AMP Concerts - Santa Fe Series

Santa Fe Music Series

While AMP is dedicated to bringing great music to Albuquerque, we do sometimes succumb to the charms of heading north to Santa Fe, especially in the summer. Cooler weather and beautiful outdoor venues makes for a lovely day trip. We'll be working on a series of shows with Fan Man Productions, who have been helping us bring some great acts to Albuquerque, as well as doing occasional shows on our own.

Two of our favorite venues are the Santa Fe Brewing Company and Paolo Soleri. The Brewing Company is on the south edge of Sante Fe. Take the Cerillos exit, head south, and look for their big sign on the right. Without having to head into Santa Fe proper, it takes only 40 minutes to get there from Albuquerque. They've got their own microbrews and a decent bar menu. Unless otherwise noted, these shows are all ages and outdoors on the huge patio. All shows start early too! Click for ticket outlets.

Be sure to check our main page for a list of great shows happening in Albuquerque!

Tickets for most shows are available in Albuquerque (cash only plus $2 surcharge) at:

4022 Rio Grande Blvd. NW, 344-8139
Natural Sound, 3422 Central Ave. SE, 255-8295

Tickets are also usually available through the Lensic Box Office (505-988-1234) and TicketsSantaFe.org.

Solas
Friday, May 7
Santa Fe Brewing Company
37 Fire Place
(Just Off NM Highway 14)

Since its birth in 1996, Solas has been loudly proclaimed as the most popular, influential, and exciting Celtic band to ever emerge from the United States. The Philadelphia Inquirer said they make "mind-blowing Irish folk music, maybe the world’s best." The New York Times praised their "unbridled vitality," the Washington Post dubbed them one of the "world's finest Celtic-folk ensembles" and the Austin American-Statesman called them "the standard by which contemporary Celtic groups are judged." Their latest release is a live CD and DVD called Reunion, which celebrates the band's tenth anniversary.
