The Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta
The Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta was the 1991 brainchild of Mark Miller, Al Lucero, and Gordon Heiss. Miller opened Coyote Café in 1987 to national acclaim.
Lucero, who sold Maria’s restaurant a few years ago, after owning and running it with his wife Laurie for 28 years, was a wine enthusiast who wanted to prove New Mexican cuisine was worthy of a beverage other than beer or Margaritas. Heiss was GM of La Casa Sena.
Along with Heiss, all three wanted to create an event that would let the world know that: A) not every restaurant in Santa Fe only served tacos and enchiladas; B) wine does, indeed, go with New Mexican food; and C) there are outstanding wine selections at most restaurants in Santa Fe.
They timed the event (the last Saturday in September) to bridge the Santa Fe tourism gap between the Labor Day Weekend and the October International Balloon Fiesta, with the philosophy that “full hotels mean full restaurants”. Over dinner and three bottles of Joseph Phelps 1985 Insignia on the patio at La Casa Sena, the three concocted Santa Fe Chile & Wine Fiesta, planning a one-day afternoon bacchanal that would feature Santa Fe’s top restaurants serving tastes, alongside world-class wineries.
The prerequisite for the participating restaurants was that they include some type of chile in their tasting portions at the event, reasoning that all cultures use some peppers in their cooking. Later that year, on a bright and slightly cool afternoon in back of the, now defunct, Sanbusco Mall, on the last Saturday of September 1991, a one-day food and wine event took place where for $10 you could buy a coupon book with 10 chits, each one redeemable for either a taste from one of the sixteen participating Santa Fe restaurants or a taste of wine being served by local distributors. Sixteen tasting booths were lined along the perimeter of the L-shaped parking lot behind the former Sanbusco Center. In a tent on the western side of parking lot a couple of local wine distributors poured tastes of several dozen wines, mostly from California. About 350 people attended. A Chile and Wine Committee was formed and the following year, the event moved to what was then the courtyard of the Eldorado Hotel. It became more organized and offered seminars on New Mexico chile and several different varietals of old and new world wines.
The “Chile Doctor” from New Mexico State University (which is world renowned for its study of chile peppers), as well as a couple of Master Sommeliers and wine makers presented educational lectures. One of the committee members offered to pay a church group to do clean up after the event, promising a contribution to the church they represented. Aftershock: there was no money to pay the church group, and Santa Fe Chile and Wine found itself ten-grand in debt that was created by the second Grand Tasting!
The question was, do we continue, or do we throw in the towel? “Hey, we can borrow the money from a bank – after all, we had over 500 people show up and we can make it bigger and better next year.” The local Sunwest bank loaned the group the $10,000, but only if someone in the group would personally guarantee the note.
One of the three stepped up and signed the note, the bank loaned the money. The church group was paid!
Off and Running
The following year, the event was bigger and better. In conjunction with the event at the Eldorado, three superstars and founders of the Modern Southwestern Cuisine – Mark Miller of Coyote Café in Santa Fe, Rick Bayless from Topolobampo in Chicago, and Stephan Pyles from Routh Street Cafe in Dallas – took turns demonstrating their techniques cooking with chiles.
This started a continuing feature of presenting rock-star chefs invited to attend each year, with a roster of some of the most famous chefs in the world attending. In addition, major wine makers were invited and most held seminars and demonstrations of their product – that line-up includes Joseph Heitz, Robert Mondavi, David Ramey, and on and on.The crowd became too large for the Eldorado courtyard, and Paul Margetson, GM of the Eldorado met with Lucero and Heiss and said they no longer could host the event.
The group was now $15,000 in debt (counting the $10,000 borrowed the year before). The bank loaned the group the $15K, paying off the $10K from the year before.Mark Miller offered the services of his Coyote Café General Manager, Dave Hoemann, to help Lucero and Heiss. That winter the committee became a Board of Directors and Mr. Hoemann was chosen as the Chairman of the Board.
The Board hired a part-time director, Tom Fishera, who was on board for about a year, when he left Santa Fe to take on the General Manager’s position at a fashionable San Francisco restaurant. At that point the Board hired Greg O’Byrne to replace Tom as part-time Executive Director.A former assistant to Mark Miller, Greg, at the time, was Food and Beverage Director at Las Campanas in Santa Fe.
With Greg’s help, the Event moved to the Hilton Hotel parking lot across the street from the Eldorado, where a tent was erected along the entire Alameda Street side of the parking lot.
The Grand Tasting that fourth year was a smash hit, with lines of people more than a block long waiting to get in.That success led to the next year’s tenting of the entire Hilton Parking lot (in an “L” shape).The fifth year Santa Fe Chile and Wine (at the Hilton) was even better than the year before. All debts were paid, and the group hired Greg O’Byrne as the full-time Executive Director. Santa Fe Chile and Wine was off and running!A SFW&C Fiesta poster was created in the second year, from art work by local artists, including one year featuring a Georgia O’Keeffe painting.
Other than the O’Keeffe, most of the original poster art was auctioned off in a live auction which morphed into a major auction-luncheon event every Thursday noon at the Fiesta in which thousands of dollars are raised for charity and event expenses.
A “Wine-Maker” of the year presentation was added to the agenda at the live-auction luncheon with a special trophy presented to the honoree with their in-person acceptance.At one point, early on, someone asked, “Why are you holding a ‘Chilean Wine Festival’ in Santa Fe?” (Say it fast, “Santa Fe Chile and Wine Fiesta” – get it?). So came the name, Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta!
The Opera Years Begin
Year Six needed more space than was available at the Hilton. The Board was scrambling to find a suitable location and lo-and-behold, Kate Collins, a member of the board and local wine distributor said the folks from the Santa Fe Opera wanted to talk to us about using their huge parking lot for our Grand Tasting Event.
The Board agreed to a five-year agreement with the Opera that would have the Event donating cash to the Opera for the purpose of helping to pay for the repaving of their parking lot.
After the five-years went by, the event came to a financial arrangement with the Opera and continued to use that venue for over 20 years. In its more than twenty-year span at the Santa Fe Opera, SFWCF saw more evolution with events like film nights, cooking demonstrations at the Santa Fe School of Cooking, events including the Trade and Reserve Tastings were established in the early 2000s and as mentioned before, the Guest Chef Live Auction Luncheon. Another example, in 1993, Michael Cerletti, and a couple of partners bought Betty Eagan’s Rancho Encantado (which has since been totally razed and replaced with what is now the Four Seasons Encantado Resort and Spa).
Cerletti, a board member, allowed the Fiesta to use the resort’s covered outdoor dance and event venue to host a new Sunday Event, Champagne and Dirty Boots a brunch featuring great food and the Champagne of the Year which was Moet et Chandon for the first several years. When the Cerletti group sold, this event went away, but was re-invented in 2012, when Four Seasons took over the management of the venue.
Champagne & Dirty Boots is one of the first events of the SFW&C to sell out each year. These events have created the fabric of the Fiesta along with the piece de resistance on the last Saturday in September—the Grand Tasting, with 100 world-class wineries serving tastes alongside 75 Santa Fe restaurants to over 2,500 food and wine enthusiasts.
Music was added with a live band adding a soundtrack to the festive afternoon.
In addition to the paying attendees, about a thousand volunteers, winery reps and restauranteurs working the event, brought the crowd up to over thirty-five hundred food and wine lovers for the Saturday Grand Event.
Back to the Future
After the 2019 event on the Opera parking lot, the management of the opera chose to discontinue the relationship with SFW&C, so a new venue was selected, Fort Marcy Park!
In 2020, the event was scheduled to move to Fort Marcy Park in downtown Santa Fe, however, the last couple of years have brought challenge to our industry but also an opportunity for change. In 2020, SFWCF was able to redirect its efforts and execute a virtual festival with a series of winery dinners, cooking demos, and tastings along with robust online live and silent auctions.
The Fiesta demonstrated its brand power and commitment to the hospitality community during this trying time which allowed for even bigger changes in 2021.
In 2021 Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta Grand Tasting returned to downtown Santa Fe with not one, but two Grand Tastings on the grassy lawn of Magers Field at Fort Marcy Park. Each of the two Grand Tastings featured over 90 world-class wineries and 35 Santa Fe restaurants serving samples of their signature cuisine each day. Grand Tasting crowds were limited to half the size as in the previous renditions, providing more space to move about and shorter lines in consideration of our patron’s health and safety.
The Fort Marcy venue was a smashing success, receiving rave reviews. As an event whose mission is to market the Santa Fe restaurant community as a world-class destination, we are thrilled to be able to host our signature events in downtown Sant Fe once again this year.
Magers Field at Fort Marcy Park is a historic venue that offers plenty of beautiful grassy space, outdoor views of the clear New Mexico blue sky and easy walking distance to the downtown area.
In 2022 the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta returned to its original one-day food and wine Grand Tasting on Saturday afternoon (with between 2,000 and 2,500 tickets up for sale) while also marking an important evolution with the creation of “Chile Friday.”
After 30 plus years it was time to recognize our roots as central to the Fiesta, with an event that features the great New Mexican foods made with New Mexico grown Chile. Of course, New Mexican cuisine requires refreshment with local craft-beers (served by a dozen-plus Santa Fe and New Mexico Breweries), craft / top shelf margaritas and a few New Mexican wines that have red or green chile as an ingredient.
Chile Friday was the surprise hit of the 2022 Fiesta and was even better in 2023. With the pandemic behind us, 2022 & 2023 also experienced great strides in other key parts of the SFWCF. Sponsorship increased dramatically; and as we headed into 2023 and it allowed us to not only broaden our support of Cooking with Kids but also bring back an educational component of the Fiesta.
In the fall of 2023, we supported 50 of Santa Fe’s emerging wine sommeliers with the Level 1 Court of Master Sommelier class that certifies a solid level of international fine wine credential so critical in restaurant service today. In keeping with this strong support of wine service & education, the 2023 SFWCF also saw a solid surge of the Restaurant Winery Dinners that make up the evenings throughout the Fiesta. Our events and programming during the day inspire guests to go out and try the wine and food pairings at the featured participating restaurants.
It’s a perfect synergy.
Finally, the auction component of the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta moved into the 21st Century.
In addition to the main event, our Live Auction & Guest Chef Luncheon, we expanded our auction item offerings in the Silent, Super Silent and On-Line formats. Across these auction formats guests had a chance to bid on incredible wines and winery / travel experiences and one of a kind local experiences.
With a festive coda to 2023, SFWCF launched a small Red & Green (Christmas) online auction in December that was great success. All of this lifted our charitable capacity to enable our mission of supporting the Santa Fe restaurant community as a world class destination along with providing education to the hospitality community and supporting the food education of local children.
Still roasting and crushing 33 years later, the original one-day Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta has exploded into a five-day epicurean extravaganza, and we look forward to welcoming you to this one-of-a-kind event.

