Tonight on the corridor

The One Night Stanleys bring long-form improv to The Box, one of the few dedicated performance spaces left on the corridor that actually treats comedy as a discipline rather than a bar afterthought. Long-form means full narrative arcs instead of quick-hit games, so the laughs land differently when a scene has had twenty minutes to...
A one-hour tablao-format flamenco show with live guitar, cante, and baile performed in the intimate setting inside Hotel Albuquerque, right on Central. The specific artists are still TBD at time of listing, so the caliber of the performance is genuinely unknown, but the format itself is the real draw: close quarters, no amplification buffer, the...
Jordan Jonas hosts a supernatural-themed evening at Painted Lady Bed & Brew, the quirky Central Avenue spot that doubles as an actual inn, as part of their recurring Brews & Boos series. That bed-and-brew setup means the crowd often includes out-of-towners who wandered downstairs, which gives these nights a looser, stranger energy than your typical...
San Diego's The Frights are marking a decade of their debut album with a full tour stop at the Sunshine, one of the few rooms on Central that can actually hold a crowd this size without losing the energy. The self-deprecating tour name is a bit. The band is not: ten years in, they play...
Triple-A Pacific Coast League ball at one of the better mid-size stadiums in the country, where the Isotopes host Salt Lake on a Tuesday night. Isotopes Park sits right on Central, which means you can walk to a postgame beer without moving your car. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 PM local, so the mountain...
Roberto and Paoli Rodriguez dig into the Afro-Cuban jazz tradition as a tribute to Miles Davis at the 100-year mark, performing as part of the 20th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival at Outpost. Outpost is a listening room in the truest sense: the sightlines are good, the crowd pays attention, and the acoustics reward it....
Cambridge psych-doom outfit Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats headlines the Sunshine Theater with Italian doom trio Messa opening, a double bill that earns its weight in riffs. The Sunshine's standing floor suits this kind of music well, the sound hits harder when there's nowhere to sit and nothing to do but absorb it. Tickets are...
San Francisco's Hot Flash Heat Wave brings their hazy, sun-warped indie pop to Launchpad, with local and regional support from Small Crush and High rounding out the bill. Launchpad's sound system punches well above what the room size would suggest, so the dreamy, layered textures this band trades in actually land the way they're supposed...
The Isotopes close out a mid-September home stand against the Salt Lake Bees, a Triple-A affiliate rivalry with enough history to make the crowd care even on a Tuesday night....
Fred Hersch is one of the most technically accomplished and emotionally honest pianists in jazz right now, and this trio format is where he does his clearest thinking. Outpost is a listening room in the truest sense, small enough that you'll hear him breathe, with an audience that tends to match that level of attention....
