• Sam Vigil & LOADED Live at Old Town Gazebo

    Old Town Gazebo

    Sam Vigil and his band LOADED take the Old Town Gazebo stage for a Sunday afternoon set the day after the Fourth, when the crowds have thinned and the energy tends to go loose and easy. The gazebo is an open-air structure in the plaza, so sound carries unpredictably depending on where you plant yourself,...

  • Swing Magique Live at Sawmill Market

    Sawmill Market

    Swing Magique brings their hot jazz and gypsy swing to the Sawmill Market food hall on a Sunday afternoon, which is about as good a pairing as this stretch of Central gets. The market's open layout means sound bleeds across vendors and seating areas, so you can catch most of the set while grabbing food...

  • Angels Over Demons Live at Skidmore’s Holiday Bowl

    Skidmores Holiday Bowl

    Angels Over Demons takes the stage at Skidmore's Holiday Bowl, a bowling alley venue that has been hosting live music long enough that the combination no longer feels strange. The room has its own particular energy, pins in the background and all, and that low-key weirdness tends to loosen up a crowd in ways a...

  • Mike Moxie & the Easy Sinners at Canteen Brewhouse

    Canteen Brewhouse

    Mike Moxie and the Easy Sinners bring their greasy, road-worn Americana to Canteen Brewhouse, with Jim Deveney opening the afternoon. Canteen is off the Central corridor, but it's a brewery with a proper outdoor setup that handles a Sunday crowd better than most rooms twice its size. Admission details hadn't been posted at time of...

  • FFTY Band Live at Casa Vieja in Corrales, NM

    Casa Vieja - Corrales

    FFTY Band takes the outdoor stage at Casa Vieja in Corrales for a three-hour afternoon set the day after the Fourth. Casa Vieja's courtyard setting in the village of Corrales runs quieter and shadier than most patio venues in the metro, which makes a July Sunday at 4 p.m. considerably more bearable than it sounds....

  • Weatherman Said Live at Effingbar & Grill

    Effingbar & Grill

    Weatherman Said takes the Effingbar & Grill stage for a Sunday early-evening set, wrapping up by 8 p.m. and leaving the rest of your night open. The bar has a casual neighborhood crowd that tends to actually listen, which is not a guarantee at every grill-and-beer room in this city. Admission details are not posted...

  • Brandon Post Live at Hops & Dough Taproom

    Hops & Dough Taproom

    Brandon Post brings a live set to Hops & Dough Taproom on a Sunday evening in early July, the kind of low-key post-holiday slot that tends to draw a relaxed, genuinely attentive crowd rather than a rowdy one. Hops & Dough is off the Central corridor, so build in a few extra minutes if you're...

  • Voz Norteña Live at Isleta Resort

    Isleta Casino & Resort

    Voz Norteña brings their norteño set to the Triple Sevens Saloon inside Isleta Resort, a casino lounge that runs late and keeps the drinks moving. The room skews toward regulars who know what they came for, so the crowd energy tends to be genuine rather than performative. This one is off the corridor and south...

  • World Cup Round of 16 Watch Party in Nob Hill

    Historic Lobo Theater

    Two Round of 16 matches on July 6, with the marquee game on the theater's full main screen and every other feed running across 15 screens including a four-screen video...

  • Boss Hogg Live at Dragon Horn Tavern

    Dragon Horn Tavern

    Boss Hogg takes the Dragon Horn Tavern stage on a Sunday afternoon in early July, which puts this squarely in post-holiday, low-pressure territory if the Fourth left you wanting more but not harder. Dragon Horn runs metro, off Central, so build in a few extra minutes if you're coming from the corridor. Admission details weren't...