Renée Fleming: Voice of Nature
Renée Fleming brings her contemplative approach to art to the Lensic stage with Voice of Nature: the Anthropocene, a recital based on her 2023 Grammy-winning album.
As Fleming came to grips with the climate crisis, she turned to a great legacy of song literature—Romantic-era poets and composers who reveled in imagery of nature, finding reflections of human experience in the environment.
In collaboration with Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Fleming juxtaposed these classics with the voices of living composers, addressing our current, troubled relationship with the natural world.
The recital includes an original film created by the National Geographic Society to reflect the musical selections.
Renée Fleming is one of the most highly acclaimed singers of our time, performing on the stages of the world’s great opera houses and concert halls. A 2023 Kennedy Center Honoree, winner of five Grammy® awards and the US National Medal of Arts, she has sung for momentous occasions from the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to the Diamond Jubilee for Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.
A groundbreaking distinction came in 2008 when she became the first woman in the 125-year history of the Metropolitan Opera to solo headline an opening night gala. In 2023, the World Health Organization appointed her as a Goodwill Ambassador for Arts and Health, and this year, she became an inaugural member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Arts and Culture Council.
Renée Fleming: Voice of Nature
Friday, September 26, 7:30 PM

Born and raised in Montana, Eryn has small-town, Western roots that influence through her songwriting. Marrying emotive lyrics and moving melodies, her autobiographical originals explore several genres, but cling strongly to the authenticity of folk and traditional country.
While New Mexico has become her home base, she has played all over the West coast, forever planting her musical magic in the hearts of those who hear her.
Eryn is a trained vocalist with years of private training under her belt, which gives her the incredible range and ability to showcase her music in a genuine, evocative way. She sings, she means it, and you’ll feel it in your bones.
Cowboy Mouth
September 11-14, 18-21, and 25-28
Cowboy Mouth, by Sam Shepard and Patti Smith, is an urban fable about a woman who kidnaps a young man at gunpoint, taking him hostage from his wife and child to make him a pop prophet, ''like a rock-and-roll Jesus with a cowboy mouth.” Zoe Lesser will direct this exhilarating and poetic play that serves as a cautionary tale about using art as deliverance from our flaws and relating to someone’s potential instead of who they are.
Tim Hagen Tumpeter
Three time Grammy nominated composer and trumpeter Tim Hagans performs with local jazz masters for an amazing night of music. Featuring Alex Murzyn, Bob Fox, Gordy Johnson, and Joe Chellman ~

Tim Hagans was nominated for Grammy awards for Best Instrumental Composition for “Box of Cannoli” from THE AVATAR SESSIONS (2010 Fuzzy Music); Best Contemporary Jazz CD for RE*ANIMATION (2000 Blue Note) and ANIMATION/ IMAGINATION (1999 Blue Note).

FOX and Friends: Todd and the Fox and Lumpy
Fox and Folk Sessions-
Fox and Friends: Todd and the Fox & Lumpy
Friday, September 26 | 8–10 PM
Rufina Taproom | Free | All Ages
Join us for a high-energy night of Norteño Mountain Folk Funk and ska‑infused pop, indie, and rock as Todd and the Fox teams up with Lumpy for an evening of music and collaboration.
Todd and the Fox is equal parts rollicking, rolling, playful animal spirit and tooth‑and‑claw hammer mountain‑minor backwoods predator. With electric banjo, lap steel, guitar, bass, and drums, they deliver a spirited blend of family‑friendly songs about rattlesnakes, coyotes, a good night’s sleep, fatherhood, mindfulness, and funky worms—plus sardonic ditties and murder ballads about love, misadventure, history, and the human spirit. The band—brainchild of Todd Eric Lovato and featuring multi‑instrumentalists Erik Sawyer, Brian Nelson, and Bryan Highhill—has taken its unique New Mexican electronic folk sound throughout the Southwest and as far as South Korea, and recently released a compilation EP of kids’ songs.
Lumpy is the long‑running project of Bryan Highhill—trumpeter, keyboardist, songwriter, and producer. Started in Santa Fe in 2008, Lumpy blends ska, pop, indie, rock, and more into an original sound that’s both catchy and unconventional. After years in the Minneapolis music scene touring and recording with Sonny Knight and the Lakers, Hennepin County Millionaires Club, Black Market Brass, and PaviElle, Bryan reignited Lumpy with a full‑length album in 2020 and formed a live band in 2022. Their 2024 release won Lumpy its second New Mexico Music Award, following six albums, a stack of demos and EPs, and wins for Best Pop Album (2012) and Best Rock Album (2025). Now based in Albuquerque, Lumpy’s current Southwest lineup is bringing fresh energy to live shows across New Mexico.

