A horror-themed stand-up hour in the taproom of Painted Lady Bed & Brew, the only brewpub on the corridor where guests are literally sleeping upstairs during the show. One hour is a tight window for comedy, so expect a fast-moving set with little room for the slow-burn crowd work that needs a bigger stage and...
The Django Festival Allstars bring their hot jazz and gypsy swing tradition to Outpost Performance Space, one of the better-programmed rooms on the Central corridor, as part of the 20th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival. Outpost keeps sight lines good and sound dialed in, so this style of acoustic string-driven jazz lands the way it...
Three heavyweights of postwar blues harmonica and guitar share a stage for a CD release night at FUSION | 708, which puts this closer to a recording-session atmosphere than a standard bar gig. Anson Funderburgh has been one of the most respected Texas blues guitarists since the early eighties, and Junior Watson's phrasing is the...
Four local acts share the Launchpad stage on a Thursday that runs well past midnight, with Vox Femme, Rose Signet, Carita, and Alt Saus each getting their shot at a room that rewards bands willing to push a little. Launchpad's sound system is genuinely good for a club its size, so whatever these acts have...
The surviving Wailers are marking the 50th anniversary of Rastaman Vibration with a tour that pulls from that album alongside the catalog standards that made Bob Marley a household name on every continent. The Albuquerque Journal Theatre is an intimate room for a band of this legacy, which works in your favor, and the tiered...
Pawn Drive takes the stage at Thirsty Eye Brewing Company, a Route 66 corridor taproom that keeps its live music calendar busy on weekend nights. The room is compact and...
New Mexico United takes on Indy Eleven in a USL Championship regular season match at Isotopes Park, one of the better soccer atmospheres in the American lower divisions. The supporter sections here are loud and organized enough to genuinely affect the game, so sitting near the south end puts you in the middle of something...
St. Range takes the outdoor stage at Marble's Downtown taproom, one of the more reliably good rooms on the corridor for catching a live set with a cold beer in hand. The open-air layout means sound carries differently than an indoor club, so arriving early gets you a spot where the mix actually lands. A...
A seated dinner show built around live flamenco, with dancers, a singer, and a guitarist performing in the tablao format that originated in mid-20th-century Spanish clubs. Hotel Albuquerque's sala is a genuinely intimate room for this kind of thing, close enough that you'll feel the footwork in your chest. Performers are still TBA, so check...
This is a traditional tablao format, which means flamenco as a close-quarters performance art rather than a stage spectacle, with dancers, a singer, and a guitarist working in the kind of tight conversation that only happens when the audience is ten feet away. Hotel Albuquerque's tablao room is one of the few dedicated flamenco spaces...
