Una Mas y La Cha Cha
Sep
25

Una Mas y La Cha Cha

The members and music of Una Mas y La ChaCha reflect the diversity of Santa Fe – the Indigenous, the descendants of Spanish and Mexican families and multigenerational Anglos residents; and cumbias, boleros, flamenco, 70’s Chicano funk and eclectic covers with the band’s unique spin that they call Northern New Mexico soul music.

With a rock-solid rhythm section featuring bassist Brian Shannon, percussionists Adrian Trate and David Gomez supporting the soaring leads of guitarist and band founder D’Santi Nava, and the soulful vocals of Trate and la Cha Cha Krystle Lucero, Una Mas can deliver an intimate performance in a cozy venue that draws in the listener to rocking out before a crowd of thousands at large public events.

An Una Mas show is a night of passion and heritage that has crowds clearing out a dance space for a set of songs by Selena, listening respectfully to a hymn for Quetzalcoatl, or gazing in rapt attention as Nava, “el Brujo,” furiously works the fretboard. To hear Una Mas y la Cha Cha is to be present in a moment that weaves threads of time, genres, and peoples.

Pre-Balloon Fiesta Community Glow in Santa Fe!

¡Resplandor comunitario antes de la Fiesta de Globos, en Santa Fe!

Old Man Gloom is BACK, and this time he's glowing!

Come early and watch him rise!

¡Lleguen temprano y véanlo levantarse!

Watch the crew roll out the envelope, fill it with air, and fire the burners until Zozobra glows from the inside out, taller than a 13-story building!

PIXIES
Founding members; Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering, with bassist Emma Richardson - mark four decades of the band by announcing Pixies 40, a new headline worldwide tour.

From their earliest club shows, the band exuded a combination of chaos and control that left audiences wide-eyed. No glamour, little stage banter; just a relentless surge of sound that resonated with those in attendance. For many fans, those early gigs were less concerts than revelations, a glimpse into a new way rock music could be performed.

1987’s mini-album Come On Pilgrim (which followed the release of Demos – more commonly known to fans as “The Purple Tapes” – also re-issued in October 2025), introduced the world to their fragmented, surreal songwriting. 1988’s Surfer Rosa made critics, and underground audiences realize that Pixies were doing something that hadn’t been heard before. Recorded with raw precision, these early albums captured the explosive dynamics that their concerts already embodied. Songs jumped between whispered calm and thunderous eruptions; the same jolts audiences were feeling in dimly lit venues across the Europe and back home in their native US.

Doolittle in 1989, moved the needle. That album, packed with pop hooks twisted into strange, menacing shapes, brought Pixies onto larger stages and into the consciousness of a wider public. Their shows grew more frenetic, audiences swelling and surging in rhythm with the music, a direct reflection of the tension and release encoded in their songs.

By the early 1990s, the Pixies were in their groove. Relentless touring across North America and Europe became an essential ticket for any fans who claimed to be lovers of alternative rock. A wall of sound that was never predictable, shifting between fragility and violence in a matter of seconds. A band who needed no such spectacle or theatrics, just an intensity of sudden release. The music was the show.
Fan favourites Bossanova and Trompe le Monde followed in 1990 and 1991 respectfully, before the disbanding of the band in 1993.
Over a decade passed, but Pixies finally reformed in 2004, the response was electric. Tickets for their first shows sold out instantly, and the band quickly found themselves playing to an unprecedented crowd at Coachella festival. More touring and in rooms much larger than they ever did before.

The reunion reaffirmed the band’s reputation as a live act. If anything, their performances had grown sharper. Multiple generations of fans from different backgrounds found themselves together embracing Pixies’ genre defining sets. Those who were there in the beginning during the late 80’s and early 90’s, those who never had the chance to see the band first time around, those who were not even born during that time.
Since re-formation the band have been even more prolific, releasing more music since their reincarnation with album’s; Indie Cindy, Head Carrier, Beneath the Eyrie, Doggerel and The Night the Zombies Came begin released between 2014 and 2024. Recent years have seen the band routinely touring all four corners of the globe with their own sold-out headline shows and to festival audiences alike, while still being referenced as a major influence of contemporary alternative artists and bands.

Pixies… a band marking their 40th year together, still relevant and still innovative - there are no signs of stopping.

Taiwanese Uke Sensation: Feng E

Taiwanese Uke Sensation: Feng E

Direct from Taiwan, Feng E redefines the ukulele with a rock show of epic proportions. A prodigy from the age of four and a viral YouTube sensation by age ten, Feng E presents incredible arrangements of modern hits alongside his own remarkable compositions.

His virtuosity is apparent from the very first pluck of the strings, delivering a performance that is both technically astonishing and wildly entertaining. This is not a show you want to miss. It is unforgettable.

Born in 2007, Feng E first rose to international fame in 2018 when a video of him performing Tommy Emmanuel’s arrangement of Mason Williams’ “Classical Gas” on the ukulele in a Taipei park went viral worldwide. The performance eventually led to live appearances with Tommy Emmanuel himself in both Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Following the viral success, Feng E was invited to perform on The Ellen DeGeneres Show for a global audience. He appeared on the show twice, in 2018 and 2019, with each appearance garnering more than 2.3 million views online. In 2020, he advanced to the quarter-finals of America’s Got Talent. Today, his largest social media audience is in the United States.

Feng E has become a major star in the world of ukulele music, performing and winning competitions internationally in Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, China, and Hawaii. On Asia’s Got Talent in 2017, he was the only competitor to receive the Golden Buzzer from producer David Foster.

To date, Feng E has mastered five musical instruments, beginning with piano at the age of four, and has composed numerous original works. His popularity continues to soar through his inventive ukulele covers of popular music, earning him more than 768K YouTube subscribers and millions upon millions of views worldwide. His expert musicianship and joyful, fearless approach to performance have captured the attention and admiration of audiences and major artists across the globe.

DOER DOES CAKES - Grown Folk Behaviour

DOER DOES CAKES - Grown Folk Behaviour

Teotihuacan's sheer scale is staggering, and the fact that its true origin remains one of archaeology's greatest mysteries makes it even more compelling.

Looking directly down at the Pyramid of the Sun highlights just how massive its footprint is. Measuring roughly 220 by 230 meters (720 by 760 feet) at its base, it covers almost the same ground area as the Great Pyramid of Giza, standing 66 meters (216 feet) high.

​Key Facts Behind the Mystery

​The Unknown Builders: The city flourished between roughly 100 BCE and 550 CE, holding an estimated population of 100,000 to 125,000 people at its peak—making it one of the largest cities in the ancient world. Yet, the civilization left no written records, leaving their origin, language, and true name unknown.

​The Aztec Name: When the Aztecs arrived in the Valley of Mexico around the 14th century, the city had been lying in ruins for over 700 years. Struck with awe by the monumental architecture, they assumed it was constructed by giants or gods and named it Teotihuacan ("the place where gods were created").

​Urban Grid Alignment: The entire city was laid out on a precise geometric grid oriented 15.5 degrees east of true north, aligning with solar cycles and sacred calendar alignments.

​Subterranean Secrets: Modern excavations using subterranean radar and robotic rovers have revealed extensive artificial tunnels and chambers hidden directly underneath the Pyramid of the Sun and the Temple of the Feathered Serpent, filled with ritual offerings like carved greenstone statues and pools of liquid mercury.

The Charmer Tour

September 26, 2026 • 7:00 pm
DOORS 6:00pm • 21+ without parent or guardian

---TICKETS—-

TOADIES
Toadies return with The Charmer, their long-awaited eighth studio album and most personal and visceral work to date. One of the last recordings by late, legendary producer Steve Albini (Nirvana, PJ Harvey etc.), record captures the Texas foursome live in the studio bottling their raw, Southern-tinged grunge with unfiltered immediacy. Formed in Fort Worth in 1989, Toadies marry the band’s love for the Pixies and Talking Heads to the old-school country, ZZ Top, and classic rock they all grew up on. It’s a sound intoxicating but uneasy, cathartic yet always searching. Frontman Vaden Todd Lewis channels years of self-reflection into The Charmer, a concept born from pandemic isolation and a reckoning with self-doubt. Released via Austin’s pioneering Spaceflight Records (The Sword, Die Spitz, Heartless Bastards), the world’s first nonprofit label, The Charmer embodies true creative freedom: made on their own terms, with Steve Albini their dream producer. The Charmer is the most defiantly “Toadies” Toadies album yet.

LOCAL H
Local H is known for their blistering live shows and for pioneering the two-man band set-up -- frontman Scott Lucas covers both guitar and bass through an extra pick up in his guitar and drummer Ryan Harding pounds out the rest of the sound. While they have earned praise in the past for their catalog of clever concept albums, Local H have forgone a singular theme on their most recent album -- Hey, Killer (out April 2015 on G&P Records) -- turning out a non-stop blast of straight-up, hooky, guitar-heavy rock songs -- each one catchier than the last. The band’s discography includes seven other studio albums, a live album, and a bunch of EPs and “Straight Outta Zion,” a Blu-ray concert video (release date 8/12/16).

Local H’s widely praised 1998 concept album Pack Up the Cats earned a spot in SPIN magazine’s top 20 albums of that year. The band was named “Chicagoans of the Year” by the Chicago Tribune for their 2008 break-up album, 12 Angry Months, more than a decade after their breakthrough hit “Bound for the Floor” ruled the Modern Rock charts. In 2015, Local H celebrated the 25th anniversary of their first show and released a career-spanning coffee table book, Local H: Twenty-Five Years of Skin In The Game. Earlier this year, they re-issued their 1996 album, As Good As Dead, on vinyl for the first time.

Local H is currently on tour with Metallica while they continue to relentlessly tour the world!

OLIVE VOX
Olive Vox” is the Dallas-based alt rock project of Parker James, Caden Shea, and Ben Reid. Olive Vox pulls inspiration from across the alternative rock world, from the fist-pumping pop rock of bands like Nirvana and Cage the Elephant, to the punk rock energy of Turnstile. The trio started releasing music in 2021 and have since grown a large following on social media and have shared stages with notable acts like Ty Segall, Violent Vira, and Puddle of Mudd.

---

JOSHUA RAY WALKER
Joshua Ray Walker is a Dallas-born Country/Americana songwriter known for vivid, character-driven storytelling and a rich tenor that blends classic Texas tradition with a modern emotional edge. Since his 2019 debut, he has built a catalog defined by sharp writing, dark humor, and deep empathy for complicated people, earning national television appearances, multiple Grand Ole Opry performances, and more than 2,000 shows across the U.S. and Europe.

His sixth studio album, Ain’t Dead Yet, marks his most personal chapter to date. Recorded before, during, and after cancer treatment, (including sessions the day before lung surgery that could have permanently altered his voice), the record wrestles with mortality, gratitude, memory, and transformation. Sonically rooted in pedal steel, fiddle, and Walker’s signature guitar picking, it captures an artist confronting uncertainty with defiance , clarity, and hard-won joy.

Across every release, from early character portraits to ambitious concept records, Walker’s through-line remains the same: songs that tell the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. On Ain’t Dead Yet, he expands that hallmark into his most personal chapter yet, documenting a profound period of change and a hard-won second chance.

TLC Stained Glass Studio Classes
Sep
27
to Dec 31

TLC Stained Glass Studio Classes

TLC Stained Glass is an art studio and gallery in Santa Fe. We specialize in creating custom stained glass panels, as well as completing repairs and restorations, and teaching workshops to both locals and visitors to our "City Different."

TLC Stained Glass began as many things do, as a hobby in a garage. I’d just left my first vocation, a decade of teaching science, and I was feeling adrift. Over lunch, Anton Delgado, a dear friend, had mentioned that he’d been a stained glass artist on and off for over 40 years, but that he was retired now and more or less done with his tools and materials. He was generous enough to give me a one-off lesson and turn me loose with some extra materials he had. Over the coming months, he got to see my skill and interest grow and I was accepted into an apprenticeship at a local Glass Studio.

Anton passed in 2023, but got to see the studio come to fruition before he went home. Even on his deathbed, he wanted to offer me more books, more ways to continue my exploration. 

I opened TLC Stained Glass in 2021 and continue to honor Anton’s memory and my own creative heart by teaching workshops, completing commission work, and repairing and restoring old or broken stained glass works. I firmly believe that everyone should explore opportunities to make, and that stained glass isn’t just for church windows!

Doors 5:00PM
Show 7:00PM

Midland

Produced by Trent Willmon, the man behind Cody Johnson’s resounding and award-winning country success, there’s a fluidity to these ten songs that belies the Texas producer and songwriter’s own sense of how to walk the line between Red Dirt, Lone Star and Music City aesthetics.
Recorded in Nashville, with supplemental playing from five-time CMA Musician of the Year Jenee Fleenor, Midland delivers a sinewy collection of songs laced with fiddle and soaked in the kind of pedal steel that gets buckles polished and dancefloors full. Longing in places, back-beat forward in others, these are songs to drown in your beer or howl at the moon to.

Carson agrees, “We’ve been in a pick-up, then a van and finally a bus. We set out to find ourselves and ended up in constant motion. Always becoming, never quite arriving, it’s been the music that’s carried us across ten years of seeking what takes country music so far beyond the city limits to places nothing else gets you to.”

