It’s the time of year when summer will start slowing down and, unfortunately, that means live music will be slowing down, too. The good news is that there are still plenty of road-trip worthy shows coming to the Colorado and New Mexico region.
In Albuquerque, we’ve got performances by Sugarland at Sandia Amphitheater and the Devil Wears Prada at Launchpad. Over in Santa Fe, Everything is Terrible! and A-Trak at the infamous Meow Wolf. In Durango, we’ve got everything from the Stillhouse Junkies at Animas City Theatre to An Evening With Bob Goldthwait at Community Concert Hall. See? Never fear. There’s lots to choose from.
