Paul Oakenfold + The Crystal Method w/ Liquid Todd & Adobe Disco Afterparty
2026-07-18 19:00 | The Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing, 37 Fire Place, Santa Fe, NM, United States
PAUL OAKENFOLD
Paul Oakenfold, one of the first global superstar DJs, celebrates over 30 years of his influential label with Perfecto 30—a worldwide series of events, releases, and a documentary highlighting his impact on electronic music. From pioneering Ibiza’s club scene to headlining major festivals and producing for artists like Madonna and U2, Oakenfold helped bring underground sounds like trance and EDM into the mainstream. The campaign includes global performances revisiting iconic tracks, new music from emerging artists, and continued reach through his Perfecto Radio show, which draws millions of weekly listeners. More than a label, Perfecto has become a lasting force in dance music, and Oakenfold is marking the milestone by returning to his roots with the underground sounds that started it all.
THE CRYSTAL METHOD
For nearly three decades, The Crystal Method has remained one of the most influential and well-respected acts in electronic music. Co-founded by Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan in 1993, the GRAMMY®-nominated duo pioneered the big beat genre and defined the sound of a generation, beginning with their platinum-selling debut, Vegas (1997).
To date, The Crystal Method has played more than 1300 shows—headlining EDC, Lollapalooza, and Ultra Miami—while their music has appeared in more than 100 film, TV, and video game soundtracks. Along the way, TCM has released such best-selling titles as Tweekend (2001), Legion of Boom (2004), and Divided by Night (2009)—the latter two of which earned GRAMMY® nods for Best Dance/Electronic Album. While Jordan retired in 2017, Kirkland reimagined The Crystal Method as a solo act. Now, the innovative artist continues the evolution with TCM’s seventh studio album, and his second solo outing, The Trip Out.
LIQUID TODD
Liquid Todd is an award-winning DJ and programmer at SiriusXM, known for his dance radio shows, live performances, original music, remixes, and Twitch streams. He has created popular shows for SiriusXM and major radio stations across North America.

Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Mercy Now
“I am excited to announce that this year is the 20th Anniversary of the release Mercy Now, a record that changed my life. We are celebrating with a vinyl re-release and a tour. I’m not really one to look back, but reflecting on these ten songs feels more like standing still long enough to take stock, and appreciating the grace that brought them into existence. These shows will be a continuation of a long conversation with kindred souls, like you, who understand the alchemy of song. Kindred souls who know a sad song doesn’t make the darkness deeper; it gives it a shape, a name, shines the light on it, and brings forth hope. ‘Yeah, we all could use a little mercy now…’” —Mary Gauthier
Mercy Now helped establish Gauthier as one of the preeminent voices in Americana music at the time. The same year the record was released, Gauthier was named the New Artist of the Year by the Americana Music Association. Mercy Now was also recognized among the Top 10 Albums of 2005 by outlets like the LA Times, New York Times, No Depression and Billboard. The record’s title track and enduring favorite “I Drink” has been covered by artists including Boy George, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw and Lynn Moffatt over the years.
Gauthier released her most recent new album, Dark Enough to See the Stars, in 2022. In 2024, she also reissued her 1999 debut, Drag Queens In Limousines, in honor of its 25th anniversary. She published a nonfiction book on the art of songwriting, Saved By A Song, in 2021.