Serving more than 150 farmers and producers in 15 Northern New Mexico counties, the Market brings fresh food, education, and fun to our community and promotes small farms and sustainable agriculture in Northern New Mexico.

The same goes for at least 70% of the ingredients and materials used to make all processed and craft items. Furthermore, no reselling is permitted. That means that the people doing the growing and producing are the same smiling folks who sell those products to you at Market.
The largest and most popular among the Markets.
The Santa Fe Farmers’ Market – Saturday has the largest variety of vendors and products. Shop a great selection of fresh produce, eggs, meat, honey, bread, chile, apothecary, and much more.

A Street Car Named Desire
NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE IN HD
Gillian Anderson (Sex Education), Vanessa Kirby (The Crown), and Ben Foster (Lone Survivor) lead the cast in Tennessee Williams’ timeless masterpiece.
As Blanche’s fragile world crumbles, she turns to her sister Stella for solace – but her downward spiral brings her face to face with the brutal, unforgiving Stanley Kowalski.
This acclaimed production was filmed live during a sold-out run at the Young Vic Theatre in 2014.
Blues Swing Fusion
Listen to audio recordings from the Baumann family during our free Baumannia Community Day on Sun., Sept. 28, 2:15 - 2:30 p.m. at the New Mexico History Museum in Santa Fe.
Spanning 37 recordings across 24 original media items from 78 rpm records to reel-to-reel tapes and cassettes, the recently digitized audio in the Ann Baumann Trust of Gustave Baumann Material offers a unique insight into Gus’s life.
You'll hear Gus, of course, who you may be surprised to hear has no German accent and is rather Midwestern, reading his manuscripts and giving talks about art and life in Santa Fe, always signing off his recordings with “this is Gustave Baumann speaking,” a habit also picked up by his daughter, Ann.
But you’ll also find audio letters exchanged with Jane Baumann’s sisters, Mary and Belle; recordings of the family together at holidays; talks given in Santa Fe, including Randall Davey discussing the life of John Sloan; and a marionette show, as well as the backing audio used for the shows.
The audio recordings offer an intimate portrait of Gus, told not only in his own words but through the voices of those who knew him best.

Bad Bunny Dance Party
DJ D-MONIC is bringing another Bad Bunny night to Boxcar September 27!
Get ready to vibe with all your favorite Bad Bunny hits.
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.

1 – 1:15 p.m. Mini Lecture: ANN BAUMANN: WITH 2 ENS, presented by Gala Chamberlain, Ann Baumann Trustee, Auditorium
Ann’s mother, Jane Henderson Baumann, studied English diction in London and French diction in Paris. This influence had a lasting impact on Ann who was known to humorously chide her friends for their grammatical errors. Spelling was also important and her personal license plate, WITH 2 ENS, hinted at the frequency of correcting the spelling of her last name.

1:15 – 1:45 p.m. Presentation: That Able Helpmeet Jane: The Life of Jane Henderson Baumann, with Archivist Alice Wehling, Auditorium

When Gustave Baumann announced a new studio on Canyon Road in early 1919, he promised new prints and "some bookish things that the Koshare Press has condescended to publish." The making of books is a little-known aspect of Baumann’s career, but the life-long pursuit of that promise presented him with successes and unresolved challenges. Thomas Leech, former curator of the Palace Press at the History Museum and co-author of multiple books about Baumann will discuss some of Baumann’s lesser-known and unpublished books.
3:15 – 3:30 p.m. Mini Lecture: Baumann, Poetry, and Books as Art, with Erin Hodges, Museum of New Mexico Press Publisher and Director, Auditorium

The book features a fascinating conversation between Baumann and the santeros whose work he sought to celebrate, as well as between poet Peggy Pond Church and Baumann’s prints. Church’s poems are examples of ekphrasis, or poetry about art, and serve to highlight how Baumann’s work continues to inspire conversation and collaboration.
3:30 – 4 p.m. Presentation: Baumann Family Slide Night, with Baumann Biographer Martin Krause, Auditorium
Join us for a fun and unconventional glimpse into Baumann family life as captured through newly digitized slides and photographs. See rare images of Gus, Jane, and Ann throughout their travels, their friends in Santa Fe, and adventures throughout the Southwest and beyond.

Showing of Craft in America's "Minatures" TV Episode
Watch a screening of the show Craft in America's TV episode, "Miniatures," during our free Baumannia Community Day on Sun., Sept. 28, 12 - 1 p.m. at the New Mexico History Museum in Santa Fe.
A small voice told Gustave Baumann to go west, and he took the message to heart. Beginning with his 1918 arrival in Santa Fe, Baumann used his keen eye to capture shimmering details, subtle beauty, and the Southwest’s unique people and places.
While he is most known for his sublime woodblock prints, Baumann let out his playful side with character-filled marionette puppets.
First made to entertain his daughter, they soon took over his house. He and his wife, Jane Henderson Baumann, started putting on shows which became the greatest delight to the city’s children.
“Miniatures” from the amazing Craft in America series, tells the tale of Gustave Baumann applying his craftsman’s hand to arts as small and large as puppet-making, printing, and furniture making.
This colorful documentary also features Mark Murphy, Alexander Girard, Leandro Gómez Quintero, and other artists whose work focuses our eyes on the world found in the smallest detail.

Paraphernalia of an Active Life
Join us for the public opening of the small showcase of Paraphernalia of an Active Mind: The Girard Foundation Archives, a long-term display of 133 decorated research file boxes from the personal collection of Alexander Girard. This ongoing mini vitrine, just outside the Bartlett Library, shares archival materials from this collection and will be on continuous rotation.
Event included with Admission
“We are so excited to share these colorful cases from the archives and showcase the diverse ephemera that Alexander Girard collected for inspiration,” said Charlie Lockwood, Museum of International Folk Art Executive Director. “This project has been a long time in the works, and it will deepen our understanding of Girard’s collection and serve as a fresh and vibrant introduction to the Bartlett Library and Archives for our visitors and local community.”
In May 1961, Alexander and Susan Girard created the Girard Foundation to manage their collection of folk art and toys. As Alexander Girard amassed research materials on myriad subjects, he organized these in roughly 200 cardboard file boxes labelled by hand and decorated with papers both from his international collection and of his own design. In 1996, the Museum of International Folk Art became the home to two-thirds of that collection with the rest kept by the Girard family or donated to the Vitra Design Museum in Germany.
Additionally, to complement the new Girard display, the approaching hallway has been renovated and now features the return of the wood plaque, hand-carved by Gustave Baumann, which was presented as a gift to the Museum upon its founding by his friend, Florence Dibell Bartlett. A skilled painter, printmaker, and draftsman, Baumann also inscribed Miss Bartlett’s statement “The art of the craftsman is a bond between the peoples of the world” above the museum’s entrance at the opening in 1953, as evidenced by the new archival photos mounted in the hallway.
Paraphernalia of an Active Mind: The Girard Foundation Archives is made possible through the generous support of the International Folk Art Foundation.

