Emerge from the Pandemic with live music at a beautiful outdoor performance space at Casa Flamenca! The space can hold around 160 people at full capacity. We are currently selling 120 (75% capacity, as per current health orders).  This is a great way to get used to going out again with a killer lineup of many of Albuquerque's best artists. Come out and support local music and check out this amazing new community space. Casa Flamenca created this space in the fall while dealing with the devastating impact of the pandemic on their business. A portion of the proceeds from each show will go to help them pay for the cost of building this space (around $10K, so a substantial investment!). If you would like to make additional donations to support them, you'll have an opportunity to do that when you buy your tickets.

SEATING: We have enough seating to accommodate everyone!

PARKING: There is plenty of street parking, but you are also welcome to park at Monica's El Portal across the street. Big thanks to Monica for letting us use their lot after hours!

CONCESSIONS: We have drinks (water, soda, sparkling water), chips & cookies and sometimes light snacks and homemade goodies.

Masks are not required if vaccinated.  They are encouraged for lining up, checking in and entry.  Most people are not wearing masks for the majority of the evening outside.

"We came together in 2018 to play a show with a few friends and unexpectedly grew into an exciting, long-term commitment. Our songs are an eclectic stack of dark, absurd, silly, and even sometimes serious stuff. We have a lot of songs about dying. We've got some drinkin' songs. We've even got an anthem for gay cowboys.

"Our 2019 debut album, Heaven, sparked a wave of media appearances and captured international attention with industry leaders such as Eric Alper and Movimento Country. We were subsequently named Modern Musician's 2019 Gold Artist of the Year and had just solidified our first major tour plans when the pandemic drew touring to a halt. 

"Now in 2021, we are embarking on the next exciting chapter of our independent music-making journey, including the release of our second independent record this summer and a tour this fall."