Old 97's w/ River Shook
2026-07-22 19:00 - 22:00 | The Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing, 37 Fire Place, Santa Fe, NM, United States
OLD 97’s
The thirteenth studio album from Old 97’s, American Primitive arose from what vocalist/guitarist Rhett Miller refers to as a “de-evolution” of the legendary Dallas-bred band. “As much as I want us to calm down and grow up, the songs that felt right for this record were mostly big and loud and brutal and dirty,” says Miller, whose bandmates include bassist Murry Hammond, guitarist Ken Bethea, and drummer Philip Peeples. Arriving just months before the 30th anniversary of Hitchhike to Rhome—a powerhouse debut that played a vital part in pioneering the alt-country genre—the result is a gloriously rowdy body of work, revealing a veteran band more attuned than ever to the raw and reckless energy of truly timeless rock-and-roll.
With its title lifted from a bit of fictional art criticism in Stephen King’s psych-horror novel Duma Key, American Primitive merges its unvarnished sound with the punchy yet poignant storytelling signature to Old 97’s, radiating a rambunctious joy even as Miller’s lyrics contend with complex questions of love and mental illness and the routinely daunting state of the world. Produced by Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, The Decemberists, Neko Case) and featuring iconic guest musicians like Peter Buck of R.E.M. and Scott McCaughey of The Young Fresh Fellows and The Minus 5, the album took shape in a series of deliberately whirlwind sessions at Flora Studio in Portland, Oregon. “This was the first record we’ve ever done with zero pre-production,” Miller points out. “It’s us working completely on instinct, leaning on 30 years of playing together to come up with something on the fly rather than overthinking any of our choices.”
Kicking off with the frenzied riffs and restless grooves of “Falling Down,” American Primitive opens on a lyric encapsulating the album’s snarling joie de vivre: “You’ve got to dance like the world is falling down around you, because it is.” Next, on “Somebody,” Old 97’s deliver a thumping punkabilly anthem channeling both desire and doom. “That song came from looking back over my relationship history and acknowledging that I spent a long time as something of a serial monogamist,” says Miller. “As a young man I was in love with the idea of being in love, and I wanted ‘Somebody’ to speak to the hopelessness of exiting a very intense relationship and knowing you’re just going to rush right into the next one.” From there, American Primitive bursts into the breakneck urgency of its title track, a gorgeous entangling of poetic observation and feverishly expressed longing. “I was sitting on the balcony of a hotel in Peachtree, Georgia, watching the sun setting over the forest and trying to identify the trees, and I started writing what began as meditation on nature but eventually turned into a song about missing someone,” Miller recalls. “I wound up taking inspiration from that phrase in the Stephen King novel, which felt like a perfect description for our band and how primitive and unstudied we are.”
Another track born from Miller’s contemplation of the natural world, lead single “Where The Road Goes” slips into a lush and hypnotic reverie, achieved in part through Buck’s arpeggiated 12-string guitar and a trance-inducing drum loop dreamed up by Peeples and Martine. “I was in Montana and found myself on the banks of the Blackfoot River, watching the water pounding with a ferocious power, and I started building this song as a statement of gratitude for having survived this long,” says Miller. “It revisits some of the darkest moments of my life, including a suicide attempt at age 14 that by all rights I shouldn’t have lived through and yet somehow did. In a way it’s like a spiritual travelogue that rolls back through all the places that shaped me for better or worse, and ends up in this beautiful place that I felt so thankful to experience.”
A distinctly literary lyricist who’s authored a number of children’s books and written for publications like McSweeney’s and The Atlantic, Miller threads American Primitive with so much lived-in yet dreamlike detail, such as on the sublimely blistering “Masterpiece” (“So I sank to the bottom of the hotel pool/You drank sunshine like you always do/Then it rained broken glass on your paperback/The ink ran and so did I, never said goodbye/Just fade to black”). “Magic” serves up a jittery piece of power-pop echoing the anguish of grasping for salvation, while “Western Stars” presents an intimate portrait of pained isolation inspired by an epic Alfred Lord Tennyson poem that Miller memorized in high school. Equal parts sprawling rumination and freewheeling joyride, the album also spans from the stripped-back benediction of “Incantation” to the sweetly skewed whimsy of “Honeypie” (a loping and lighthearted love song featuring McCaughey on piano and Buck on mandolin). And on “Estuviera Cayendo,” American Primitive closes out with an instrumental reprise of “Falling Down,” beautifully reimagined on flamenco guitar by guest musician Jeff Trapp.
In choosing the cover art for American Primitive, Old 97’s selected a painting created by Hammond’s 17-year-old son Tex Hammond—a prodigious talent who, at age 14, became the youngest artist ever to exhibit at the prestigious LA Art Show. It’s a fitting choice for a band who’ve maintained a certain youthful exuberance more than three decades into their career, and for an album in which a palpable sense of wonder prevails despite its world-weary undercurrent. “Over the last year of touring in celebration of our 30th anniversary, it’s been impossible not feel some emotion welling up at the idea that my bandmates and I have been in this close brotherhood for so long,” says Miller. “I think a lot of that longevity has to do with the fact that we’re really the same band we were back then. We’ve experimented with pushing in different directions, and we’ve had experiences outside the band where we’ve learned new things, but the way we approach this music has fundamentally remained the same. Our heart is still in the exact same place.”

