An open hip-hop cypher hosted by Taylor Cheek at Gaia's Kava Root, one of the more low-key and genuinely welcoming spots on Central. Kava bars run a different energy than alcohol venues, which tends to keep the room focused on the music rather than the noise around it. If you've been sitting on sixteen bars,...
John Maestas brings his Juan Tigre project to Outpost for the 20th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival, a milestone run for what has become one of the state's most important...
The Box brings improv comedy to its intimate black-box space on Central, where the room holds maybe 60 people and the performers can see every wince and laugh.

The Box seats intimately and the room puts you close enough to the performers that the awkward pauses land differently than they do in a big house. Tickets are...
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...