Born and raised in New York City, Honey Villarreal has always loved to dance. She trained in classical ballet with the Joffrey Ballet School for ten years when she was young, performing on stage at Lincoln Center and Brooklyn Academy of Music. After college and career took her away from home for a few years, she returned to NYC, this time settling in Brooklyn.
Honey started dancing Salsa in 2015, at a popular studio in Downtown Brooklyn. Though she was new to Latin dance, she became enamored with Salsa, quickly added Bachata to her repertoire, and found her true love in Cha Cha. In addition to taking classes and attending weekly socials, she joined the studio’s performance team to push her dancing skills even further. She has attended congresses in California and Florida, as well as New York City, where she also performed. She became an instructor in 2019, teaching large group classes at all levels and also providing one-on-one instruction through private lessons.
Honey moved to Santa Fe in January 2024. She is thrilled to now be part of the dance community here in New Mexico and is looking forward to sharing her love of dance — and her New York knowledge! — with many more students.

They reconfigure music from all stages of the band's career, from the early "big music" of The Whole Of The Moon and classic album This Is The Sea through the roots-inspired Fisherman's Blues era and the run of in-form records that have poured out since 2015's Nashville-recorded Modern Blues, taking in soul, funk, country-rock and any other kind of music they care to play - and always rooted in Scott's songwriting mastery and a sense of exploration.

Alex Maryol LIVE at Bonita
Alex Maryol’s latest album almost didn’t get made. On the first day of recording, tensions were high, and the blues-rock artist and his engineer had an explosive disagreement. As it turns out, though, it was just a miscommunication, and cooler heads prevailed.
That key moment, however, gave everyone involved permission to be honest during the recording of Alex’s latest album, In The Meantime. The spirit of openness in the studio perfectly reflected where Alex had arrived at as a person and an artist. After years of soul-searching, Alex was welcoming an inspired epoch of authenticity and unbound creativity.
“It is a new era for me,” the Santa Fe, New Mexico-based artist acknowledges. “I feel like I am free to be myself, and express a deeper level of sincerity. It feels like the time to get back to a raw, from-the-gut approach to my music.”
Alex’s latest album will be his eighth entry in a musical journey that began with him as blues prodigy. He’s since matured into a critically-acclaimed alt-blues artist. His vocals exude a sweet grit, and, on guitar, Alex is a slow-burn virtuoso whose adept at conjuring muddy Mississippi river blues, gritty indie rock, buttery R&B, and sweat-soaked Chicago-style blues with an unmistakable swagger.
Alex has opened for a wide array of artists, including Etta James, G. Love and Special Sauce, Bo Diddley Bonnie Raitt, Lyle Lovett, Leon Russell, Corey Harris, Blues Traveler, and Otis Taylor, among others. He’s made incendiary appearances at the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival, and the King Biscuit Blues Festival. Two of his songs have been selected to appear in the Guy Pierce thriller First Snow(2007) directed by Mark Fergus. He’s also earned the “Best Blues Song” award at the New Mexico’s MIC Awards.
His latest release,In The Meantime, is both a rebirth and a return. In 2003, Alex released the gutsy bluesy album Make Everything Alright, and he decided to revisit that unvarnished approach on his latest, focusing on electric guitar workouts, and, most importantly, heartfelt songcraft. To this end, he enlisted Make Everything Alright’s engineer Tim Stroh (Dwight Yoakam, Robbie Robertson, David Jacobs-Strain), and recorded at Tim’s new studio in Leadville, Colorado, Mad House Recorders.
In The Meantime is boldly reflective and vulnerable. The 11-song collection spans swampy Delta blues, smoldering slow-burn soul, classic rock riff-rock, and moody jazz-tinged balladry. The spiritually uplifting “Love Is What We Are Made For” melds stanky vamp-blues with emotive pop-rock hooks. Later on in the album, Alex imaginatively revisits this track with a slinky groove which adds a soul-stirring dynamic to the song’s purposeful message.
On the hypnotically sleek and funky “All Night,” Alex relays a modern take on paying dues. The song looks back at Alex’s early 20s when he was grinding it out in bars playing music 5 nights a week from 9:30 PM to 1:30 AM.
Another album standout is the title track which is a rousing dip into moody Delta blues territory. Here, Alex conjures the lonesome and haunting feel of blues without resorting to cliched lyrics. “I didn’t want to take the easy way out and write a sappy breakup song. I wanted to convey a human experience we all have where we get to a place in our life where we’re stuck in darkness, and it feels like we are being tested,” Alex shares. The track also finds him stretching out on the guitar with slow-burn assurance, alternating between “Boogie Chillen”-like rhythm guitar and raw-nerve, Chicago electric blues lead playing.

Joe Samba
JOE SAMBA
Guitar slung low, microphone turned up, and emotion overflowing, Joe Samba taps into rock ‘n’ roll spirit and reggae soul all at once. The Massachusetts-born singer, songwriter, and guitarist sonically teeters on an axis of island-inflected grooves and gritty guitar-craft balanced by his dynamic vocals. He finds the sweet spot between smoked-out Caribbean bliss and sweat-soaked punkified energy. It’s why he’s quietly emerged as a phenomenon, toppling charts at #1 and performing alongside everyone from The Dirty Heads to Pepper.

Todd & the Fox
Spend a Sunday evening with Todd and the Fox as they bring their distinctive Norteño Mountain Folk Funk to the intimate setting of La Reina at El Rey Court. Known for their sharp, sardonic songwriting and layered storytelling, the band leans into the darker and more intimate side of their music for this special night, balancing edgy themes with their signature sense of playfulness and groove.
Equal parts mountain grit and mischievous spirit, Todd and the Fox weave together songs that explore the strange and the human: foreign exchange trips gone wrong, anthropomorphic feline seductresses, the historical trauma of war and patriotism, and the intersection of mental illness and genius—all set against melodies and rhythms crafted for close listening.
For longtime fans, there will still be flashes of humor, playful banjo licks, and unexpected grooves, but this performance highlights the band’s strength as songwriters and storytellers in a cozy space designed for deeper connection.
Formed by Todd Eric Lovato and Erik Sawyer, the band also features Brian Nelson on bass and lap steel and Bryan Highhill on trumpet and keyboards. Together, they create a tightly knit, dynamic sound that blends folk, funk, roots, and experimentation in a way that is uniquely their own.
Come for an evening of songs, stories, and musicianship as Todd and the Fox share a more intimate side of their craft. Their music is available on all major streaming platforms. Learn more at todd.world.
All ages are welcome, 21+ to enjoy beverages at the bar. Tickets are not required. This event is free and open to the public; however, tips to the band are always welcome and appreciated!

Wednesday the Band
Wednesday is a band from North Carolina led by Karly Hartzman, with guitarist MJ Lenderman, bassist Ethan Baechtold, drummer Alan Miller, and pedal steel player Xandy Chelmis. Half-funny, half-tragic dispatches from the American South unfurling somewhere between the wailing skuzz of Nineties shoegaze and classic country twang,
Wednesday’s music defies categorization. Hartzman calls it “creek rock” – there are sleepy country-imbued love songs, moments of screaming hardcore propulsion, distorted pedal steel and Hartzman’s sweet voice slicing through the din.
Hartzman, the songwriter/vocalist/guitarist at the helm of the project, is a story collector as much as she is a storyteller: a scholar of people and one-liners, in constant awe of memory and the minutiae of everyday life in North Carolina, she’s an empathetic writer weaving together the weight of memories and possibility of what’s next into one patchwork of sound.
Wednesday’s most recent album, 2023’s Rat Saw God, was released to global critical acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, The New York Times, AP, and many other major publications across the globe. On the heels of that release, the band toured extensively and internationally, headlining sold-out shows across the US, Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand across the last several years.

