  • Tablao Flamenco Sunday Matinee

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    world musicTickets

    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...

  • Supernatural Sundays with Jordan Jonas

    Painted Lady Bed & Brew
    Wells Parkarts & cultureTickets

    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...

  • Garden Party with Three Deuce Luce

    Inside Out
    Downtownlive musicTickets

    Three Deuce Luce brings their set to Insideout's outdoor garden space for a late-summer party on Central. Insideout's courtyard punches above its square footage, so arrive with time to settle in before the music takes hold. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so sort that out in advance rather than gambling on the door.

  • The Frights at Sunshine Theater

    Sunshine Theatre
    DowntownindieTickets

    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...

  • Hotline TNT at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    DowntownindieTickets

    Hotline TNT brings their brand of loud, distortion-heavy guitar pop to Launchpad, one of the few rooms on Central that genuinely suits this kind of show. The stage-to-floor ratio here...

  • Isotopes vs. Salt Lake Bees at Route 66’s UNM Area Park

    Isotopes Park
    UNM Areafamily-friendlyTickets

    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...

  • Cola & Artificial Go Live

    Sister Bar
    DowntownindieDetails

    Cola, the Toronto post-punk outfit that rose from the wreckage of Ought, brings their tightly coiled, conversational guitar work to Sister with Artificial Go opening. Sister runs small and close, which suits Cola's music better than a bigger room would. Tickets are through 505 Live Music, and this one will sell before the week of...

  • Rodriguez Brothers Afro-Cuban Jazz

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreajazzTickets

    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....

  • Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats at Sunshine Theater

    Sunshine Theatre
    DowntownmetalTickets

    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...