Beach Bunny & The Beths w/ Wishy
2026-07-31 19:00 | The Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing, 37 Fire Place, Santa Fe, NM, United States
BEACH BUNNY
On 2025’s Tunnel Vision, Beach Bunny is getting back to basics: urgent, guitar-based indie rock with pop melodies. Woven through the album, “Just Around the Corner” echoes dynamic ’90s indie rock courtesy of fuzzed-out guitars and crashing drums, while slashing riffs and precise rhythms propel the melodic “Big Pink Bubble.” “Violence,” meanwhile, veers between a chorus propelled by buzzing guitars and Trifilio’s pleading vocals and a buoyant chorus hook; “Chasm” is driving punk-pop; and the vivacious title track is a pogo-worthy rock anthem.
“On Tunnel Vision, we wanted to get back to our guitar roots and some of that original sound we had,” says vocalist/guitarist songwriter Lili Trifilio. “This one was more like a classic Beach Bunny record.”
Beginning a decade ago as a Trifilio solo project, Beach Bunny have amassed a loyal fanbase thanks to things such as constant touring and collaborations with artists like Tegan and Sara and Marina. And today, Beach Bunny continues to nurture their community with appearances at Coachella and Lollapalooza and by curating their own Pool Party festivals in their hometown of Chicago.
So far, this approach has worked like a charm. The band—the name refers interchangeably to both Trifilio and the full band that also features bassist/lead guitarist Anthony Vaccaro and drummer Jon Alvarado—has landed viral hits such as the RIAA-certified Platinum “Prom Queen” and “Cloud 9” and the RIAA-certified Gold “Sports,” and earned over a billion streams on Spotify alone plus countless appearances on critics’ best of the year lists. 2022’s Emotional Creature, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart, while “Vertigo,” the first single released from Tunnel Vision, became their highest charting song at AAA radio to date upon its 2024 release.
THE BETHS
“One of the greatest indie-rock bands of their time.” – Rolling Stone
New Zealand indie rock heroes The Beths’ latest album Straight Line Was A Lie is a catchy, instant classic. Written in Los Angeles and self-recorded in the band’s hometown of Auckland, Straight Line Was A Lie (their first release for ANTI-) follows 2022’s critically celebrated LP Expert in A Dying Field. Lead singer and songwriter Liz Stokes delves deeper into her psyche to address everything from roundabout progress to physical and mental health challenges, and fraught family dynamics. Inspired by The Go-Go’s, Olivia Rodrigo, filmmaker Akira Kurosawa, and Stephen King’s On Writing, amongst others, Stokes’ songwriting has achieved startling new depths of insight and vulnerability. Fans will agree that Straight Line Was A Lie is the most sharply observant, truthful, and poetic Beths project to date.