How I Learned to Drive
Winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Paula Vogel’s How I Learned to Drive, is a wildly funny, surprising and devastating tale of survival as seen through the lens of a troubling relationship between a young girl and an older man.
Village Voice described it as “…a tremendous achievement, genuine and genuinely disturbing…This is, quite simply, the sweetest and most forgiving play ever written about child abuse…Vogel’s delicate tactic makes sense not only as a way to redouble the dramatic effect, but as a representation of reality, a perfect case of the form fitting the subject.”
Emily Rankin will direct
Performances: Thursday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., Sunday matinees at 2 p.m., with the first Thursday a limited seating preview at 7:30 p.m. \

Nicotine Dolls
Nicotine Dolls make the kind of music you can’t hide from. The storytelling is front-and-center, beckoning your attention like a dusty old novel you can’t put down until the last page.
The vocals are gritty and honest, holding nothing back in fits of joy, regret, and sadness similar to a phone call from one of your best friends at 3am.
The instrumentation is equally punchy and nuanced, grafting rafter-reaching hooks on top of rich soundscapes.
The moment the New York alternative quartet—Sam Cieri [vocals], John Hays [guitar], John Merritt [bass], and Abel Tabares [drums]—plug in, it’s as if a rush of collective emotion floods through the speakers.
Harvey Car Pop- Up
Don’t miss this chance to see one of the only remaining, custom-made 1929 Cadillac Harveycars.
Developed by the Fred Harvey Company these special cars motored tourists to unique destinations in New Mexico and Arizona, as part of tours called Indian-detours.
They visited Spanish Missions, old villages, and Ancestral Puebloan cliff-dwellings throughout the southern Rockies.
A fleet of cars like this one toured the Southwest from 1926 until the Depression of the early 1930s put an end to luxury travel.
This lovingly restored beauty is courtesy of Xanterra Travel Collection.

A cross-pollination of numerous influences, including cabaret, spaghetti Westerns, norteño, punk, and the immigrant dance music of Eastern Europe, Colorado-based quartet DeVotchKa, formed in Denver by multi-instrumentalists Nick Urata (vocals, guitar, trumpet), Tom Hagerman (violin, accordion), Jeanie Schroder (sousaphone, bass) and percussionist Shawn King, emerged as unlikely indie heroes in the mid-2000s infusing modern indie music with a global flavor.
They found widespread success in 2006 with their Grammy-nominated soundtrack to the hit indie film Little Miss Sunshine. Signing with revered indie, Anti-, the band delivered A Mad and Faithful Telling in early 2008, reaching the number nine slot on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. A lengthy world tour followed, including stops at major festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Bumbershoot. After doing more soundtrack work, this time for the 2009 comedy I Love You Phillip Morris, the group returned to the studio for 2011’s moody and triumphant 100 Lovers. Embarking on another world tour, they collaborated with the Colorado Symphony on the 2012 concert album Live with the Colorado Symphony. Over the next several years, Urata became increasingly involved in his own film composition career, scoring movies like Crazy Stupid Love, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Paddington, and the Netflix series A Series of Unfortunate Events. Meanwhile, the band regrouped for a lengthy recording session, eventually returning in 2018 with their sixth album, This Night Falls Forever, this time via Concord Records.

Todd Rundgren
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Rundgren began playing guitar as a teenager, going on to found and front The Nazz, the quintessential `60's psychedelic group. In 1969, he left the band to pursue a solo career, recording his debut offering, the legendary Runt.
But it was 1972's seminal Something/Anything?, on which he played all the instruments, sang all the vocal parts, and acted as his own producer, that catapulted Todd into the superstar limelight, prompting the press to unanimously dub him 'Rock's New Wunderkind'.
It was followed by such landmark LPs as The Hermit of Mink Hollow and the above mentioned A Wizard, A True Star, as well as such hit singles as I Saw The Light, Hello It's Me, Can We Still Be Friends, and Bang The Drum.
In 1974, Todd formed Todd Rundgren’s Utopia (renamed and reconfigured in 1976 as Utopia), an entirely new approach to the concept of interactive musicianship, and embarked on an extensive round of touring and recording. Standout Utopia offerings included Oops! Wrong Planet, Adventures in Utopia, and Oblivion. Along the way, Todd Rundgren’s Utopia combined technical virtuosity and creative passion to create music that initially, for millions, defined the term "progressive rock”, and subsequently, as Utopia, the term “powerpop”.
Lucius
Formed by lead vocalists and songwriters Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, acclaimed indie band Lucius is best known for their sinuous harmonies and highly original, pop-noir musical artistry.
The group, which includes multi-instrumentalists Peter Lalish and Dan Molad, have released three albums, and toured the globe, cultivating a passionate following for their ingenious art-pop creations and exhilarating live performances.
The gifted melodicists and songwriters bring a startling level of musicianship to Lucius — which is evident in the astounding talent they’ve collaborated with over the course of their prolific 16-year career.

CHICAGO is still the one musical with everything that makes Broadway shimmy-shake: a universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, with one showstopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen.
In the whirlwind of Chicago’s Jazz Age, two of the Cook County Jail’s most notorious murderesses—vaudeville star Velma Kelly and chorus girl Roxie Hart—become fierce rivals as they compete for headlines amidst a media frenzy.
Broadway’s longest-running musical has been razzle dazzling audiences for over 29 years, and after more than 10,000 performances, 6 Tony Awards®, 2 Olivier Awards, and a Grammy®, we’re just getting started.
Stanley Clark
STANLEY CLARKE
Stanley Clarke is one of the finest jazz artists of his generation.” — Billboard
Four-time Grammy Award winner Stanley Clarke has obtained “living legend” status during his over 50-year career as a bass virtuoso, starting with his success of jazz-fusion group Return To Forever.
He is the first bassist in history to double on acoustic and electric bass with equal ferocity and the first jazz-fusion bassist ever to headline tours, selling out shows worldwide. Clarke’s creativity has been recognized and rewarded in every way imaginable, including a part of the permanent collection displayed at the Smithsonian’s new National Museum of African American History and Culture.

ORENDA
A fixture in the underground bass music scene in Denver, Trevor nurtured a fierce love for bass music and its intensely passionate followers. Inspired by the brilliant musicians that rose from the Denver underground, Trevor decided to further explore his passion and returned to school to study electronic music production. Hitting the scene hard under the new moniker “Orenda,” he began to put his imprint on the scene with a unique fusion of tribal world music, and powerful west coast bass. In a live show context, Orenda conveys a marriage of the two opposing ideas, resulting in mixes that are ethereal and alluring, as well as powerful and aggressive. Straying from the predictable, rise and fall cliches of the modern dancefloor, Orenda embarks on a musical journey that leaves an otherworldly impression.