Whether a barnstorming take on the SteelDrivers (and Gary Allan’s) “Drinkin’ Dark Whiskey,” written by Chris Stapleton and Mike Henderson, the luxurious, moment-before-everything-changes duet with Mackenzie Carpenter “I Wish You Would,” and the name’n’location-checking reel “Up In Texas,” which cites Lonesome Dove, Jerry Jones, Billy Bob’s, Billy Graham, Lucchese boots, Shiner Bock beers, Sam Houston, Davy Crockett and Willie Nelson, Midland inhabits these songs with a native ease.

Indeed, “Texas,” twin fiddles forward, delivers a comprehensive homage to the Lone Star State, one that enlists no less than Killin’ Time icon Clint Black for the second verse and bridge. That veneration takes a more serious turn on the closing “Vaquero,” equal parts high plains requiem and elegy for a cowboy whose world is gone. Drawing on those sweeping New Mexico/Arizona vistas, the seriousness takes on “Pancho & Lefty”’s benedictive resonance.

And tequila ain’t helping, whiskey just hurts
But it was one helluva a friend when it worked
Praying ain’t saving, wishing ain’t changing
A damn thing, it’s just making it worse…
“Drunk Enough”

Beyond the clichés, there are stages. The living and learning that saturates dignity with knowing. Never ones to tell people how to live, who to love or when to leave, Midland savors the flashfloods of emotion, high and dry wash-outs and head-splitting morning afters more than some notion of happily ever after. Sometimes it’s the extremes: whether good-timing of Carson Chamberlain/Wyatt McCubbin/Michael White’s shrug-it-off party-chasing “Walk A Mile” or the sorrow drowning “Shooting Memories With Tequila,” Midland nails the moment and the feeling.

“The more you play, the further you can go,” says Duddy, also an accomplished director helming the forthcoming film “Cowboy,” which follows a traveling rodeo and the group of entertainers within it as they deal with the harsh realities of their chosen careers. In the film, Midland’s Mark Wystrach portrays Buck and stars alongside Ben Foster (“Hell or High Water”), Rudy Pankow (“Outer Banks”) and Gabriel Basso (“The Night Agent”). It marks Wystrach’s latest acting role since his performances on Prime Video’s breakout drama “The Runarounds” and the critically acclaimed 2021 film “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.”
Duddy continues, “You know where the lines are, you’re not afraid of what can happen. Again, it’s what makes country great: you can take it to the limit, soak in it and not look back. It’s the thing that makes us feel so alive.”

“From the first time we sang together,” Wystrach recalls, “we had the same influences, the same sense of what mattered. That’s never wavered, only gotten stronger – and you can hear it on these songs.”

Carson agrees, “Nashville, Texas, California, everywhere in between, it’s in these songs. The road dust, sweat, music listened to, it all seeps into who we are and what we do. It’s an adventure and a wild ride, but it’s always the fuel we take into the studio.”

Which is what makes Stages such a high-test affair. All the stages of seeking their place have brought Midland to this point. To know it’s earned, not plastic injection molded, all you have to do is listen.

Huser Brothers

The Waco-born Brothers have been making waves in the independent music scene with their unique blend of soulful, rocking country, original tunes. Brothers were born and raised in Waco, Texas, right off the I-35 corridor between Dallas and Austin. The Brothers bring a high energy, entertaining show you dont want to miss.

Their first EP “Find My Way” released May of 2018 was just the beginning for this talented group, with songs such as “Dancefloor” and “Highway.” A little later on songs such as ‘Tired of Runnin” and “Honey” took over the top spots and gained attention from listeners all across the U.S. Furthermore, In 2025 the brothers won TCMA Country Band of the Year!

They have been privileged to share the stage with some of the biggest acts in the music scene like Koe Wetzel, Parker McCollum, Treaty Oak Revival, Dylan Scott, and Gary Allen just to name a few.

With some new music right around the corner, Huser Brother Band is definitely an act you want to keep your eye on! You can expect to see big things in the near future! Check out the "Tour" page to see when they'll be near you!

All Ages---IRENE DIAZ

The song was also named one of Bride.com's top 10 wedding songs, alongside tracks by John Legend and Lana Del Rey.

Because of its worldwide popularity, Diaz is often invited to perform "Crazy Love" at private events around the world.Whether performing in small venues like Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles or for crowds of more than 13,000 people at a Selena Tribute Concert in Chicago, Irene Diaz continues to impress audiences with her heartfelt lyrics and engaging stage presence.

MOUNTAIN GRASS UNIT
Hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, Mountain Grass Unit has rapidly emerged as one of the most electrifying young bands in modern bluegrass, fusing razor-sharp picking, fearless improvisation, and four-part harmony into a sound that feels both rooted and revolutionary. The quartet — Drury Anderson (mandolin, vocals), Luke Black (guitar, vocals), Josiah Nelson (fiddle, vocals), and Sam Wilson (bass, vocals) — first turned heads with their 2024 EP Runnin’ From Trouble, but 2025 proved to be their true breakthrough year. The band logged nearly 100 national tour dates, sold out over thirty headline shows, and delivered standout festival performances at Telluride Bluegrass, DelFest, Northlands, an d WinterWonderGrass.

Rolling Stone praised them as the “surprise show” of Telluride, while Saving Country Music declared them the “next big band in bluegrass,” with further national spotlight through exclusive live sessions with Paste, Relix, and No Depression, cementing their arrival on the national stage. Their momentum peaked during IBMA week, where they earned the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Momentum Artist of the Year award, a defining milestone in a year of exponential growth.

Now in the studio crafting their next full-length album, due late summer, and fresh off support runs with genre leaders like The Infamous Stringdusters and Kitchen Dwellers, the band continues to expand its reach. Along the way, they’ve shared stages with legends like Billy Strings and Greensky Bluegrass in a series of high-profile moments that underscore the respect they’ve earned from the genre’s leading voices. Mountain Grass Unit isn’t simply riding bluegrass’s current resurgence, they are helping steer it, staking their claim as one of the most vital and forward-looking young bands in American roots music today.

Teotihuacan's sheer scale is staggering, and the fact that its true origin remains one of archaeology's greatest mysteries makes it even more compelling.

Looking directly down at the Pyramid of the Sun highlights just how massive its footprint is. Measuring roughly 220 by 230 meters (720 by 760 feet) at its base, it covers almost the same ground area as the Great Pyramid of Giza, standing 66 meters (216 feet) high.

​Key Facts Behind the Mystery

​The Unknown Builders: The city flourished between roughly 100 BCE and 550 CE, holding an estimated population of 100,000 to 125,000 people at its peak—making it one of the largest cities in the ancient world. Yet, the civilization left no written records, leaving their origin, language, and true name unknown.

​The Aztec Name: When the Aztecs arrived in the Valley of Mexico around the 14th century, the city had been lying in ruins for over 700 years. Struck with awe by the monumental architecture, they assumed it was constructed by giants or gods and named it Teotihuacan ("the place where gods were created").

​Urban Grid Alignment: The entire city was laid out on a precise geometric grid oriented 15.5 degrees east of true north, aligning with solar cycles and sacred calendar alignments.

​Subterranean Secrets: Modern excavations using subterranean radar and robotic rovers have revealed extensive artificial tunnels and chambers hidden directly underneath the Pyramid of the Sun and the Temple of the Feathered Serpent, filled with ritual offerings like carved greenstone statues and pools of liquid mercury.

Discover Soft Pastels

Discover Soft Pastels

Step into the colorful world of Georgia O'Keeffe and discover the beauty of soft pastels (also known as chalk pastels). Inspired by O'Keeffe's stunning 1922 artwork, Pink and Green, you'll explore the rich, velvety colors and expressive techniques that make this medium so captivating.
Rather than recreating the entire artwork, each participant will select a small section of Pink and Green and transform it into a finished masterpiece of their own.

By enlarging and interpreting one intimate detail, you'll discover the beauty of abstract shapes, vibrant color relationships, and expressive mark-making. The result is a one-of-a-kind artwork that honors O'Keeffe's vision while reflecting your own creative style.


Perfect for both beginners and experienced artists, this class will introduce you to the fundamentals of soft pastels, including blending, layering, and creating luminous color. You'll be amazed at how quickly this forgiving and expressive medium comes to life!
All materials are included!

I'll provide everything you need to create your artwork and guide you every step of the way. If you fall in love with soft pastels (and many people do!), I'm happy to share information about my favorite supplies, recommendations, and shopping resources so you can continue creating at home.
$120.00 ($129.83 with tax) – All materials included.
To purchase a ticket, click the link below and select the highlighted class date on the calendar.
Limited to just 6 participants to ensure plenty of individual guidance and personal instruction.

THE ANIMEROS

With musical notes that span well beyond genres like bolero, psychedelic, and cumbia, The Animeros not only make their audience hit the dance floor, but they also invite their listeners and tastemakers alike to a glimpse of their rich cultural upbringing.

The group who is made up of Nick Tozzo (drummer and percussionist), Nicolas Sanchez (bassist), and Mauro Lopez (guitarist) craft a genre-blending sound that drifts between the lush jungles of Colombia, the palm-lined streets of 1960s coastal Mexico, and the dusty cantinas of West Texas.

Sanchez’s Colombian roots, growing up listening to his parents’ beloved salsa and cumbia; Lopez’s parents’ Mexican and American discography, which spanned from traditional Tejano to improvised jazz; and Tozzo’s love for jazz and salsa music, the latter stemming from his college years, leading him to study and live in Colombia to experience music greats first-handedly. All of this, paired with their undeniable chemistry and meshed with their now hometown Austin’s innovative creative sounds has led them to create the unique sonic movement that is The Animeros, a name inspired by Colombian shamans who would usher lost souls to their peace.

Their journey took an unexpected turn when their music reached the ears of Dan Auerbach, the Grammy Award winning producer, songwriter, and frontman of The Black Keys. Auerbach first heard them by chance, music floating from an open hotel window that stopped him in his tracks. Captivated, he made a note to track them down, and within a year, that chance encounter led to something bigger. Now signed to Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label, The Animeros are preparing to release their debut album next year, produced exclusively by Auerbach himself.

“I feel like it's only a matter of time for these guys and for the music that they play. All they have to do is be themselves,” Auerbach said about the trio. “They're playing the kind of music that they can play forever until they're 100 years old because it's rooted in history, but it's very much in the present.”

“When we first talked, one of the things was our love for the nuance in Latin music,” Lopez shared. “That's what initially drew ourselves to each other… That's like a language among musicians.” Tozzo also talked about their shared musical bond: “What makes our chemistry special is that even if one of us has just a glimpse of an idea, together we can take that and really create something out of it.” “That encyclopedia of [music] knowledge everyone brings…That's what's really appealing about this project. It's not just surface level. Everybody's going pretty deep on it,” Sanchez added.

The Animeros are on the cusp of reaching new audiences all over the globe. More singles are coming with a new album on the way in 2026 via Easy Eye Sound.

October 2, 2026 • 8:30 pm

DOORS 8:00pm • All Ages

---

THE SPONGES
The Sponges have become well known for their unmistakable signature sound in dance music. The combination of tasteful ’70s funk and disco samples, psychedelic sound design, heavy basslines, and four-on-the-floor house rhythms makes their productions instantly recognizable. After having the opportunity to work with many of the artists who originally influenced them—including Purple Disco Machine, GRiZ, AC Slater, Kyle Watson, Opiuo, The Floozies, Manic Focus, and Lettuce—The Sponges have established themselves as a respected act in the electronic music world.

Since their arrival in 2019, The Sponges have amassed millions of streams, earned five No. 1 records on Beatport, and built a thriving touring career. The duo, composed of Ryan Slepin and Nik Eaton, has performed at some of the Western Hemisphere’s premier music festivals, including Shambhala, Friendship AMF, and Envision. Following the release of their debut EP and their first-ever headline tour in 2023, The Sponges continue to push their sound forward and expand their reach as one of dance music’s rising acts.

N2N
N2N has quietly emerged as one of dance music’s most compelling underground forces. Unpredictable and emotionally unfiltered, his performances push past celebration into catharsis.

Drawing from disco, house, funk, and hip hop, his sound is funky, bouncy, and intentionally hard to pin down. A fearless mixer with an instinct for tension and release, N2N has ignited dance floors everywhere from intimate clubs to major festival stages, with standout appearances at Desert Hearts Festival, Elements, and Shambhala.

His presence is commanding without ego—setting the tone and daring people to meet it.

Fresh off 70+ shows in 2025 and backed by industry tastemakers including Toolroom, Repopulate Mars, and GDB Records, the momentum is building.

2026 sees N2N bring his imprint, Dance Therapy, to the forefront—a philosophy rooted in self-expression, release, and the belief in the healing power of the dance floor.

When he’s not behind the decks, he’s tending to an ever-growing plant collection or whispering sweet nothings to his cats: Bucket, Shoe, Tofu, and Jasmine.

