Thirteen years in, this festival has earned its place on the calendar, bringing blues and guitar-focused performance to one of the most architecturally loaded rooms on Central. The KiMo's Pueblo Deco interior does something to live music that a black-box venue simply cannot, and blues in particular seems to settle into those walls well. Admission...
Cali Shaw brings her singer-songwriter work to Marble's downtown taproom on a Saturday night, which means the room will already have some momentum by the time she takes the stage at 9. Marble Downtown runs warmer and louder than the taproom on Marble Ave, so this is less of a listening-room situation and more of...
Nathan Fox brings his set to the Marble Westside taproom, one of the more comfortable standing-room spots on the corridor for a Sunday night show. The brewery format keeps things casual, which tends to loosen up both the crowd and the performer in ways a dedicated music venue sometimes doesn't. Admission details aren't posted yet,...
The Isotopes host Las Vegas in a Pacific Coast League matchup at one of the better mid-level ballparks in the country, a place where the sight lines are genuinely good from almost every seat. The mountain view beyond the outfield wall is the kind of thing you forget to mention to out-of-towners and then watch...
Adam Hooks takes the stage at Tractor Brewing's Westside location, the taproom that has quietly become one of the more reliable spots for local and regional singer-songwriters on the Central corridor. The room is small enough that there is no bad seat, and Tractor's house sound tends to be dialed in better than you'd expect...
Tori Amos brings her piano-centered performance to Popejoy Hall, one of the few rooms in Albuquerque with acoustics that actually reward that kind of intimacy. Popejoy is a proper concert hall, assigned seating, no bar rail to lean on, which suits her catalog better than a club would anyway. Tickets through Ticketmaster, and this one...
The Schmoobies are a teen improv troupe performing under the In The Box Annex program, which is The Box's youth development arm rather than its main stage. Shows like this tend to run short and loose, which is either charming or chaotic depending on the night, and usually both. If you have a kid in...
Red Light Cameras take the stage at Marble's downtown taproom, one of the more reliable mid-size rooms on the Central corridor for catching local and regional acts in an environment where the beer is good and the sound system is actually maintained. The outdoor patio fills fast on August nights when the heat finally breaks,...
Poltergeist (1982) gets the bingo treatment at Painted Lady's Brews & Boos series, which means you are watching a genuinely unsettling film while also trying to mark off your card, and somehow that tension works. The Painted Lady keeps the room small and the beer list local, so this reads more like a friend's basement...
DBGomez and The Bosque Boys bring their roots-and-rhythm sound to Thirsty Eye Brewing Company, one of the more relaxed live music rooms on the corridor. The taproom format keeps things close and unhurried, so if you're used to bigger stages, the intimacy here is a genuine adjustment that tends to work in the band's favor....