Songs and Stories: Finn, Hood, Escovedo
Singer-songwriter heavyweights Craig Finn (The Hold Steady), Patterson Hood (Drive-By Truckers), and Alejandro Escovedo come together on the Lensic stage for a night of incredible music and collaboration.
Craig Finn is a Minnesota-bred singer/songwriter based in New York City, best known as the singer of The Hold Steady. Finn spent the ’90’s leading Minneapolis indie band Lifter Puller, which released 3 albums and an EP. After relocating to New York, he joined with Lifter Puller member Tad Kubler to form The Hold Steady in 2003. The Hold Steady quickly achieved critical acclaim and a worldwide fan base with their unique pairing of dense lyrical narratives with big rock guitars. Finn released his 6th solo album, Always Been, on April 4. Produced by Adam Granduciel (The War On Drugs), the album features musical performances by Granduciel and members of The War on Drugs, Kathleen Edwards, Sam Fender, and more.
Patterson Hood is an acclaimed singer-songwriter, guitarist, and co-founder of the Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers. Born in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Hood grew up immersed in the region’s rich musical heritage, with his father, David Hood, being a renowned session bassist for the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. Drawing inspiration from storytelling traditions and a passion for rock, country, and soul, Hood’s music often explores themes of Southern identity, social justice, and personal introspection.
Alejandro Escovedo’s life in music of all kinds sometimes feels like a swirl through the sky, where his songs point out all the majesty and mystery of how he sees the world. The sounds he makes take him places that he might not even predict, but once there, greatness always follows. It’s just the way Escovedo is.
The Half Life of Marie Curie
In 1911, Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her discovery of the elements radium and polonium.
By 1912, she was the object of ruthless gossip over an alleged affair, all but erasing her achievements from public memory.
Weakened and demoralized by the press, Marie joins her friend and colleague Hertha Ayrton, an electromechanical engineer and suffragette, to recover from the scandal at Hertha's seaside retreat on the British coast.
The Half-life of Marie Curie, which will be directed by NMAL founder Robert Benedetti, revels in the power of female friendship as it explores the relationship between these two brilliant women, both of whom are mothers, widows, and fearless champions of scientific inquiry.
THE HALF LIFE OF MARIE CURIE: November 20-23, 28-30, and December 4-7
Performances Thursday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., Sunday matinees at 2 p.m., with the first Thursday a limited seating preview at 7:30 p.m.
All performances at The Lab Theater, 1213 Parkway, Santa Fe - – one block from Meow Wolf.

Baumann Family Slide Night
Join us for a fun and unconventional glimpse into Baumann family life as captured through newly digitized slides and photographs during our free Baumannia Community Day on Sun., Sept. 28, 3:30 - 4 p.m. at the New Mexico History Museum in Santa Fe.
See rare images of Gus, Jane, and Ann throughout their travels, their friends in Santa Fe, and adventures throughout the Southwest and beyond. Noted Baumann scholar and biographer, Martin Krause, will share “casual-like” anecdotes illustrated with now-accessible archival images.
Krause is the Curator Emeritus of prints, drawings, and photographs at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. He authored "Gustave Baumann: Nearer to Art" (1993) from the Museum of New Mexico Press and edited and annotated "The Autobiography of Gustave Baumann" (2015) and "Gustave Baumann: Views of Brown County" (2018) from Pomegranate Communications.

Mini Lecture: This is Gustauve Baumann Speaking
Listen to audio recordings from the Baumann family during our free Baumannia Community Day on Sun., Sept. 28, 2:15 - 2:30 p.m. at the New Mexico History Museum in Santa Fe.
Spanning 37 recordings across 24 original media items from 78 rpm records to reel-to-reel tapes and cassettes, the recently digitized audio in the Ann Baumann Trust of Gustave Baumann Material offers a unique insight into Gus’s life.
You'll hear Gus, of course, who you may be surprised to hear has no German accent and is rather Midwestern, reading his manuscripts and giving talks about art and life in Santa Fe, always signing off his recordings with “this is Gustave Baumann speaking,” a habit also picked up by his daughter, Ann.
But you’ll also find audio letters exchanged with Jane Baumann’s sisters, Mary and Belle; recordings of the family together at holidays; talks given in Santa Fe, including Randall Davey discussing the life of John Sloan; and a marionette show, as well as the backing audio used for the shows.
The audio recordings offer an intimate portrait of Gus, told not only in his own words but through the voices of those who knew him best.

JOHN MORELAND
After a celebrated run through the 2010s that cemented his place in modern Americana, John Moreland took a sharp turn in the 2020s, first with 2022’s experimental Birds In The Ceiling and then by stepping away from music entirely for a year of rest and digital detox. That sabbatical birthed Visitor (2024), a raw, home-recorded folk-rock album that reconnects with the emotional immediacy of his early work while tackling the spiritual and societal costs of modern life. Through sparse arrangements, lyrical introspection, and a renewed artistic clarity, Moreland confronts alienation, grief, and the numbing pace of the digital age, offering instead a path of simplification and self-honesty. With songs that blend personal reckoning and pointed social commentary, Visitor is both a return to form and a powerful evolution, affirming Moreland’s role not just as a songwriter, but as a seeker of truth in a world built on noise.
MARIEL BUCKLEY
Unapologetically genuine, wry and soft-hearted, Mariel Buckley has planted her flag firmly as a songwriter who is comfortable living on the fringes, writing songs for the underdogs. With a fearless spirit that’s consistently broken through both genre and personal barriers, Buckley’s unique blend of angst-driven alt-folk has made her a standout artist, offering a fresh and dynamic perspective on modern Americana music.
Buckley’s past albums, 2022’s Polaris Music Prize nominated Everywhere I Used To Be and 2018’s Driving In The Dark, has been praised by notable publications and recognized with prestigious accolades. She’s toured across Canada, America and the EU/UK, as well as showcasing at SXSW, Americanafest, The Philadelphia Folk Fest, and Folk Alliance International. She’s shared stages with artists like Orville Peck, k.d. lang, The Bros Landreth and Frazey Ford, among many others.
An avid admirer of his work, Mariel connected with Nashville based alt-Americana producer, Jarrad K (Ruston Kelly, Lucie Silvas, Fancy Hagood, Goo Goo Dolls) for her new single, Vending Machines. Marking the beginning of a new sonic and individual chapter, the song exudes darker instrumentation and themes. Despite having grittier undertones, the writing is intentionally vulnerable and specific, resulting in something inviting and universal. “Vending Machines” explores themes of self-doubt, uncertainty, and questioning one's path.

Opera in the Park: La Bohéme
The Santa Fe Opera is pleased to announce the return of Opera in the Park with a free, public screening of Giacomo Puccini’s LA BOHÈME at the Santa Fe Railyard Park on Sunday, September 21 at 4:30 pm.
The company invites long-time opera fans and curious newcomers to bring a picnic and enjoy the live-recorded performance in stunning resolution and vivid operatic sound, celebrating the magic of open-air opera from The Crosby Theatre.
The new production, which opened the opera’s season on June 27, has received enthusiastic acclaim from audiences and critics alike. Peter Alexander for Sharps and Flatirons writes, “The cast is strong, the sets intriguing, the orchestra excellent, as always. And Santa Fe nights lend themselves perfectly to this drama of bohemian companionship, young love and loss.”
This event is part of the opera’s 68th Festival Season celebrations and ongoing commitment to bringing the joy of opera to the communities of New Mexico.