Whiskey Flower

Whiskey Flower

Whiskey Flower is the formerly LA-based, newly Santa Fe-based creative partnership of Julie Neumark and Holly Lucille, performing as a powerful, rootsy duo or full band for select shows. Their music brings a more assertive edge to rock Americana, balancing grit and vulnerability with songs that feel unfiltered, lived-in, and emotionally alive. Built on Neumark’s songwriting, tight vocal harmonies with Lucille, melodic bass, and percussive rhythm guitar, Whiskey Flower creates a sound that feels both intimate and expansive.

Before Whiskey Flower, Neumark released music as a solo artist through Hyena Records Benelux and Lonesome Day Records USA, and toured internationally as an opener for Grammy-nominated blues-rock artist Beth Hart, including two tours in the Netherlands. 

In Whiskey Flower, Neumark drives the rhythm with percussive acoustic guitar and a foot drum, while Lucille’s melodic, almost lead-style bass playing carries much of the movement and musical color. Together, their vocal harmonies and stripped-down instrumentation create a sound that feels bigger than two people, without losing its intimacy.

Their current release cycle centers on double yellow lines, produced by Grammy-winning producer John Would. The EP’s songs were recorded live in the studio with the full band playing together, giving the recordings the immediacy, chemistry, and human edge that also define Whiskey Flower’s live set.

 

Santa Fe five-piece gothabilliejean was founded by longtime guitarist and former club owner Donalee Goodbrod, of The Paramount and Drama Club, and James Beard–nominated chef Kirstin Griffin. Together, they serve up a wildly eclectic mix of goth, post-punk, blues, vintage pop, and ’80s favorites.

Inspired by artists ranging from The Cramps, Bauhaus, and Radiohead to Connie Francis, Donalee and Kirstin set out to put their own darkly playful spin on the songs they love. Lead guitarist and DJ Oona Bender, bassist Holly Agajanian, and drummer Haley Jenkins round out the genre-bending lineup.

The band has brought its live show to Santa Fe stages, festivals, showcases, private parties, and special events, with appearances at Tumbleroot, Crawdaddy Fest at the Mine Shaft Tavern, and multiple years at Santa Fe Pride.

Wherever they play, expect familiar songs, surprising turns, and a band having exactly as much fun as the audience. Dark, playful, danceable, and impossible to pin down, gothabilliejean has only one real rule: there are no rules.

DAMIEN JURADO
“Play on, there’s no such thing as better days,” Damien Jurado sings on “Roger,” the sweeping wash of a song that opens Reggae Film Star, his 18th full length album and second release from Jurado’s own Maraqopa Records label. But as he enters his 25th year as a recording artist, it’s clear these are, at the least, very good days for Jurado on the creative front. In these 12 songs, which evoke half-recalled dreams and overheard conversations, the cosmic rushes headlong into the autobiographical and specific moments on the clock fade from past to future to scenes set only in the eternal now. Playing out like a backlot documentary filmed on the location of an unnamed TV or film set—maybe a sitcom taping, or perhaps it’s a low budget science fiction B-movie, or could it be a talk show?—the album is populated by performers awaiting call times, camera operators praying for their shot, and studio audiences rapt with anticipation. The stars here eschew glitz and glamor. Instead, they wander grocery stores and parking lots in the verdant Pacific Northwest and the desert Southwest, looking for payphones and a sense of purpose. Produced by Jurado with multi-instrumentalist Josh Gordon and recording engineer Alex Bush at Sonikwire studio in Irvine,CA, Jurado’s home away from home and musical headquarters, the record’s compositions are among the most musically rich in his vast discography, encompassing romantic AM gold, ‘60s psychedelia, driving rock & roll, Latin shuffles, and left of the dial ambiance. Strings swell, melodic bass bubbles, and piano sparkles, undergirding Jurado’s unmistakable voice, at once intimately present and ghostly, grounded in the here and now but capable, at any moment, of drifting off into the divinatory. Following threads established by 2021’s The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania, the album sees Jurado embracing his auteur era, penning vignettes that arrive with little fanfare and depart quicker than you might suspect, only to linger long after they wrap. Seeking a skeleton key to decipher the action is beside the point—Jurado’s songs are worlds meant to be lived in, not picked apart—but on the beatific single “What Happened To The Class Of ‘65?” the singer imagines himself as both the viewer and the viewed, the eye behind the camera and its subject. This emotional and spiritual transference animates Reggae Film Star. Like a masterful director, Jurado offers motivation to the listener, staring unblinkingly from the mise-en-scène in your mind. “Look into the camera,” he commands on “The Day Of The Robot,” “One more time with anger/And sadness/I believe you.” A quarter-century in, Jurado remains gripped by his visions and driven by an unmatched creative drive. Reggae Film Star is one of Damien Jurado’s finest works to date, a stunning new feature from one of indie rock’s most cinematic figures. Here on this sound stage, you are the camera, you are the scene, you are the setting, and you are the viewer. Please try not to blink.

ROUTE 66: THE MAIN STREET OF AMERICA
Join us for a special Route 66 Centennial Celebration screening of Route 66: The Main Street of America—a moving and often surprising documentary that brings America’s most legendary highway to life through the people who call it home.

The new film unfolds as a series of vivid, character-driven stories—from dreamers and small business owners to preservationists and everyday heroes—each offering a unique window into life along the road. Together, these stories form a rich and deeply human portrait of Route 66 today: a place of resilience, reinvention, and unexpected opportunity.

From roadside attractions to revitalized main streets, the film captures the spirit of communities finding new life and new purpose—proving that sometimes the most meaningful journeys begin when you take the road less traveled.

Whether you’ve driven Route 66 or only imagined it, this film offers an engaging, heartfelt look at an American icon—full of humor, warmth, and discovery.

Following the screening, stay for a live Q&A with filmmaker John Paget, along with select participants from the film. Hear the stories behind the stories and meet the people who continue to shape Route 66 today.

Jeremy Dutcher
Oct

Jeremy Dutcher

Jeremy Dutcher is a classically trained tenor, Two-Spirit song carrier, polymuse, activist, ethnomusicologist, and member of Neqotkuk (Tobique First Nation) in Eastern Canada. Dedicated to language revitalization, Jeremy’s debut album Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa unearthed century-old archival recordings of his ancestors, turning them into collaborative compositions on the grand piano.

Sung entirely in Wolastoqey, his endangered mother tongue, it would go on to win the 2018 Polaris Music Prize and lead to collaborations with such iconic artists as Yo-Yo Ma and Leslie Feist.

His sophomore album Motewolonuwok ᒣᑌᐧᐁᓓᓄᐧᐁᒃ was awarded the 2024 Polaris Music Prize, making Jeremy the first ever two-time winner. Jeremy’s music transcends boundaries: unapologetically playful in its incorporation of classical and jazz influences, full of reverence for the traditional songs of his home, and teeming with the urgency of modern-day resistance. He is regularly sought out for his perspectives on queerness, Indigeneity, language revitalization, and fashion.

UNA MAS Y LA CHA CHA
Oct

UNA MAS Y LA CHA CHA

The members and music of Una Mas y La ChaCha reflect the diversity of Santa Fe – the Indigenous, the descendants of Spanish and Mexican families and multigenerational Anglos residents; and cumbias, boleros, flamenco, 70’s Chicano funk and eclectic covers with the band’s unique spin that they call Northern New Mexico soul music.

With a rock-solid rhythm section featuring bassist Brian Shannon, percussionists Adrian Trate and David Gomez supporting the soaring leads of guitarist and band founder D’Santi Nava, and the soulful vocals of Trate and la Cha Cha Krystle Lucero, Una Mas can deliver an intimate performance in a cozy venue that draws in the listener to rocking out before a crowd of thousands at large public events.

An Una Mas show is a night of passion and heritage that has crowds clearing out a dance space for a set of songs by Selena, listening respectfully to a hymn for Quetzalcoatl, or gazing in rapt attention as Nava, “el Brujo,” furiously works the fretboard. To hear Una Mas y la Cha Cha is to be present in a moment that weaves threads of time, genres, and peoples.

Snarky Puppy

SNARKY PUPPY
Snarky Puppy, the five time Grammy-winning collective, “has always been a band that prioritizes the sound of the music,” says bandleader and bassist Michael League. Displaying a wide array of influences including funk, rhythm & blues, hard rock, classic soul, modern gospel, new tech, fusion and jazz, Snarky Puppy isn’t exactly a jazz band, it’s not a fusion band and it’s definitely not a jam band. It’s probably best to take Nate Chinen of the New York Times’ advice, as stated in an online discussion about the group, to “take them for what they are, rather than judge them for what they’re not.”

“Our soundscape has expanded dramatically over the years” says League. “When the band started, we were jazzier, brainy and music oriented. Moving into the Dallas scene we became groovier, more emotional, deeper in a sense. We focused more on communicating a clear message, understandable to a listener without dumbing things down”.

Mama's Broke

MAMA'S BROKE
For more than a decade, Mama’s Broke, the Canadian duo of Amy Lou Keeler and Lisa Maria, have forged a style carried across landscapes rather than tied to one. Their forthcoming 12-song LP Reunion, out August 28 via Free Dirt Records and Forward Music Group, follows years in near-constant motion, bringing their folk-without-borders approach to small clubs, DIY spaces, and everywhere in between. Winners of the Canadian Folk Music Award for Ensemble of the Year for their 2017 debut Count the Wicked, their music is rooted in long days playing for passing crowds and traveling by foot, as well as in the deep wells of folk lineage they’ve tapped into across Eastern Canada, Appalachia, Ireland, and beyond. Their sound doesn’t belong to any one place so much as it passes through them, grounded in the traditions that shaped it.

That foundation was built long before stages and studio sessions, in traveling communities where music functioned as both currency and connection. The two met within a global network of musicians funding their way through shared songs, carrying only what they could as they traded melodies and stories across the miles. Playing for hours at a time on the street demanded a repertoire that could hold attention and sustain emotion, drawing them deep into traditional material and the discipline of close harmony. Over time, the songs became a common language, connecting what came before with the music they were making together.

Building on their JUNO-nominated album Narrow Line (2022), Reunion reflects a world coming apart in plain sight, tracing fractured communities, the erosion of shared ground, and the growing awareness that the systems we were taught to trust no longer hold or deliver the promises they were meant to keep. The songs don’t preach or prescribe; they reflect, holding up a mirror and leaving space for something else to take shape.

Recorded just outside Nashville in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, Reunion features subtle contributions from bassist Paul Kowert (Gillian Welch & David Rawlings) and others, adding depth without pulling focus from the record’s acoustic core. At its heart, Mama’s Broke remains what it has always been: two voices, intertwined, both fragile and enduring. Reunion asks what it means to make something that lasts: not a place you’re from, or even a place you return to, but what you make together, and how long it lasts, if you tend to it.

Mama’s Broke are touring their new album in North America and Europe throughout 2026 and 2027.

Bison Haven't Moved Like This In Over 100 Years

Bison Haven't Moved Like This In Over 100 Years

Bison are creating one of the greatest ecological comebacks in North American history — literally causing plants to regrow on long dead land.

For over a century, the American bison of the Great Plains and Yellowstone National Park were fractured, their massive herds divided into isolated subpopulations by roads, fences, and human-driven habitat disruption.

But in a stunning wildlife triumph, these artificial boundaries have dissolved. Without human intervention, the bison are instinctively reuniting and reclaiming ancient, cross-boundary migration routes that had been dormant since the early 20th century.

This historic movement is not just a reunion; it is a collective remembering of ancestral paths, signaling a dramatic shift in how these legendary creatures interact with their native landscape.

As these unified herds march across the grasslands, they act as ultimate ecosystem engineers. The heavy stomping of their hooves breaks up packed soil, allowing native seeds to take root, while their grazing patterns stimulate the growth of nutrient-rich plants.

Additionally, the depressions left by their dust wallows capture rainfall to create temporary watering holes for other wildlife, distributing vital nutrients across the plains. By allowing bison to roam freely and reclaim their historic migration corridors, nature is proving that wild ecosystems thrive best when their original caretakers are given the space to lead the way.

WILD PINK

WILD PINK

WILD PINK
Wild Pink’s new album Dulling The Horns finds frontman John Ross rebuilding after cancer, burnout, and years of emotional upheaval. Once known for sweeping synth-Americana and polished production, the band strips things back here, recording live and embracing a rawer, rough-edged sound inspired by classic rock and Crazy Horse-style grit. Across songs full of fragmented observations, dark humor, anxiety, and personal reflection, Ross wrestles with aging, fatherhood, mortality, and the exhausting cycle of the music industry while searching for renewed meaning and creative fire. The result is Wild Pink’s loosest, loudest, and most visceral album yet — a messy but vital reclamation of purpose that ultimately lands on a hard-earned philosophy: keep moving forward, even without clear answers.

Zach Bellas
Oct

Zach Bellas

Zach Bellas is the name of the band. And they truly are a band. A three-piece national touring alternative rock powerhouse with a catalog of incredible music and an undeniably brilliant live show. 

Slightly psychedelic and punk adjacent, their sound is a delicious mirepoix of the great rock bands of the past. Strong 70’s and early 90’s classic rock influences can be felt throughout mixed with blues, reggae, country, jazz, and a variety of latin music influences - all marry together to make a distinctly unique, but also instantly familiar experience that fans adore.

