenco, guitar, and cante jondo in the Old Town anchor hotel that has hosted this residency long enough to get the format right. The room is intimate enough that you will feel the footwork in your chest, which is either the whole point or a dealbreaker depending on your...
Three dancers, a guitarist, and a cantaor perform a full tablao-format flamenco show in one of the more architecturally appropriate rooms on the corridor. Hotel Albuquerque's space puts you close enough to hear the footwork, which is the whole point, so seats toward the middle of the floor tend to hit differently than the edges....
Five Albuquerque acts share a bill built around Green Day's catalog, with Alter Apex, Right On Kid, Dazeyrot, November Radio, and Shyguy each taking a turn. Launchpad's room rewards this kind of show, small enough that the energy compounds rather than dissipates, and the stage sight lines are good from basically anywhere. With five bands...
Five women share the stage for a blues night that is part of the Albuquerque Museum's 35th annual Music Under the Stars series, with Joanie Cere pulling the program together. The outdoor museum courtyard on a summer Saturday evening is one of the better concert settings on the corridor, though seating fills fast and the...
Improv Theatre brings a live, unscripted comedy show to The Box, a small black-box room on Central that rewards audiences willing to be in the room rather than watching from a distance. The Box runs intimate, so there is no bad seat, but there is also nowhere to hide if a performer pulls you in....