PILE Live at Tumbleroot
Sunshine and Balance Beams, Pile’s ninth album, alchemizes metaphors with its title. The first: finding happiness in nature and oneself. Second: the woozy posture one must strike to stay afloat in commercial society. These concepts seem antithetical—“But they might actually be the same thing,” hints guitarist, songwriter and singer Rick Maguire. On its newest record, Pile weaves a Sisyphean fable concerned with labor and living. “The fulfillment I receive from pursuing art has been a guiding force for me,” says Maguire. “But it can be damaging when that pursuit teases capitalist expectations of where you might be able to go, and then doesn’t square with the reality that follows.” Pile presents this parable with jagged guitars, sputtering drum bombast, eerie synths and aqueous strings, with panoramic production and loud-quiet dynamism matching the emotionality of the band’s thunderous performances.
Pile formed in 2007 as Maguire’s solo outlet, soon joined by time-warping drummer Kris Kuss (in 2009) and fuzzed-yet-melodic bassist Matt Connery (in 2010), among other friends; with its explosively intricate take on heavy music, the band found devoted fans amid Boston’s bustling punk scene. Since then, Pile’s released eight acclaimed albums, each showcasing different facets of its members’ talents. Dripping, the post-hardcore 2012 breakthrough, encapsulated the frenetic power of epic basement gigs. 2017’s A Hairshirt of Purpose twisted Pile’s angularities for greater clarity, incorporating strings without losing menace. Connery’s temporary departure after this record brought respected engineer and peer Alex Molini in on bass; the electronic experimentalism of All Fiction (2023) deepened the production relationship between Maguire and Molini, proving the band’s exploratory commitment as lifelong. That doesn’t scratch Pile’s dozen other releases, including B-side compilations, outtake EPs, demo cassettes, and live reworkings. They’ve earned a reputation as workhorses, crafting thought-provoking riffs while maintaining a tour schedule of international headlining, festival slots, and support for legendary and likeminded artists like Jesus Lizard and Cursive.

Jordan Wax and Zoe Agua LIVE
Join violinist Zoe Aqua (NY/Romania) and accordionist Jordan Wax (Santa Fe) for an acoustic concert presenting Zoe and Jordan's compositions. Both artists are based in decades of study of Ashkenazi musical traditions and have recently created bodies of contemporary work that explore how those traditions can be renewed and recontextualized in conversation with the diverse cultures they neighbor in diaspora.
$20 suggested donation, no one turned away.
From 2021-23, Aqua was a Fulbright scholar in Romania, living in Cluj and working as a folklorist studying folk music traditions in the multi-ethnic Transylvania region and developing relationships with elder fiddle players with whom she studied and conducted field research. Her recent album, "In a Sea of Stars" (Adyaropa Records 2025) synthesizes her experience as a klezmer fiddler with a deep involvement with poly-ethnic traditions in Northern Romania, bringing a Jewish voice back into dialogue with a landscape from which it has been absent since the Holocaust.
Wax lives in Santa Fe County, where for the past 15 years he has studied heirloom music and language traditions in the context of Hispanic New Mexican, Mexican, and Ashkenazi cultures. His compositions are rooted his own deep Diaspora communities and in three decades of friendships with elders who have imparted the subtleties of spoken secular Yiddish and the musical sensibilities of the professional klezmer–not as heirlooms to be preserved, but as pathways to continuity, vitality, and relevance which must be renewed in each generation through radical creativity and cross-cultural pollination with the rhythms of Yiddish’s diasporic homes. His recent album, "The Heart Deciphers" (Borscht Beat 2025), features original compositions that comment on contemporary issues from a secular Yiddish-language perspective rooted in New Mexico.
The Forest Has 1,000 Eyes
Join us on Saturday, September 20th for a special evening with artist Dietmar Busse as we celebrate the opening of his newest exhibition, The Forest Has 1,000 Eyes.
Private Tour with the Artist | 4:00 PM
Busse will personally guide guests through the exhibition, offering an intimate look into his process and the inspirations behind his work.
Opening Reception | 5:00–7:00 PM
Open to the public.
This exhibition presents a hauntingly beautiful series of unique chemical paintings on gelatin silver photographic paper. Drawing on memories of his childhood in rural Germany during the 1960s and 70s, Busse blends darkroom chemicals, dyes, colored pencil, and drawing into evocative compositions where human figures, animals, and mythic imagery converge. His imagery recalls ancient petroglyphs while balancing themes of apprehension and joy, memory and myth.
Busse’s practice transforms photography into a vessel of emotional transparency, weaving together family narrative and archetypal storytelling. The Forest Has 1,000 Eyes invites viewers to step into a world both deeply personal and universally resonant.
About the Artist
Born in Stalzenau, Germany in 1966, Busse has lived and worked in New York City since 1991. His recent exhibition, Fairy Tales 1991–1999 at Amant in Brooklyn, received widespread critical acclaim in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Guardian, and more. His work has been exhibited internationally at the Museum Schloss Moyland in Germany, Wereldmuseum in Rotterdam, and the Leslie Lohman Museum in New York, and has appeared in The New Yorker, TIME, and The New York Times Magazine.