While originally rooted in the Washington, DC area and now located in Wilmington, North Carolina, the band really took shape during their formative years in Baltimore, Maryland. With Tom McAteer on drums, Kyle Hadley on bass and backing vocals, and Zach Bellas on lead vocals and guitar - the band had an unfortunate start.

After spending the better part of 2019 recording two albums at the same time and planning two full nationwide tours totaling almost 200 shows, the band was forced on hiatus by the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020. Over the next couple years, the group slowly eked out a few singles, a short ep, and scrapped together tours with whatever venues were able to open at the time.

As things opened back up, the band went back into full force. They released a full-length album called No Questions No Answers to great acclaim followed by their greatest work to date - a single named ‘One More Show’ - to immensely positive response from both fans and in the press, which was immediately followed by another winner, the hit song ‘Congratulations’

Now back in a very solid rhythm, 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest year ever for the band. They have a new full-length album in the works that they are recording in Wilmington, NC and performing live as much as possible.

Zach Bellas is sponsored by PRS Guitars, 1710 Percussion, and Collision Drumsticks

Time Will Tell Tour

DEVON GILFILLIAN
Forged through the extreme highs and lows that come with living, Time Will Tell is the album that Devon Gilfillian has been preparing to make his entire life. His third studio album was recorded in Nashville's legendary RCA Studio A, live to tape on varispeed, with mostly single vocal takes.

Gilfillian wrote and produced with a mighty team including longtime drummer and friend Jonathan Smalt and Neal H Pogue (Tyler the Creator, OutKast) as executive producer. Gilfillian carries soul track to track through a sonic journey of rock, funk, and country elements, magnetically vulnerable about his own failure and frailty.

No end is ever easy, and what else is there in life than to go through? To get to where we're going, we've got to suffer a little. Time Will Tell is the sound of Gilfillian doing just that while realizing what a blessing it is to be here at all.

Zia Rising: The 47th State

Zia Rising: The 47th State

President Taft proclaimed New Mexico the 47th state of the Union on January 5, 1912. When our final territorial governor got the big news, his 16-year-old daughter proudly raised a brand-new 47-star flag over the State Capitol in Santa Fe—and church bells rang out in celebration.

We were one of the last states to join the contiguous United States—even though we were home to the country’s first European settlements and its oldest known civilizations. The quest for statehood lasted 62 years, and in that pivotal time New Mexico learned to govern itself—and set out to prove itself to the world.

First, we had to Americanize, and to give back to the nation that was finally welcoming us in. We heeded the call, and by 1912 this was a bustling, well-developed place with law and order, major mining, timber, and sheep industries, and public schools and universities…with more improvements on the way. Good roads were linking farm communities to cities, and irrigation projects were laying the groundwork for grand agricultural efforts. Thanks to improved communication and vigorous efforts to sell New Mexico’s resources, people started coming to visit. Some even built new lives here.

Our state needed new symbols to define us—like our iconic flag, with its sacred Zia sun symbol. You’ll see designs for our very first flags, along with a one-of-a-kind state seal made from everyday hardware and the piano used to compose O, Fair New Mexico, our first state song.

So, let’s join Felipe Maximiliano Chacón, the New Mexican Bard, and shout: “Long live the state of New Mexico!”

TYLER BALLGAME
Tyler Ballgame was born from the concept of radical presence in expression—the idea that each live performance is an opportunity to transcend the ordinary digital world, and surrender to the magic of a truly human experience. With a vibrant blend of alternative indie pop, Tyler's sound evokes a sense of nostalgia, joy, and classic song-craft. Now, he's gearing up to release his debut full-length album, “For The First Time, Again,” produced by longtime collaborators Jonathan Rado and Ryan Pollie. Grounded in this ethos of presence, Tyler's music is built on strong melodic hooks and draws subtle inspiration from the classic songwriting of the '60s and '70s.

Fools for the Fleeting Tour

---

KATIE PRUITT
Less than a decade into her career, Katie Pruitt has cemented her status as an essential artist who helps us make sense of modern life and uncover meaningful ways of moving through it. Since the arrival of her critically celebrated full-debut Expectations (a 2020 LP that earned her an Emerging Artist of the Year nomination from the Americana Music Association), the Georgia-bred singer/songwriter/guitarist has assembled an acclaimed body of work exploring questions both existential and intimate (e.g., identity, self-acceptance, the quiet courage of living truthfully). On her new album Fools for the Fleeting, the Nashville-based musician reckons with the impermanence inherent to being human, shifting between poetic observation and confessional storytelling as she confronts such complex matters as ecological anxiety, love’s intrinsic fragility, and the profound isolation normalized by our increasingly digitized existence.

Her third full-length and follow-up to 2024’s Mantras, Fools for the Fleeting emerged from Pruitt’s vision of creating an album that feels “rooted to the earth”—a concept closely tied to the LP’s underlying theme of nature as a mirror for our inner lives. A prime showcase for her warm and soulful voice, the 10-song set centers on a powerful yet intentional form of Americana/indie-rock, steeped in acoustic instrumentation and the beautifully imperfect friction of live performance, courtesy of musicians like Juan Solorzano (a guitarist known for his work with Ruston Kelly and Parker Millsap) and Aksel Coe (a drummer who’s played with Ella Langley and Sierra Ferrell). As Pruitt’s most outward-reaching and philosophically rich work to date, the result is a luminous meditation on transience and grief, connection as survival, and the transformative power of presence and surrender.

THEE SINSEERS
Fronted by bandleader and son of East Los Angeles Joey Quiñones, Thee Sinseers have quietly chipped away at the sounds of R&B and soul since forming in 2019, bringing together their interpretation of music through an unmistakable modern lens. On their new Colemine Records release, 'Love Stories', one thing becomes abundantly clear: this is not an LP that explores a neat and tidy love story. It's interested in everything that comes before it, after it, and in spite of it. The band leaned into earthier instrumentation — standup bass, guitars run through amplifiers for a warmer sixties-adjacent tone. It's that cross-genre thinking that Quiñones sees as the record's defining quality. The band sought to capture the highs and lows of romantic relationships while expanding the frame to include the familial, the complicated, and the unresolved. Like an unsent love letter finally delivered, 'Love Stories' carries the weight of everything that was felt but never quite said.

JULIAN LAGE QUARTET
Hailed as one of the most prodigious guitarists of his generation and “highest category of improvising musicians” (New Yorker), Julian Lage has spent more than a decade searching through the myriad strains of American musical history via impeccable technique, free association and a spirit of infinite possibility.

In the waning days of 2024, Lage began what he calls a writing sprint. Lage has long been prolific: In the three decades since the documentary Jules at Eight identified him as a prodigy, Lage has made a dozen records with his own bands and duos, and three times that many with leading lights of his artistic orbit, like John Zorn, Gary Burton, and Charles Lloyd. But Lage was preparing for a four-day residency at SFJAZZ, plus the premiere of a new quartet of old collaborators and friends who had strangely never recorded together: Lage with steadfast bassist Jorge Roeder, dynamic drummer Kenny Wollesen, and vaunted keyboardist John Medeski. As he thought about their qualities as players and hypothesized about how they might interact, he set a timer for 20 minutes, wrote a tune, recorded it once, and then began again.

Lage called one particular tune he loved during that sprint, “Storyville.” It’s quick, flickering riff felt like an invitation for conversation, exactly the kind of thing he hopes to find in such a sprint. “My dream with composing, really, is to have something to talk about once we’re together,” he says. “It’s not the end-all, be-all.” Hearing what the quartet created with the piece in the studio is like watching a pot of water boil and observing not the chaos but the order, the way every molecule is pushing against the other with purpose.

That is the spirit of Scenes from Above, Lage’s second full-length album with the producer Joe Henry and his first with this striking quartet. Where 2024’s Speak to Me was Lage’s grand statement as an improvising bandleader capable of helming a relatively large ensemble through a diverse set of tunes, Scenes from Above is about being a band member himself, about Lage exploring the tunes he has written with a crew he has built with that entirely in mind. Its nine tracks frame a brilliantly open experience, with four astounding players giving and taking space in equal measure as they explore these songs in one space, in real time.

Una Mas y La Cha Cha Halloween Edition!!!!

The members and music of Una Mas y La ChaCha reflect the diversity of Santa Fe – the Indigenous, the descendants of Spanish and Mexican families and multigenerational Anglos residents; and cumbias, boleros, flamenco, 70’s Chicano funk and eclectic covers with the band’s unique spin that they call Northern New Mexico soul music.

With a rock-solid rhythm section featuring bassist Brian Shannon, percussionists Adrian Trate and David Gomez supporting the soaring leads of guitarist and band founder D’Santi Nava, and the soulful vocals of Trate and la Cha Cha Krystle Lucero, Una Mas can deliver an intimate performance in a cozy venue that draws in the listener to rocking out before a crowd of thousands at large public events.

An Una Mas show is a night of passion and heritage that has crowds clearing out a dance space for a set of songs by Selena, listening respectfully to a hymn for Quetzalcoatl, or gazing in rapt attention as Nava, “el Brujo,” furiously works the fretboard. To hear Una Mas y la Cha Cha is to be present in a moment that weaves threads of time, genres, and peoples.

JAY WEBB
Jay Webb writes songs that hit like a gut punch. Raised between the backroads of North Alabama and the city in the south, music was how he made sense of the chaos around him. What started as a way to process a turbulent childhood quickly became his purpose — gritty storytelling over genre-blurring beats, delivered with zero filter. He started cutting demos in high school and never stopped, releasing track after track on his own and building a following from the ground up. His lyrics cut deep, his voice carries the scars and his sound refuses to stay in one lane. Webb doesn’t clean up the mess — he leans into it, and has a good time doing it.

Pulling from a wide range of influences, he pairs the weight of Johnny Cash and Hank Williams with the edge of Juice WRLD and Post Malone. It’s not traditional country — and he doesn’t want it to be. He calls it “music for real people with real problems,” and his fans know exactly what that means. In 2022, a viral TikTok pushed his music to a wider audience. Since then, he’s dropped standout tracks like "" “" and "” racking up over 415M streams and more than 2M fans. Webb is charging forward — not as a trend-chaser, but a truth-teller. And the numbers prove people are listening.

CAITLYNNE CURTIS
Caitlynne Curtis is an American singer-songwriter and rising country/pop artist known for her powerful vocals, emotional storytelling, and genre-blending sound. Residing now South of Nashville, Tennessee, she began singing and performing at a young age, taking voice lessons as a child and knowing early on that music was her passion.

After facing early setbacks — including a rejection from The X Factor — Caitlynne stayed committed to her craft, continuing to write and perform while navigating real-life challenges, including becoming a young mother. She later reignited her career by sharing covers and original music on social media, quickly reconnecting with fans through her raw authenticity.
Her momentum took off after signing with Angels & Outlaws, the independent label led by Struggle Jennings, where she collaborated on the hit song “God We Need You Now.”

Since then, she has released singles such as ‘You Need Jesus”, “Where You Left Off,” “Black Widow,” & “Amen,” and continues to tour and release new music that blends heartfelt country roots with modern pop energy.

RODRIGO Y GABRIELA
Grammy-winning Mexican guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela return with OurHome, a bold new album and global tour that invites audiences into a dreamlike universe of rogue monsters, celestial birds, stardust, savage landscapes, and the search for inner peace. Self-produced in Tokyo, OurHome is both a love letter to Japan and a meditation on what it means to find home within yourself, delivered through the wildly expressive instrumental guitar music that has made Rodrigo Sánchez and Gabriela Quintero one of the most electrifying live acts in the world. For more than two decades, Rodrigo y Gabriela have pushed acoustic guitar into new territory, blending classical, rock, metal, cinematic atmosphere, and spiritual exploration into a sound entirely their own. From their early days busking on Dublin’s Grafton Street, they have gone on to win a GRAMMY Award for Mettavolution, headline Glastonbury, and sell out iconic stages including the Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Royal Albert Hall, Radio City Music Hall, and the Sydney Opera House. On OurHome, the duo returns to the textural beauty of acoustic instrumentation while expanding their world with guests including Marty Friedman and Hiromi. Live, Rodrigo’s lightning-fast lead lines and Gabriela’s hypnotic, hard-hitting rhythms become a pulse-raising journey of stillness, intensity, and unstoppable momentum. For longtime fans and first-timers alike, this is a rare chance to experience two master musicians at their most adventurous, intimate, and powerful.

LIANA FLORES
Liana Flores' story is one of cultural cross-pollination, unlikely chances, and quite possibly a signpost for the evolution of folk music in the digital age.

Raised in rural Norfolk pre-internet ubiquity, the bossa nova CDs belonging to Liana's Brazilian mother were a first glimpse into a musical world beyond Eleanor Rigby on cassette and Gilbert & Sullivan in the village hall.

At 19, she went from building an early listener base with showtune covers in the YouTube era, to penning her own songs. The influences all started coming together, in self-recorded songs combining the harmonic stylings of bossa nova guitar with personal lyrics - often gloomy but persevering, expressing anxieties and depicting the nature in her hometown.

