Dymer takes the stage at Marble's downtown taproom on a Saturday night, which means the patio crowd will be loud and the bar will be moving fast before the first note lands. The indoor-outdoor layout here tends to split the room early in the set, so getting close to the stage before 9 means you're...
The Bronze Medal Match goes up on the Lobo's theater big screen and across all 15 screens in the Sports Lounge, including the four-screen video wall, the same weekend the...
The city closes Central from Girard to Washington and hands the street back to the people who actually use it. Four stages of live music across one mile of Nob Hill, each one working a different decade of the Mother Road. The Docksiders close the main stage at 8:30 with yacht rock played straight, and...
Two acts, two very different energies: the Albuquerque Jazz Orchestra brings big-band weight, and Milton Villarubia's Los CieneGatos Brass Band tends to push things in a warmer, New Orleans-inflected direction. Outpost is a listening room, not a bar, so the crowd actually pays attention and the sound is mixed accordingly. Tickets are through Hold My...
The Isotopes host Sacramento for a Saturday night Triple-A game at one of the best mid-sized ballparks in the country, a place where the Sandia Mountains do genuine work as...
Calle 66 brings live salsa to Marble's downtown taproom on a Saturday night, which means the patio fills up fast and the indoor bar stays loud. Marble's floor plan isn't purpose-built for dancing, but people make it work near the stage, and the sound carries well enough outside that the patio crowd gets the show...
LoPhat takes the Old Town Gazebo on a Sunday evening, which puts live music in one of the oldest public squares in the country. The gazebo setting means sound carries in every direction and the crowd tends to form organically around the perimeter, so there is no bad spot. Admission details are unconfirmed, but Old...
Black swimwear and sunscreen jokes aside, this is a proper late-night goth event at El Rey, one of the corridor's most reliable rooms for dark and alternative programming. El Rey's interior already has a certain theatricality to it, so the beach-meets-goth concept lands better here than it would in a generic club. Doors are late...
Dawn Hotel takes the Thirsty Eye stage on a Saturday evening, giving you two hours of live music inside one of the more reliably good-sounding taprooms on the Central corridor. Thirsty Eye keeps its room volume at a level where you can still hold a conversation without lip-reading, which either appeals to you or tells...
Red Canyon Road brings their set to Tractor's Wells Park patio, one of the more reliably comfortable outdoor stages on this stretch of Central on a July evening. The crowd here tends to be neighborhood regulars plus whoever wandered over from the taproom, which keeps the energy grounded rather than performative. Admission isn't confirmed yet,...