LIT and Fuel
Just as the nineties dissolved into the 21st century, Lit charged up rock ‘n’ roll with uncompromising punk energy and a power pop punch. However, the Orange County-born band left an imprint on popular culture that only fissured wider over the years like a California fault line. Who could forget the immortal lyric, “Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk?” or the time Pamela Anderson devoured the band whole in the “Miserable” music video – HERE.
The group outlasted the next two decades as well. They stood out as the rare act whose presence could be felt loud and clear at Woodstock ’99. Twenty years after its initial release, the Billboard Music Award-winning “My Own Worst Enemy” HERE not only went double-platinum, but Post Malone also covered it on Instagram Live as did Kelly Clarkson HERE and Jimmy Fallon on his late night show HERE. Further speaking to their enduring influence, they’ve inspired think pieces by everyone from American Songwriter HERE to Kerrang! HERE, while Consequence of Sound named them one of the “100 Best Pop Punk Bands.” Not to mention, their music blared through American Reunion, Central Intelligence, Parks and Recreation, Rock Band, and beyond as they also impressively averaged over 2.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
The guys have amassed a catalog highlighted by fan favorites such as the platinum A Place in the Sun [1999], Atomic [2001], Lit [2004], The View From The Bottom [2012], and These Are The Days [2017]. Meanwhile, they teased the next chapter with “Yeah Yeah Yeah” in 2021, arriving to acclaim from Loudwire, Alternative Press, and more.
Now, the quartet—brothers Ajay [vocals] and Jeremy Popoff [guitar], Kevin Baldes [bass], and Taylor Carroll [drums]—continue to do what they do best on their seventh full-length album and 2022 debut for Round Hill Records, Tastes Like Gold.
“We made a conscious decision to go back to when we had arrived at what we represented musically,” says Ajay. “It took a little bit of time to cleanse the palette and hit reset. However, the creativity flowed better than it had in the past couple of decades.”
“We just decided to make what people expect from Lit and, honestly, what we expect from Lit,” exclaims Jeremy. “Our fans have been very cool and gracious over the years. They’ve allowed us to grow, change, morph, and explore. At the end of the day though, Lit means something to people, and we wanted to get back to that. Once the lockdowns happened, it was even more difficult to go back to that place when we were in our early twenties in an Anaheim warehouse with cases of cheap beer and friends without a care in the world other than the next show. While everybody reevaluated the whole world, we tried to make a really fun rock ‘n’ roll record.”
So, that’s what they did…
By the time the Global Pandemic hit, the Popoff brothers had both traded Sunny Southern California for Music City, even hitching ride on Jamey Johnson’s tour bus to Nashville. They hit the studio with cowriters and co-producers Carlo Colasacco and Eric Paquette, re-energizing and reinvigorating their sound.
“Those two had a big role in relighting the Lit torch,” says Kevin. “Our drummer Taylor is a monster too, and a big part of the energy of this record. ”
“They are younger dudes that grew up big Lit fans,” Jeremy goes on. “So, as we inspired them along the way, they inspired us with their modern and fresh approach to making music. We stripped it back down to the basics, and they gave us a new school energy actually inspired by what we’re known for. We focused on what Lit means to people, what it means to us, and embraced who we are. Even though we’re older and wiser now, we still love the same things we’ve always loved. Right out of the gate, we said, ‘We‘re not talking about viruses, politics, or any of that shit’. We still have a great time, party, and make music that sounds better loud.”
That’s definitely the case with the first single “Kicked Off The Plane.” The head-nodding beat and palm-muted riff underline a real-life recollection of a recent instance when the dudes were unceremoniously booted from a flight for nursing something else other than water in coffee cups…The chantable refrain instantly captivates as Ajay asks, “What’s one more walk of shame?”
“When we first started out, it took a lot to get kicked off a plane,” the front man grins. “Last year, our flight kept getting delayed, so we kept drinking. Once we got on the plane, a flight attendant asked our very honest sound guy what was in his cup. We were thrown off! It’s similar to ‘My Own Worst Enemy’ lyrically, because we’re still doing things that get us into trouble,” Ajay laughs.
Then, there’s “Mouth Shut.” The single details why it’s important to be seen and not heard sometimes as another anthemic hook takes hold over a boisterous riff and arena-ready beat.
“It’s about keeping your thoughts to yourself, because sometimes it’s not worth speaking,” affirms Jeremy.
“It’s also good advice for a marriage,” Ajay elaborates. “I’ve learned that one the hard way. We’ve all regretted hitting ‘send’ on at least one text or Instagram story!”
“Do It Again” hinges on a hummable acoustic guitar melody before giving way to another soaring chorus. It might just be the perfect pre-game banger.
“It’s the party anthem,” Jeremy reveals. “You’re a glutton for punishment, but you’re back for round two. It’s the story of our life.”
On the other end of the spectrum, “The Life That I Got” takes stock of what matters in life as Ajay screams, “Maybe I ain’t got a lot, I never balled in a mansion or a yacht, but I’m in love with the motherfucking life that I got.”
“We’ve touched on this sentiment on every record,” Jeremy continues. “We go back to a simpler time. We just loved life, and we still do today. If you keep looking for what’s next, you forget to look at what’s right now. The song is a reminder.”
In the end, Tastes Like Gold is Lit, and that’s more than enough.
“We managed to not only make a classic record with a modern approach, but we did it during a pandemic,” Jeremy leaves off. “We realized you don’t have to be consumed by negativity and social media to the point where it stifles your ability to have fun, be happy, and do what you’re good at. Maybe the music inspires you to turn all of the other shit off and get back to what makes you happy.”
“I want you to hear it and go, ‘Lit’s back’, but they’re not going backwards,” Ajay concludes. “This is new Lit, but we hope it’s the Lit you fell in love with.”
FUEL
Destiny unfolds unexpectedly. However, it pushes us exactly where we’re supposed to be at just the right time. In this respect, you could say the 2021 rebirth of GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi platinum rock band Fuel was simply meant to be.
Formed in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania by guitarist-songwriter Carl Bell in 1989. They are known for their hit songs “Shimmer” from the album Sunburn, “Hemorrhage (In My Hands)” and “Bad Day” from the album Something Like Human, as well as “Falls on Me” from the album Natural Selection as well as many other rock singles and albums. In addition, the band had multiple videos in heavy rotation on MTV, numerous live network TV performances in the US, Canada, and Australia, and songs on film soundtracks such as Scream 3, Daredevil, A Walk to Remember, and Godzilla. The album Sunburn is certified platinum by the RIAA, and the album Something Like Human is certified double-platinum. "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" held the #1 spot on Billboard’s Rock charts for over 3 months and in 2013 became the No. 6 Alternative Rock song of the past 25 years according to Billboard's Alternative Chart 25th Anniversary Top 100 Songs.
After rebuilding their brotherhood, founder, guitarist, and songwriter Carl Bell and longtime drummer Kevin Miller didn’t just celebrate their history together. They rushed into the future joined by new blood—Aaron Scott [lead vocals, guitar] from The Voice, Mark Klotz [guitar, vocals], and Tommy Nat [bass, vocals]—and armed with their first album together in 18 years, Ånomåly. Much like the title suggests, it serves as the aberration rock music needs.

The Swell Season
The Swell Season is back. After reconvening for a limited number of sold-out shows in March 2022, followed by a more extensive US tour in August 2023, the duo returns with new music. A studio session that started out as an effort to create a couple new singles to bring with them on tour, ended up yielding a full length album, fittingly titled ´Forward´. Although The Swell Season released a stand alone single ´The Answer Is Yes´ in June 2023, ´Forward´ will be their first full length album in 16 years.
The album consists of 8 tracks written by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, who take turns singing the lead. Building on the foundation of and with respect to their shared history, they move forward as two equals, supporting and lifting each other up. Accompanied by old band members Joe Doyle, Marja Gaynor and Bertrand Galen, joined by Piero Perelli, and produced by Sturla Mio Thorisson, they create a sound both old and new for The Swell Season.
Irglová and Hansard came to prominence together starring in the 2007 film Once and winning the Academy Award for Best Original Song with their composition “Falling Slowly” in 2008. The soundtrack garnered two Grammy nominations and the two christened their project, The Swell Season. They went on to release the critically acclaimed album Strict Joy and touring the world before branching out into solo careers.
In 2012, Once, The Musical debuted and went on to be nominated for eleven Tonys, winning eight including Best Musical. It ran for three years on Broadway and is currently still in production as a touring musical. In 2014 the musical was nominated for five Laurence Olivier awards with Hansard and Irglova winning for Outstanding Achievement in Music. Over the course of the last decade, Once, in all its iterations, has become a modern classic and a cultural touchstone being referenced in everything from The Simpsons to Ted Lasso. The fan base created by this modern masterpiece looms large in the minds and hearts of many.
Since the success of Once, Irglová has released three studio albums, the most recent one of them being LILA, recorded with an Icelandic producer Sturla Mio Thorisson at their Masterkey studio in Iceland. LILA reflects on Irglová’s journey from her “Girl from a Movie” status to wife, mother and artist.
Hansard has released 5 studio albums, the most recent one of them being ´All That Was East Is West Of Me Now´ released in October 2023, exactly one year after the release of “Take Heart” single featuring the Ukrainian Action, upon spending time with Ukrainian refugees in Ireland. Earlier in ‘22 he toured as part of Eddie Vedder’s Earthlings band and was featured on the Flag Day soundtrack with Vedder and Cat Power.

Raids on the Inarticulate by David Olivant
Raids on the Inarticulate
David Olivant
August 26 - September 12, 2025
Reception: August 29, 5-7pm
Strata Gallery presents Establish Artist Member solo exhibition, Raids on the Inarticulate by New Mexico based artist David Olivant. The exhibition opens August 26th and runs through September 12th, with a special reception on August 29th from 5-7pm.
David Olivant’s imagery is centered on the fundamental existential crises that define our humanity. Is our species capable of the necessary moral energy to reinvent itself from the ground up and to what extent is art the driver of such an effort? Olivant seeks an art that fights its way out of and through history, finding meaning in suffering and the fraught attempt to “complete” each other through fundamental difference.
Olivant stated, “In a time when compromise, complacency, confusion, complicity and the hegemony of the couch increasingly govern our actions I hope to point the finger as much at myself as at others in the fraught attempt to make historically and humanly answerable art despite circumstances.”
David Olivant received his MFA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London. His work has been featured in solo exhibitions in New York City, Chicago, Brooklyn, Dusseldorf, Wuppertal, and New Delhi. His book “Bakhtin and the Prospect of a Methodology for Rethinking Visual Art” is scheduled for publication by Intellect Books, UK in Spring 2026.
Strata Gallery is open from 11am to 5pm Tuesday – Saturday. For more information about Strata Gallery, the current exhibit, and the future schedule of events, please visit the Strata Gallery website, Instagram, or Facebook.