Three years later, one of these unassuming songs, ‘rises the moon’, was uploaded to TikTok without the singer's knowledge and became a surprise hit, spawning countless cover versions before the labels came calling. Nearly a billion streams later, it's arguably a defining folk song of its generation.

After signing to Verve Records, a full-length record, Flower of the soul, followed in 2024. Drawing from sunshine pop, bossa nova and psych folk, and featuring newly polished studio production and a full band, the record marked a metamorphosis from DIY recluse to rising artist with records available in stores all over the world, and a tour spanning UK, Europe, the US, and Asia.

Her latest single, "So it goes" is inspired by classic bossa nova in the vein of Burt Bacharach and Astrud Gilberto, reflecting the pace of city life since moving to London.

ALLIE SANDT
Allie Sandt is In Pursuit of a Good Time—it’s her mantra and the title of her debut album. A New Jersey–based artist, she has earned praise for her “complex and entrancing originals” (New Haven Independent), blending folk, rock, and jazz with a touch of whimsy often compared to Sheryl Crow and Steely Dan. Her breakout single “The Right Time” gained significant traction online, expanding her audience and solidifying her presence as an up-and-coming voice in the indie scene. Sandt brings experience to the stage as a solo artist known for powerful vocals and a disarming sense of humor. Her upcoming run supporting Liana Flores will introduce her music to new audiences across the U.S., pairing intimate songwriting with thoughtfully curated performances.

Tommy Castro & The Painkillers

November 8, 2026

7:30 pm - 10:30 pm

DOORS: 6:30pm • 21+ without parent or guardian

TOMMY CASTRO & THE PAINKILLERS


Multiple award-winning, California-based blues and rock sensation Tommy Castro is the guitar slinging, soul-singing leader of the telepathically tight and wildly raucous Tommy Castro & The Painkillers. He’s released 17 previous albums over the course of his four-decade career.

Each release features its own individual sound and style, ranging from horn-fueled R&B to piping hot blues and soul to fiery, stripped-down rock ‘n’ roll. With his new album, Closer To The Bone, Castro has returned to his roots, delivering what he calls “a real blues record, the way they would have made them back in the day.”

Closer To The Bone is the most unvarnished, straight-ahead blues release of Castro’s career, one that bristles with every ounce of his dynamic energy and raw emotion.On Closer To The Bone (Castro’s 8th Alligator release), Castro and his Painkillers—bassist Randy McDonald, keyboardist Mike Emerson and drummer Bowen Brown—mix new Castro originals (Ain’t Worth The Heartache, Can’t Catch A Break, Crazy Woman Blues) with songs originally performed by many of Castro’s friends and heroes. Artists and their songs include Johnny Nitro (One More Night, on which Castro plays his treasured 1966 black Fender Stratocaster, a guitar once owned by Nitro himself), Magic Slim (Hole In The Wall), Ron Thompson (Freight Train), Mike Duke (Keep Your Dog Inside) and Chris Cain (Woke Up And Smelled The Coffee).

Castro additionally chose obscure songs by Wynonie Harris (Bloodshot Eyes), Eddie Taylor (Stroll Out West), Jimmy Nolen (The Way You Do) and Johnny “Guitar” Watson (She Moves Me). According to Castro,

“These are not the obvious artists people generally cover, and that was most definitely on purpose.”Closer To The Bone was produced by master guitarist and studio wizard Christoffer “Kid” Andersen (producer of over 100 albums), at his now-famous Greaseland Studio in San Jose, California. Closer To The Bone finds Castro at the top of his game, bringing his seemingly limitless energy and boundless talent to the studio. Guests on the album include labelmates Andersen, Rick Estrin, Chris Cain and Billy Branch, along with saxophone player/vocalist Deanna Bogart, keyboard wizard Jim Pugh and, on three songs, the voices of The Sons Of The Soul Revivers.

Born in San Jose, California in 1955, Tommy Castro first picked up a guitar at age 10. He fell under the spell of six-string stars like Elvin Bishop, Taj Mahal and Mike Bloomfield. Almost every major rock and soul act, from Ike and Tina Turner to Janis Joplin to Tower Of Power, toured through the area, and Castro was at every show. He saw John Lee Hooker, Albert King, and Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at a local club, JJ’s Blues Bar.

Castro often jammed at JJ’s, dreaming of busting out and making a name for himself. He created his own personal sound and style by mixing the blues, R&B and funk music he loved into his own, instantly recognizable brand of uplifting, soul-healing music. As his reputation spread, Tommy played in several Bay Area bands, quickly making a name for himself as a hotter-than-hot live artist bursting at the seams with talent. In 1985, he became lead singer and guitarist for the regionally popular blues band NiteCry before joined popular Warner Brothers’ artists The Dynatones, gigging all over the country. He formed the first Tommy Castro Band in 1992 and has not stopped touring since.

In 1995, soon after releasing their first album on Blind Pig Records, The Tommy Castro Band were selected as the house band for three seasons on NBC Television’s Comedy Showcase (airing right after Saturday Night Live). The show brought Tommy in front of millions of viewers every week and cemented his reputation as a not-to-be-missed live performer. After a series of successful releases on the Blind Pig, Telarc and 33rd Street labels, Tommy Castro joined Alligator Records in 2009.

His label debut, Hard Believer, launched to massive popular and critical acclaim. 2011 saw the release of the raucous Tommy Castro Presents The Legendary Rhythm & Blues Revue—Live!. In 2014, Castro & The Painkillers released The Devil You Know, followed by Method To My Madness in 2015, Stompin’ Ground in 2017, and the irresistible Killin’ It—Live in 2019.

With 2021’s A Bluesman Came To Town, Castro told the story of a young musician’s journey through the blues world. AllMusic said the album was “a towering achievement.”Castro received his fourth prestigious and coveted Blues Music Award for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year in 2023. He’s taken home a total of 10 Blues Music Awards and is among the genre’s most decorated artists.

Castro’s relentless road-dog approach—gig after gig, 150 nights a year—continues to earn him loyal, lifelong fans everywhere he plays. The Washington Post says Castro is “phenomenal and funky” with “soulful vocals and inspired blues guitar.”

Famed guitarist Joe Bonamassa says, “Tommy has always been top of the heap among blues guitar players. He always puts on a great show.”Tommy Castro & The Painkillers’ deceptively simple approach on Closer To The Bone delivers one thrilling performance after another. Says Castro, “Here, I’m not the contemporary guy, not the rock guy, not the soul guy.

This is the deeper blues side of me. I know, with these songs, I am at my most authentic.”GA-20
Since 2018, GA-20 has been at the forefront of a traditional Blues revival. The dynamic throwback trio have long been disciples of the place where traditional Blues, Country and Rock ‘n’ Roll intersect. “We make records that we would want to listen to,” says guitarist Matt Stubbs. “It’s our take on the song-based traditional electric Blues we love.” Stubbs, along with guitarist & vocalist Cody Nilsen and drummer Josh Kiggans, strive to bring traditional Blues to the front lines of the modern roots music scene.

“The focus for us has always been on the story, the melody, and on creating a mood,” Stubbs continues. “Traditional Country and Soul have all had these massive recent revivals. We want to be part of doing that for traditional Blues music.” GA-20 has drawn inspiration for their old-school sounds from the music they love by artists such as Otis Rush, J.B. Lenoir, Howlin’ Wolf, Junior Wells, Hound Dog Taylor, Earl Hooker, Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson and so many others.

Performing with what feels like reckless abandon, GA-20 brings a timeless immediacy to every song they play with a sound that continues to grow and evolve. The band uses vintage instruments and amps to produce their authentic sound, and favours traditional recording techniques, like recording live off the floor together in one room, to help recreate that energy and sonic connection.

In their short history, GA-20 have been 3x #1 Billboard Blues chart toppers, 4x Boston Music Award winners for Best Blues Act, and have received multiple wins and nominations at the Blues Music Awards, Blues Blast Awards, New England Blues Awards, and have ascended streaming and radio charts at home and internationally. Medium.com has appropriately declared, “This is the kind of music that travels through time while taking from the era where it was born and turning it into something fresh. Dirty and raw…timeless and modern.”---TICKETS

GILLA BAND
Giraffe is the first new music from Gilla Band in nearly 4 years. This follows their critically acclaimed 3rd album Most Normal which Pitchfork described in a best new music review as “a masterpiece of panic and deconstruction”. Live The Guardian described the band’s set as feeling “genuinely dangerous, like one last rave before the apocalypse, and as perfect an expression of rock’n’roll’s essential auto-destructive impulse as this writer’s ever heard”

For over ten years now, the Dublin quartet — vocalist Dara Kiely, guitarist Alan Duggan Borges, bassist Daniel Fox, and drummer Adam Faulkner — have been redefining what you could loosely call “rock music” in the 21st century, influencing a wide swath of similarly forward-thinking guitar acts along the way. The band perfected a vision that wasn’t quite post-punk, wasn’t quite noise-rock, wasn’t quite anything besides an idiosyncratic, ground-breaking hybrid that could only come from the four of them - Giraffe is their bold new offering.

PUMA BLUE
If you knew how and when you were going to die, how would it change the way you choose to live? Croak Dream, the new album from Puma Blue, is a ruminative exploration of that very notion, as well as a celebration of rebirth. Written in solitude and brought to life in collaboration, Croak Dream was conjured from tape loop sessions at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, co-produced and engineered by Sam Petts-Davies (The Smile, Frank Ocean), where the band improvised to fragments of Allen’s songs they’d never fully heard. The result is a dreamlike collage of baritone sax-drenched ballads and restless grooves: tender, feverish, and alive. Conceptually-the album reflects on the interlocking nature of past, present and future, with Allen tackling questions of fate, vulnerability and transformation in provocative new ways. Musically, Croak Dream charts a new path for Puma Blue, fusing lo-fi jazz balladry with jungle breaks, krautrock textures and trip-hop atmosphere, balancing bold sonic experimentation with raw emotional clarity.

SLOTHRUST TICKETS

Slothrust is the brainchild of singer/guitarist Leah Wellbaum and drummer Will Gorin — a duo approaching a decade since their fiercely innovative debut Of Course You Do. The band first bonded over a shared love of blues and jazz and have since continued to create rock the way they know best, moving it forward with an expansive and unconventional lean.

Since their debut, Slothrust have supported acts like Manchester Orchestra, Front Bottoms, and Highly Suspect and built a large touring audience for their visceral live performances. For five seasons, their track “7:30 AM” was featured as the theme song for FX Series “You’re the Worst.” In 2021 the band released their four record Parallel Timeline, a cosmic, emotionally charged EP that dug deep into questions of identity, time, and perception.

In 2023, Slothrust surprised fans with a bold, slow-burning cover of Ginuwine’s “Pony,” reimagining the ’90s R&B classic through a smoky, rock-laced lens. Equal parts sexy, strange, and groovy, the cover signaled a new chapter — one rooted in experimentation and unexpected collisions of genre.

That journey continues with their newest single “Wild Card,” a standalone release produced with Willy Beaman, who’s worked with the likes of Demi Lovato, Kelly Rowland, and Sky Ferreira. Leaning deeper into an R&B-rock hybrid, the track is hypnotic, pairing slinky summertime grooves with heavy low-end and Wellbaum’s signature vocal magnetism.

NICK SHOULDERS
Refugia Blues, the fifth album from Nick Shoulders, is a record of big ideas and small, intimate moments.

These nine songs are rooted in the stylings of Southern traditional music. Sparse, timeless, and unamplified, they're older than the sounds Shoulders saluted on albums like 2023's All Bad, with its loud, whooping anthems for roadhouses and sweaty dancehalls. Here, Shoulders isn't shouting over a band. He isn't bringing a crowd to its feet with dance-ready tempos. Rather, he's exploring another side of his craft by stepping up to a ribbon microphone as a solo performer, delivering each song with acoustic instruments and a voice that's equal parts country croon, Appalachian yodel, and high-lonesome field holler. As he explains it, Refugia Blues isn't just a call to action; it's a call to rest, too.

"This is my Nebraska," he says, nodding to Bruce Springsteen's lo-fi acoustic record from 1982. "Some people listen to Bruce for the E Street Band and the big radio hits, but I like the intimacy and rawness of Nebraska instead. I'd like to think of Refugia Blues as a little window into the heart, as opposed to the drumbeat of a revolution."

Even so, Refugia Blues resolutely pushes for change. Shoulders' interpretation of American roots music has always been more progressive and punky than the trucks-and-beers conservatism that passes for modern-day country, and he isn't checking his activism at the door anytime soon. Refugia Blues does dive into personal territory, from "Bored Fightin'" (a self-effacing look at Shoulders' reputation as a left-of-center radical) to the heart-on-sleeve love song "Tatum Spring," but it balances the micro with the macro, too. Topics like climate collapse, radical anthropology, generative disruption, and southern identity run throughout the record, adding weight to Shoulders' melodies, balancing his witty humor with topical weight. The purpose, he says, is to utilize his music as "a Trojan Horse that can be accepted by people who don’t hear anything to challenge their sense of comfort and superiority. That's always been the goal — to say what needs to be said, but to intersperse it with joy, humor, and melody."

