Events on Central

The Isotopes, Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, take on the Round Rock Express (Rangers affiliate) under the lights at one of the better mid-level ballparks in the country. Isotopes...

Three bailaores, a cantaor, and a guitarrista perform a full tablao-format flamenco show in the intimate venue inside Hotel Albuquerque, one of the few places in the country running this kind of structured, ensemble flamenco regularly. Noelle Encinias is a name that carries real weight in New Mexico flamenco circles, and seeing her share the...

Keeping Up with the Joneses takes the stage at The Hall for a late set that runs to 3 a.m. on a Sunday morning. The Hall sits right on the corridor and tends to reward people who stay past midnight, when the room loosens up and the sound gets dialed in. Grab tickets through 505...

Four local and regional heavy acts share the Launchpad stage in a late-night bill that skews hard, with The Tewa headlining above a mix of styles that ranges from hardcore to something closer to metal. Launchpad's room is narrow and loud, which works in everyone's favor here since the sound hits you before you even...

Arkansas songwriter Adam Faucett brings his raw, worn-in folk-blues to a triple bill at the Moonlight Lounge, with local acts William Blackart and Chip Begay opening.

Launchpad keeps the stage low and the monitors loud, which means you feel the set more than you watch it from a distance. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so...

Darren Cordova y Calor brings New Mexico's red-chile strain of conjunto and old-school country to the Botanic Garden's outdoor summer series, timed to the Route 66 Centennial. The garden setting means you're watching under cottonwoods with the Rio Grande bosque a short walk away, which does something to a horn section that a club stage...