At once academic and accessible, Refugia Blues isn't just a deep dive into southernness, but also into Shoulders himself. Released during an era of big-budget country-pop smashes, it stands tall as something else entirely: a raw, resolute version of American country music, punctuated with humor and heavy insights, stacked high with songs that go down easy but linger in the minds of those willing to invest the time.

And the youngest of the family, Victor, the brother who learned from all his older brothers, has been named by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the ten greatest bass players of all time.

As a family band, they are second to none. The Brothers' music bends and defines genres; amplifies centuries, and spans continents.
The Wooten Brothers began in R&B before evolving as teens into Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Classical and Country. Then, they emerged in 1985 on Arista records with an album called, "The Wootens", that combined Electronic, Funk, Soul, Disco, and Boogie—and offered only a sliver of the Wooten whole.
The Wooten whole is all of that…and classical, and jazz, and country, and Rock-and-Roll.

Connecting a musically deep past to musical future, the Wooten Brothers explode genres and build bridges across genres. Bar by bar, in live performances and on recordings, they provide an exhilarating ‘connects-you-to-the-center-of-the-universe’ sound.

Chimayo: Good Friday Walk, A Tradition of Faith

Chimayo: Good Friday Walk, A Tradition of Faith

New Mexico History Museum presents the exhibition “Chimayó: A Tradition of Faith,” on display April 12, 2025, to May 31, 2027, exploring the history and enduring spiritual significance of the Santuario de Chimayó’s annual pilgrimage.

A public reception hosted by the Museum of New Mexico Foundation Women’s Board will be held on Saturday, April 26, 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

The exhibition captures the essence of the pilgrimage through the lens of four photographers. Sam Howarth made the pilgrimage to Chimayó many times and initiated the documentation of this living tradition in 1996. He invited photographers Miguel Gandert, Oscar Lozoya, and Cary Herz to participate, along with oral historians Dr. Enrique R. Lamadrid and Troy Fernández. Howarth received a grant from the New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities to support this project.

The Santuario de Chimayó draws the largest religious pilgrimage in the US during Christian Holy Week. More than 30,000 people make the annual journey through the winding mountain villages of Northern New Mexico to the small adobe church. Many come to obtain the famous healing “holy earth” within the sanctuary.

“All are welcome on the pilgrimage. Young children, adults, and the elderly walk to the Santuario de Chimayó from as far away as Albuquerque or Santa Fe to remember family members who have passed away, in search of blessings and miracles, and to obtain the famous healing ‘holy earth,’” says Cathy Notarnicola, Curator of Southwest History. “All are united in spirit as they traverse their way across the landscape to the Santuario de Chimayó.”

“Chimayó: A Tradition of Faith” also features a recreation of the Santuario’s ex-voto rooms. These rooms and spaces, where pilgrims leave offerings, feature a diverse collection of meaningful objects, from paintings and prints of santos to photographs, letters, locks of hair, military dog tags, and crutches, all testaments to the faith and hope that draw people to Chimayó.

While the sanctuary has been a meaningful place for Christians, its history as a sacred place goes back to time immemorial. The word Chimayó, derived from the Native Tewa term Tsi-Mayoh, was given by Pueblo Indians, who used the area as a healing site long before the arrival of Spanish colonists.

Turnadot

“What is like ice, but burns?” In a mythical past, a decree states that Princess Turandot must ask her suitors three riddles. Those who fail will be executed. Will anyone succeed and melt the Princess’s heart?

Music By: Giacomo Puccini

Libretto By: Giuseppe Adami and Renato Simoni

Sung in: Italian

ACT I

In a public square in ancient Peking, a mandarin announces Princess Turandot’s decree: any prince of noble blood may seek her hand in marriage by answering three riddles — but failure means death. The latest suitor, the Prince of Persia, is to be executed at moonrise.

Amid the crowd, an elderly blind man is knocked to the ground, and his companion, a young woman named Liù, calls out for help. The stranger who comes to their aid turns out to be Prince Calàf — who recognizes the old man as his father, Timur, the exiled King of Tartary. When Turandot appears to confirm the Persian prince’s death sentence with a silent gesture, Calàf is instantly captivated by her beauty. Despite desperate pleas from Timur, Liù, and the three ministers Ping, Pang and Pong to withdraw his claim, he strikes the great gong — announcing himself as the next suitor.

ACT II

Ping, Pang and Pong wearily prepare the imperial court for either a wedding or a funeral, lamenting the many noble lives already lost and the harsh conditions under Turandot’s reign. Then Princess Turandot enters and addresses the assembled crowd, explaining that her riddles are an act of revenge for her ancestress Lo-u-Ling, a princess who was raped and murdered by invading forces.

The trial begins. Calàf answers all three riddles correctly. Shaken, Turandot begs her father, the Emperor Altoum, not to give her to this unknown stranger. Calàf, moved by her distress, offers her a wager of his own: if she can discover his name before dawn, he will accept death; if not, she must marry him.

ACT III

Turandot decrees that no one in Peking shall sleep until the prince’s name is found, on pain of death. Calàf waits alone, defiantly confident in the famous aria “Nessun Dorma.”

When imperial guards seize Timur and Liù, the devoted Liù declares that she alone knows the prince’s name — and will never reveal it. Even under torture she does not break, and rather than betray Calàf, she seizes a dagger and takes her own life. Her sacrifice moves Turandot deeply, for the first time piercing her cold resolve.

Provoked by Liù’s suicide, Calàf confronts Turandot — the “Princess of Death” — in a fiery duet. At first, she is unrepentant, but when he embraces and kisses her, something in her is transformed. He then reveals his name freely, placing his life in her hands. At dawn, before the Emperor and the assembled court, Turandot makes her declaration: the stranger’s name is Love.

The Barber of Seville

“Figaro, Figaro, FI-GA-RO!” The Count is in love with Rosina, who is being forced to wed old Doctor Bartolo. Can his wily barber Figaro help him get the girl? Power relations get turned upside down in this tunefully hilarious comedy which returns in a beloved revival.

Music By: Gioachino Rossini

Libretto By: Cesare Sterbini

Sung In: Italian

ACT I

Count Almaviva, grandee of Spain, has seen a beautiful girl on the Prado in Madrid and has followed her to Seville. By chance he meets his former valet Figaro in front of her house, and learns she is the ward of the grumpy old Doctor Bartolo. Count Almaviva enlists Figaro’s help — for a handsome fee, of course — in freeing the lovely and spirited Rosina from her cage. He sings under her window, telling her he is the poor student Lindoro.

The ever-inventive Figaro suggests sending the Count into the household disguised as a drunken soldier.

Rosina is determined to meet and conquer her suitor, despite Bartolo’s controlling ways and his equal determination to marry her expeditiously. When Figaro convinces her that she is indeed the beloved of his poor cousin “Lindoro,” she gives him a letter to take to the boy.

Meanwhile, Don Basilio, the music teacher, gets wind of the arrival of Count Almaviva in Seville, and warns Bartolo that they must spread some evil rumor about the Count to drive him away lest he come courting their girl.

The Count comes courting indeed, demanding lodging and letting the astonished Rosina know with a wink that he’s beneath the military disguise. Bartolo refuses to billet him. The “soldier” becomes enraged. The police arrive to arrest him, but Count Almaviva secretly shows them proof of his identity and he is released, to the amazement of all.

ACT II

Bartolo is lost in thought. Might the soldier have been a spy? A visitor enters and introduces himself as “Don Alonso” (Count Almaviva), arriving to give the girl a music lesson in place of Don Basilio, who he says is ill. “Alonso” gains Bartolo’s confidence by showing him a letter written by Rosina to the Count, and offering to tell her that a mistress of Count Almaviva’s gave it to him, as a way to dissuade the girl from her crush. Rosina comes out reluctantly, but again recognizing “Lindoro” beneath the disguise, is suddenly delighted to sing for the visiting teacher.

Figaro enters, ready to shave and trim Bartolo, and contriving to get a key to Rosina’s balcony. But who should then appear but Don Basilio, in perfect health. Count Almaviva hastens the course of his illness with a quick bribe, and the others shoo him out. The Count whispers to Rosina that he and Figaro will come at midnight to whisk her away to wedded bliss. Bartolo overhears and, realizing he’s been tricked again, chases them all out in a fury.

Later Bartolo shows Rosina her own note, telling her the Count is merely toying with her. Rosina, thunderstruck, discloses the escape plan and agrees to marry Bartolo after all. At midnight, during a thunderstorm, Figaro and the Count arrive for the elopement, and a livid Rosina confronts them. It’s “Lindoro” she wanted, nothing to do with “your vile Count Almaviva.” The “vile” one reveals himself, and the three are overjoyed — but their joy turns to panic when Figaro realizes the ladder by which they entered has been moved. The doctor has foiled their escape.

A notary enters, followed by Basilio, who after another friendly financial inducement from the Count, agrees to serve as wedding witness. By the time Bartolo rushes back in, the deed is done, the girl has become a Countess and the dowry is the doctor’s to keep.

Così fan tutte

How much would you bet on human nature? Set in a casino in 1920s France, Don Alfonso wagers his two young friends that their fiancées will cheat on them by the end of the day. All bets are off in a fresh production of this comedic masterpiece, where speculation — financial and romantic — always entails risk.

Music By: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Libretto By: Lorenzo da Ponte

ACT I

Best buddies Ferrando and Guglielmo are boasting about their respective girlfriends, the sisters Dorabella and Fiordiligi. Their older friend, the cynical casino manager Don Alfonso, scorns their naivete, claiming that there’s no such thing as a faithful woman and that he can prove it in one day’s time. Don Alfonso seizes a timely opportunity and the three friends agree to a wager based on an elaborate prank, where Ferrando and Guglielmo will pretend that they’ve been called abroad to look after their investments, as a result of the Wall Street Crash. After a sham farewell, they will return in disguise as lifeguards and woo each other’s girlfriend. The bettors are confident and Don Alfonso is covertly gleeful as he breaks the sad news of the boys’ departure to Dorabella and Fiordiligi, who have been extolling their boyfriends’ merits. The mood darkens as they watch their lovers depart. Will the ruse be more than the boys ever bargained for?

With their lovers gone, the sisters feel lonely and despondent. Head of Housekeeping, Despina, who happens to be Don Alfonso’s wily sidekick, offers a remedy: simply take new lovers until the boys are back, as soldiers do while they are away. Outraged, they reject her advice. Meanwhile, the boyfriends return dressed as lifeguards. They swear passionate love to the girls, but get nowhere with this approach. Their mates’ intransigence heartens them.

With the sisters moping and pining, Despina agrees to help Don Alfonso with the ruse. Suddenly Ferrando and Guglielmo burst in with even more exaggerated romantic gestures and threaten suicide if Fiordiligi and Dorabella continue to refuse their love.   The boys pretend to drink poison and Despina, disguised as a physician, administers phony medical treatment. Though moved by their desperate actions, the sisters refuse even to kiss the disguised pranksters. But is their resolve weakening?

ACT II

In the wake of their previous medical misadventure, the four lovers converse awkwardly with their switched partners. When Ferrando leaves with Fiordiligi, Guglielmo grows more amorous with Dorabella, whose resistance weakens. Before long, they exchange tokens of love. When Ferrando learns that Dorabella’s faithfulness is compromised, he is enraged. Guglielmo’s sympathy gives way to gloating.

Dorabella confesses her lapse to her sister, who is alarmed. Wondering how she can hold out, Fiordiligi decides to go in search of Guglielmo abroad. Her resolve seems firm, but before she can leave, Ferrando arrives and pursues her more urgently. She finally relents. The triumphant Ferrando turns earlier gloating back on the now-distraught Guglielmo as the jaded Alfonso, having won his bet, crows that “Così fan tutte”—”Women are like that.”

A sham double-wedding is staged for the sisters’ final entrapment; Despina, disguised as a notary, officiates. Soon, Alfonso confirms the sisters’ worst fears: Ferrando and Guglielmo are returning from their travels. When they arrive and profess their steadfast love, Alfonso unveils the faked marriage contract, revealing the prank to the hapless Fiordiligi and Dorabella. In a final ensemble, the opera’s principals agree that they’ve gained wisdom from their experience, but the moral lesson is up to the observer to decide.

Of One Blood

Though buried side by side in Westminster Abbey, Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots — cousins “of one blood” — never met in life.

Their intertwined reigns ignited a ruthless clash of faith and power that ended in Mary’s execution by Elizabeth’s command.

ACT I

From the mausoleum where Mary, Queen of Scots rests beside her cousin, Elizabeth I of England, we hear the words of the poem Mary wrote on the eve of her execution — praying for everlasting joy after the punishment she received on earth.

In life, in 1561 Edinburgh, the young Queen Mary is praised by her five ladies-in-waiting, who also profess their dislike for her arrogant husband, Lord Darnley. Mary is expecting her first child, and when the royal couple bicker, her Italian secretary and confidante, David Rizzio, defends her, enraging the jealous Darnley. In a fit of anger, Darnley stabs Rizzio to death in front of the horrified Mary, who laments the death and implies that the Protestant English Queen, her cousin Elizabeth, might be aligned with Darnley and behind his murdering of the Catholic Rizzio.

Elizabeth’s five English Lords advise her to be wary of her cousin and Scottish neighbor. Though Elizabeth denies any danger, conflict is apparent when both she and Mary claim rights to the English throne.

Mary delivers a healthy son and delights in motherhood but has lost all affection for her husband and wants to be free of him. Two Scottish Lords suggest he could be eliminated; while not specifically agreeing, Mary indicates consent. The Scottish Lords trap Darnley and murder him. Upon learning this news from Scotland, Elizabeth is furious and asks Mary to prove herself innocent of involvement in the second murder. Townsfolk in Scotland, believing Mary responsible for her husband’s death, rise in opposition and drive her from her country. Escaping to England, she believes Elizabeth will offer her refuge. She is shocked to be arrested by English soldiers.

ACT II

Nineteen years pass with the imprisoned Mary powerless and isolated in England. She receives word from her son James, now Scotland’s King, rejecting her wish to return to Scotland to rule beside him. Despairing, she again asserts her claim to the English crown. Elizabeth’s Lords warn the English Queen to be wary of her captive cousin, who has Catholic Europe behind her. Elizabeth feels trapped by the threat Mary represents. When Mary agrees to a Catholic plot to escape and have Elizabeth assassinated, her note agreeing to the conspiracy is intercepted. A devastated Elizabeth feels she must prosecute Mary for treason and wishes instead that they might have been ‘but two milkmaids’ instead of rival rulers with two opposing religions.

Mary is brought to trial and argues that God alone may be her judge. She is found guilty and sentenced to death. Elizabeth, tormented, reluctantly signs the death warrant. Mary enters the execution chamber where a public audience, the English Lords, and her own Ladies-in-waiting are assembled. She forgives the executioner and faces her execution courageously, reciting a Latin prayer. Elizabeth is fraught.

In the mausoleum and from the afterlife, joined by Elizabeth, Mary recites the poem written on the eve of her execution asking that after her punishment on earth, she might have everlasting joy.

ACT I

In a Russian town on the Volga, the teacher Váňa admires a view of the river. Such poetic musings don’t register with two of Váňa’s neighbors, the merchant Dikój, whose name means “wild beast” and his nephew Boris. Dikoj is infuriated by Boris’s urbane style, and asks the servant, Glascha, about the whereabouts of the stern matriarch Kabanicha, with whom he has an ambiguous relationship. When he learns that she is not at home, he storms off, leaving Boris alone with his friend Váňa to explain his tolerance of Dikoj’s bullying. It all comes down to money. Dikoj controls Boris’s inheritance, so Boris is obliged to tolerate Dikoj’s relentless abuse.

Observing the Kabanovs’ return from Vespers, Boris reveals to Váňa his unspoken love for Kátya, wife of the much older Tichon, the Kabanicha’s downtrodden son.  Vanya warns him about interfering in such a highly repressive household, and the two men run off. Kabanicha berates Tichon for his lack of attentiveness. He and Kátya attempt to placate her.  Later, when Tichon complains about his mother’s treatment of his wife, Varvara, the Kabanicha’s young ward, is less than sympathetic, asserting that Tichon would rather drink away his troubles than defend his wife.

Recounting happy childhood memories to Varvara, Kátya admits that of late she has experienced strange and disturbing erotic fantasies. Before she can say more, Tichon interrupts to take his leave on a business trip, and Kátya — sensing her own vulnerability — begs him not to go, or to bring her along. He declines and leaves, reminding his wife to treat Kabanicha with respect.

ACT II

Kabanicha criticizes Kátya for not demonstrating her grief over Tichon’s absence more visibly. When she leaves, Varvara tells Kátya that she has plans to meet her boyfriend Vǎná, and hints that Kátya might do likewise.

Kátya, overwhelmed by her domestic frustrations and her sense of fate’s inevitability, decides to meet Boris.

When he arrives with his friend Váňa and declares his love, Kátya surrenders to him despite deep misgivings. Meanwhile Dikoj, patently drunk, arrives to visit Kabanicha and urges her to beat him for his sins.

At the climax of the love scene between Boris and Kátya, we see Varvara and Váňa together on the river bank, and Varvara is talking about the unsavory relations between Dikoj and Kabanicha.

At the center-point of the opera, three couples are present: the passionate and illicitly romantic, the care-free and easy-going youth and the perverse elders.

ACT III

Ten days have passed. Váňa and a friend walk along the river. A sudden storm arrives and they take shelter in a ruined building decorated with frescoes of hell and damnation.  

Váňa tries to explain to Dikoj that lightning is an electrical phenomenon, but Dikoj insists that it is the wrath of God. Varvara tells Boris that she is alarmed by Kátya’s hysterical frame of mind now that Tichon has returned. When Kátya and Tichon arrive with Kabanicha,

Kátya is clearly agitated. The weather has again turned violent, and in Kátya’s mind it is a sign from God of her guilt.  As the storm breaks loose she confesses that during Tichon’s absence she spent her nights with Boris.

That evening, as Tichon searches for Kátya, Varvara and Váňa decide to seek a different future in Moscow. Kátya returns in despair, believing she has dishonored herself and Boris. After a last embrace with him, she is bewildered and can see no possibility for her own future. She throws herself into the Volga.

Tichon reviles Kabanicha for Kátya’s fate, but Kabanicha, disciplined and controlled to the end, merely thanks the people for their help in recovering Katya’s corpse.

The Midnight

The Midnight

The Midnight is an American synthwave band composed of Atlanta-based singer-songwriter Tyler Lyle and Portland-based Danish producer, songwriter, and singer Tim McEwan.

The band's motto is "mono no aware" (物の哀れ), a Japanese phrase that loosely translates to "a sense of nostalgic wistfulness and the awareness that nothing lasts forever"

The band was formed as a result of Lyle and McEwan meeting during a co-writing workshop in 2012 in North Hollywood, Los Angeles. Inspired in part by the score for Drive, and the retro synth genre growing around its release, the pair wrote two singles, "WeMoveForward" and "Gloria", that would be released two years later in 2014 as part of their debut EP titled Days of Thunder.

The Midnight announced a deluxe version of Syndicate with six additional songs was releasing on May 15, 2026. The expanded album features new songs, unreleased demos, and remixes including their latest single "Love Is an Ocean (Chromeo Remix)". They are here tonight to support this new album.

Robert Plant at Santa Fe Opera SOLD OUT

Robert Plant at Santa Fe Opera SOLD OUT

ROBERT PLANT WITH SAVING GRACE AND SUZI DIAN

Though Robert Plant is, literally and figuratively, the biggest name on the cover art for Saving Grace, he would be the first to say that the album is very much a group effort, with its title also serving as this new band’s moniker. The group members were drawn together by a shared love of roots music both vintage and modern—of blues, folk, gospel, country and those tantalizing sounds that lay in between. Like Plant, they’re keen to explore how these genres are evolving as well as to discover where these repertoires originated—and how collectively they could reinvigorate the music they loved.

This sensibility is reflected in the songs that made it to the final track listing, from familiar traditional numbers like the plaintive “I Never Will Marry;” the African-American spiritual “Gospel Plough;” and “Chevrolet,” which Donovan had adapted into his “Hey Gyp (Dig the Slowness)” back in 1965 to beautifully rendered outliers like Providence, RI trio The Low Anthem’s haunting “The Ticket Taker;” revered indie-rock duo Low’s epic “Everybody’s Song;” and Moby Grape’s pastoral “It’s A Beautiful Day Today.” Plant, who produced the album with the band, rarely claims center stage, most often sharing vocals with co-billed singer Suzi Dian and sometimes ceding the mic to her entirely. On Blind Willie Johnson’s “The Soul of a Man,” guitarist-banjo player Matt Worley takes the lead, with Dian and Plant serving as backup.

Despite Plant’s iconic status as an artist since his days with Led Zeppelin, Saving Grace managed to start out in 2019, casually and somewhat discreetly, as a local project. The players had been working collaboratively for barely a year, even serving as an unheralded opening act on a handful of dates with Fairport Convention when the pandemic intervened and any formal plans to tour or release music were temporarily shelved. That turned out to be less setback than serendipity.  It allowed Saving Grace time to gestate, to find a collective voice.

Once Covid protocols permitted, they began to record informally in a barn set-up and sometimes outdoors, hanging microphones in the trees; when the doors to clubs and concert halls opened once again, they booked themselves without fanfare into local venues. There were no press releases, not even a website. Only the evocative image of the lone bison that is now used on the album cover and as a backdrop for their shows.

Plant was clearly no stranger to this music: He’d already received great acclaim for his brilliant, unexpected and Grammy Award-winning foray into roots music with singer and fiddler Alison Krauss—“the queen of Champaign,” as he calls her—and, before that, alongside Patty Griffin and Buddy Miller, in his 2010 version of Band of Joy. But those were his American cohorts. Until Saving Grace, Plant had never found such like-minded collaborators when he came home to the Welsh borderlands. As Plant says, “It’s an impressive collection of people now. I can’t tell you how lucky I feel about this.”

It all began down the pub, in the sort of place where one might have discovered a common thread, a shared passion, with another stranger-turned-new friend before the internet and algorithms took over. As Plant explains, “I came back one time and there was this guy, Matty Worley, a big guy who plays cuatro, two different strung banjos, and acoustic guitar. Thanks to his father, he had been following the Ian Campbell Folk Group, Peggy Seeger, and the people who worked alongside her.

“I met him in a bar, I didn’t know him, but he was very forward and what he wanted to know all about was my relationship with the Incredible String Band. He was eager to know how much I had to do with Dave Swarbrick and Sandy Denny and suddenly we were talking about a world I really loved, that I had been attached to since I first started out, playing washboard in a delta blues band in 1963. He had a vast arsenal of points of reference. I started to get to know Matt and his energy and his knowledge and then his dexterity as a player. It seemed to me I’d found some sort of conversation. I started sharing some songs out of the thousands of songs I’ve yet to put out, and we said, ‘Let’s see what we can do with this.’”

Plant suggested bringing along guitarist Tony Kelsey, “a remarkable guitarist who played around in a lot of different musical set ups. At one time, he was a member of The Move, in one of its many incarnations. We started playing together, shuffling this stuff around and seeing where it would go. And it was really good. But the thing is, I said, ‘I don’t want to be on the sharp end.’ I always talk about singers holding up the sharp end of a performance. I knew I needed another voice on a lot of these songs. Where was the female voice? Where was the sweetness on top of my register? I knew about Suzi; she had her own band, and she is a great singer. I suggested she come along and have a listen to some of the songs I liked. She has spent quite a bit of time teaching, running classes and instructing teachers on how to bring kids forward in music. She’s as sensitive and equally as delicate. She had no premonitions at bringing these songs into the world.”

Krauss had schooled Plant on how to sing harmonies, and the lessons stuck: “She’s taught me so much. It was a beautiful coming together with two radically different voices and the harmonic swell of it. I was given a crash course in listening to other singing; it has been a major moment in my life as a singer. It’s extraordinary what that did for me, and what Alison has done and what she will remain and still do somewhere down the line.”

After trying out a conventional drummer, Plant turned to Dian’s husband, Oli Jefferson: “He had a more polyrhythmic approach; we discussed the whole deal of where I really want to take my music. There’s nothing particularly obscure about what we present on this record. It’s just a different way of doing it.”

The sound of Saving Grace at times incorporates elements of the hypnotic, droning grooves that distinguished Plant’s larger, electric combo, the Sensational Space Shifters, who backed the singer on his prior Nonesuch albums, lullaby…and the Ceaseless Roar and Carry Fire. There are hints of Malian desert blues and psychedelic folk. (With the Space Shifters, Plant notes, “We were playing around with stuff that was an amalgam of things. I like the mélange.”) The sound can seem alluringly mysterious at times, melancholic and foreboding, as on “The Ticket Taker” or “As I Roved Out,” a traditional song performed in an arrangement by fellow Nonesuch artist Sam Amidon, who reassembles folk classics into stark mediations on love and fate. The group takes a tune by North Carolinian singer-songwriter Sarah Siskind, whose work Krauss has also covered, and sneakily transforms it into a folk-rock rave-up. They bring similar drama to Low’s “Everybody’s Song.” “Higher Rock,” by Portland singer-songwriter Martha Scanlan, a one-time member of string band the Reeltime Players, has a simpler, yearning, up-tempo feel, showcasing Dian’s voice.

Cellist Barney Morse-Brown, aka Duotone, rounds off the ensemble, on record and on tour. The group first ventured from their local haunts to Ireland, where, as Plant recounts, “Of course what do you do in Ireland is you laugh, you sing, then you end up in folk clubs, at arts festivals on the west coast off the great wild Atlantic way. That whole folk community, the fiddle and the bodhran. It was so appropriate to the way I felt and have felt since I was a kid, about that area, that quadrant of my musical love.”

Though Plant headlined stadiums in his storied past, now, he admits, “What I am really impressed by is this living, new world of whatever this music is. Last year we played the Cambridge folk festival. With this mélange of music song and voice, anywhere and everywhere is the way to see the road ahead.

“I’m not jaded by this,” Plant says, finally. “It’s been a revelation—the sweetness of this thing. These are really sweet people. They’re playing all the stuff they could never get out before. They’ve become unique stylists and have created a new place for the old dog.”

ROSIE FLORES

Rosie Flores has pioneered a path in male-dominated rock and country scenes into powerful songs she wrote, sang, and performed as a respected lead guitarist. A daughter of San Antonio, this multi-award winning artist has adroitly absorbed and helped preserve the musical legacies of influential Texas musicians as varied as country music’s King of Western Swing Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, blues guitar master T-Bone Walker, and Tex Mex innovator Doug Sahm. In the 1970s, she became one of the most celebrated performers on the “cowpunk” circuit alongside such other rising stars as Dwight Yoakam, Lucinda Williams and Los Lobos.  Rosie’s 1987 debut solo album proved her to be a singer and songwriter of the first rank, and helped lay the foundation for what coalesced into the alt-country movement. Rosie is a 2024 NEA National Heritage Fellow. She is spotlighted in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s exhibition “Western Edge: The Roots & Reverberations of Los Angeles Country-Rock” in Nashville. Her upcoming release with her Austin band Rosie Flores and The Talismen “Impossible Frontiers” is due to drop on all the platforms in fall 2025.

Room On The Porch Tour 2026

with a pre-show party in support of Vital Spaces

September 20, 2026 • 7:00 pm

DOORS 6:00pm • All Ages

---

TAJMO
TajMo - the historic collaboration between two generations of American music masters, Taj Mahal and Keb’ Mo’ – will bring their Room On The Porch Tour back on the road in 2026 with more than 15 live shows across the United States.

Recorded in Nashville with Keb’ and Taj co-producing, the GRAMMY-nominated Room On The Porch finds the pair in peak form, playing to each other’s strengths and opening up new creative horizons more than a half-century into their storied careers. The songs are warm and inviting, rooted in the joy of human connection and the power of positivity, and the performances are as timeless as they are adventurous, incorporating the full spectrum of American roots music from blues and jazz to folk and country. Keb’ and Taj invited an all-star group of players, singers, and co-writers (including their sons) to join them in the studio for the sessions, but the spotlight remains firmly fixed on the legendary pair throughout the collection, their instantly recognizable voices and guitar stylings complementing and elevating each other at every turn. The result is a delightful, big-hearted work that manages to feel both classic and current all at once, an album rooted in deep tradition delivered by two icons with a boundless appetite for growth, reinvention, and discovery.

Though the two only began recording together as TajMo in 2017 the pair’s creative relationship (and mutual admiration) stretches back decades.

Born Henry St. Claire Fredericks Jr., Taj landed his first record deal in the mid-1960s with Rising Sons—an early band he formed with Ry Cooder and Jessie Lee Kincaid—before going solo under the name Taj Mahal in 1968. While his early work was thoroughly entrenched in the Mississippi Delta, he soon began blending an intoxicating mix of sounds from throughout the African Diaspora into his records, touching on everything from rock and roll and R&B to reggae and jazz to West Indian and Caribbean music as he quickly became known as one of the most influential and progressive roots musicians of the modern era. Over the course of more than six decades and nearly 50 albums, Taj would go on to win five Grammy Awards (plus the Recording Academy’s coveted Lifetime Achievement honor); perform everywhere from The White House to Carnegie Hall; be inducted into the Blues Music Hall of Fame; receive the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award; and collaborate with the likes of the Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, Eric Clapton, Angelique Kidjo, and countless other luminaries.

Born and raised in Compton, Keb’ spent the first few decades of his career working primarily behind the scenes, establishing himself initially as a highly respected guitarist, songwriter, and arranger. Though he recorded a one-off album in 1980 under his birth name, Kevin Moore, it wasn’t until 1994 that the world would meet Keb’ Mo’ with the release of his widely acclaimed self-titled debut. Critics were quick to take note of Keb’s modern, genre-bending take on old school sounds, and two years later, he garnered his first Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album with Just Like You. In the decades to come, Keb’ would take home four more Grammy Awards; top the Billboard Blues Chart seven times; collaborate with icons like Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, The Chicks, and Lyle Lovett; have compositions recorded and sampled by artists as diverse as B.B. King, Zac Brown, and BTS; perform multiple times at the White House; release signature guitars with both Gibson and Martin; compose music for television series like Mike and Molly, Memphis Beat, B Positive, and Martha Stewart Living; and earn the Americana Music Association’s award for Lifetime Achievement in Performance.

A match of music legends: soul/gospel icon Mavis Staples and Americana/rock star Nathaniel Rateliff come together in this one-of-a-kind co-bill. Nathaniel Rateliff performs solo, followed by Mavis Staples with her band, and some duo performances you don't want to miss.

---

MAVIS STAPLES
Sad and Beautiful World is the fifteenth solo album from Mavis Staples, an 86-year-old American music icon whose career spans more than seven decades. Produced by Brad Cook, the record blends original songs with reimagined classics, featuring collaborations with artists like Bonnie Raitt, Jeff Tweedy, and Hozier. Rooted in themes of resilience, hope, and compassion, the album reflects both personal and collective struggle, offering what Staples calls “love songs for tough times.” A civil rights-era voice and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Staples continues to channel her lived experience into music that feels urgent and timeless—proving she’s not just a witness to history, but still actively shaping it.

NATHANIEL RATELIFF
Raised in Hermann, Missouri, Nathaniel Rateliff began his music career playing drums in his family’s church band. Following a decade of performing mostly as a folk-inspired solo act, Rateliff formed the rock outfit Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. Since their 2015 self-titled breakthrough album, the band has established themselves as generational talents through their dynamic live performances and growing catalog of essential studio recordings, including Platinum and Gold RIAA certifications. The band has appeared on Saturday Night Live, released four LPs, two EPs, and a live album. Their most recent, highly acclaimed LP South of Here was awarded Album of the Year at the 2025 Americana Honors & Awards; in support of the album, the band’s first arena tour included a landmark, sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. Rateliff is the first artist appointee to the Newport Folk Festival’s Stewardship program since Pete Seeger, and has chosen to devote his three-year term to artist advocacy, fellowship and mentorship both at the Fort and beyond. Rateliff was also this year unanimously appointed to the Farm Aid board of directors, the third artist to be added to Farm Aid’s Board since its founding. Rateliff will work alongside founders Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp, fellow artist board members Dave Matthews and Margo Price and a team of industry professionals.

The 3rd Annual Theatrical Feast
Saturday, September 19 · 6:30 PM

One evening, a private table somewhere in Santa Fe, and a secret we're keeping until you're through the door.

The Theatrical Feast is the Playhouse's most intimate night of the year: dinner and drinks at one of several beautiful private residences — or on the Playhouse stage itself — with a traveling troupe of your favorite Playhouse singers performing live just for your table. 

You'll also be among the very first to hear what's coming in our 2027 season.

The theme stays under wraps, and you won't learn which house you're dining in until closer to the night. That's half the fun.

Seats are limited to a handful of tables across the entire city, and this evening tends to fill fast. \

The Feast supports the Playhouse — but there's no ask and no pitch all night. Just a wonderful meal, good company, and a first look at what's ahead.

Reserve your seat below. More will be revealed soon.

Thot Daughter, Rob AD

Spinning on ice isn’t the only thing WHIPPED CREAM’s turning heads on. Once a competitive figure skater, Toronto-born Caroline Cecil knows how to bewitch a crowd. Channeling her passion for music both on and off the ice, WHIPPED CREAM–drawn to cinematic soundscapes and deep bass textures–transitioned into production to fully realize her creative vision.

Paving her own lane unlike any other with influences from the likes of Hans Zimmer to Skrillex, WHIPPED CREAM is formulating her own sound, while expressing through dynamic live performances, an incomparable energy. Never not creating, WHIPPED CREAM is not just a producer and DJ, but a songwriter and vocalist as well. Fusing her passion and love for hip-hop, cinema, electronica and more, she impressively navigates these genres fluidly, truly invoking a feeling like no other.

Her passionate approach to music has earned widespread recognition. WHIPPED CREAM was unanimously selected by the Apple Music Canada team as April 2026’s ‘Up Next’ artist, making her the first dance artist ever to be featured in the ‘Up Next’ Canada program, while Spotify Canada also tapped WHIPPED CREAM as its RADAR Canada feature artist for April 2026, promoting the news on billboards in Toronto. Elsewhere earlier this year she played at Rolling Stone Canada’s exclusive party at the Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy, a full-circle moment for the once competitive figure skater.

With standout live appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Tomorrowland, WHIPPED CREAM has solidified her reputation as a must-see live act. Highlights from 2025 included performances at Fireside Festival, Beyond Wonderland, Tecate Pal Norte, Ubbi Dubbi Festival, and Tomorrowland, with 2026 set to bring major appearances at Fvded in the Park, Festival d'été de Québec (FEQ), and Bass Canyon-The Gorge, alongside a fall headlining run. Whether you’re watching her perform or streaming her music, WHIPPED CREAM is here to provide a high-energy, thought provoking feeling appealing to any music and art lover. Your producer’s favorite producer is now in session.

WHIPPED CREAM’s official debut album HOME WAS ALWAYS ME arrives April 30 via Monstercat. A string of singles have been released ahead of the album including the latest “2 u” which makes a play with bouncy 90’s nostalgia, the groundbreaking and tone-setting track “it’s time to go home,” and the electrifying “stranger,” a standout with over 2.3 million streams on Spotify in its first two months out. ‘stranger’ hit Spotify’s Viral Top 50 charts in US and Canada and is currently in rotation on SiriusXM’s BPM, reaching the Top 20 in April ‘26.

MELTT
Meltt’s upcoming third album is the culmination of everything the Vancouver indie-pop quartet have accomplished so far, all the while pushing their sound in new and exciting directions. True to its title, Pathways finds Chris Smith [lead vocals, guitar, bass, keys], Jamie Turner [drums, percussion], James Porter [guitar, keys, bass, vocals], and Ian Winkler [bass, keys, guitar] at multiple forks in the road and deciding to take all of them, submerging their sound in new rippling textures while still retaining the warm, textured glow that their music’s contained since their debut EP Visions in 2017.

Thematically, Pathways approaches what Winkler refers to as “four men approaching their 30s and figuring out their paths and lives.” Big topics abound, from relationships and the aftermath of loss to the strange and uneasy feeling that accompanies navigating the modern world at large. “Our tone is usually pretty optimistic and hopeful, but this time we let some darkness in,” Porter says. “There are so many things we experience individually, but when we get in the studio, it’s clear that we’re on a journey together.”

Whether you’ve been with them since the beginning or are joining them at this very juncture, Pathways will make you thankful that you’re along for the journey.

The distribution of items along the parade route has become a serious problem. It has resulted in an increase in the amount of trash left along the parade route and more importantly has become a safety hazard for spectators. We want our Parade to be FUN, but most importantly SAFE! Therefore, the distribution of advertisements, literature, printed materials, candy, gum, treats or promotional items ON THE PARADE ROUTE may be done ONLY upon the following conditions:

Distributed materials may not be thrown to or in the direction of spectators, but must be handed to the individual. Distribution must not occur in any manner which encourages or rewards spectators that move from the viewing into ANY PORTION of the street assigned to the parade route.

If in the opinion of a Fiesta Parade Committee Official, the continued distribution of materials or items could endanger Parade spectators or participants, the official may ask entry participants to cease from the distribution of said materials or items. Santa Fe Fiesta, Inc. and Parade Committee Officials will bear no responsibility for any financial or opportunity loss associated with this request.

Violators may be subject to prosecution, as appropriate, under the New Mexico Statutory Code. Furthermore, if in the opinion of a Fiesta Parade Committee Official the participant violates ANY of the above policies, the participant shall be banned from participating in future parades sponsored by Santa Fe Fiesta, Inc.

In addition, by submitting your application for registration, you agree to release Santa Fe Fiesta, Inc., and its representatives from any and all liabilities related in any way to your individual, group or organization’s participation in the parade.

We are excited about this year’s Santa Fe Fiesta Historical/Hysterical Parade and hope to include your organization in this community event.

314th Annual Fiesta de Santa Fe

314th Annual Fiesta de Santa Fe

The Santa Fe Fiesta Council is a volunteer organization created by the Official Fiesta Proclamation of our city forefathers on September 16, 1712.

Today the Santa Fe Fiesta Council is comprised of 100 regular members and 20 representatives of civic organizations and businesses. This group of people has a common interest to promote, manage and perpetuate the annual Fiesta de Santa Fe for the benefit of the City of Santa Fe, its citizens and their descendants. The Fiesta Council enlists the cooperation of the local citizenry, the Catholic Church, the local business community and both the City and County of Santa Fe officials.

The year begins with committee assignments in January and the election of the Fiesta Royalty in April. Fiesta Council members sacrifice many hundreds of hours of their personal time and resources; and in some cases, their annual vacation, to the perpetuation of this annual event.

Virtually all the annual budget is self-generated through arts and crafts shows and food booths, along with dances, carnivals, and financial assistance from citizens and businesses, as well as from grants by the Santa Fe Fiesta Foundation and the City of Santa Fe Arts Commission.