legendary weirdo with a heart of gold

Led by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Barnes, of Montreal have spent nearly three decades redefining pop, with their kaleidoscopic blend of glam rock, psychedelia, funk, and synth-driven indie rock. Emerging from the Elephant 6 Recording Company in the late ’90s, the band quickly built a cult following for their inventive songwriting and wildly theatrical live performances.
From the breakthrough brilliance of Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? to a steady run of boundary-pushing releases, of Montreal have remained fearless sonic shapeshifters—equally at home crafting hook-laden anthems as they are exploring surreal, experimental textures. The band’s prolific output has led to numerous late-night TV appearances—including The Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon—and brilliant collaborations with artists such as Solange, Janelle Monáe, and Jon Brion.
On stage, they transform concerts into immersive spectacles of color, costume, and cathartic energy. The band has performed across the globe, gracing festival stages at Coachella, Primavera, Lollapalooza, Vive Latino among dozens of others and headlining countless marquee venues, while also amassing hundreds of millions of streams worldwide. With a new tour on the horizon, of Montreal continue to celebrate their legacy while pushing boldly forward—delivering a live experience that is as unpredictable and electrifying as ever.

Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears
2026-08-13 19:30 | Tumbleroot, 2791 Agua Fria St, Santa Fe, NM, United States
Black Joe Lewis is the realest motherfucker there is. When Covid shut down touring, he went and poured concrete to support his baby mama and his kid. That’s not a story, that’s real life. When Joe and the Honeybears hit the national stage over a decade ago, critics paid attention, but there were always a few saying he hadn’t paid his dues. Funny thing is, Joe’s still here. Still grinding. Still snapping necks and cashing checks. He’s lived the whole cycle: the highs, the letdowns, the long roads and low-hanging fruit. Through it all, he’s sharpened his grip on gut-bucket blues guitar and found his true voice.
It’s a vital, distinctly American voice, one that never chased attention and never expected it. It just happened. The garage, the blues, the sweat-drenched live shows that live somewhere between James Brown, Lightnin’ Hopkins, and the MC5 were baked in from the start. You couldn’t package it or explain it. You had to be there.
Sharon Jones. Charles Bradley. Cedric Burnside and Lightnin’ Malcolm. The Dirtbombs. Detroit Cobras. The Strange Boys. That’s a roll call of a moment, one that’s mostly been flattened and commodified since. Joe was there on the ground floor, where guitars were greasy and the stakes were real. He’s one of the last still standing.

LA-based artist and producer Yung Bae might be best known for heralding the rise of Future Funk, stewarding the sub-genre from the underground into a cult-like phenomenon. From anime-themed Tumblr memes to shutting down stages across the world, Yung Bae has an extensive catalog spanning nine albums, including his prolific Bae series and Groove Continental, on which Bae welcomed a multitude of star power into his universe resulting in collaborations with Nile Rodgers, Channel Tres, AWOLNATION, Pink Sweat$, and more.
Yung Bae immediately grabs his listeners with a sound design that dances between 70’s funk and disco, smooth jazz, old school hip-hop and draws influence from ’90s anime and arcade video games. Having grown his niche fanbase through the wonders of the internet and social media, Yung Bae exploded with his viral single “Bad Boy” featuring bbno$ and has continuously evolved his sound while maintaining undeniable grooves. To sift through his nostalgic samples would surely be a day well spent, but it’s the way he brings them together in a colorful, quirky vapor-bounce style that keeps listeners coming back.

Steven Von Till w/ Six Organs of Admittance
2026-08-27 19:00 - 23:00 | Sister, 407 Central Ave. NW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102, United States
Steven Von Till of Neurosis.

Physically enveloping, forebodingly beautiful, and drawing on the animistic spirit of the natural world, Steve Von Till announces his seventh solo LP arriving on May 16th via Neurot Recordings. Ploughing a different furrow, Alone in a World of Wounds is an album of sweeping gothic tinged Americana, tripped out drones, beautiful world weary vocal melodies and slowly unfurling cello arrangements. Initially inspired by the harmonic resonance of piano and synths and his long standing love of ambient music, Alone in a World of Wounds follows 2021’s No Wilderness Deep Enough in reflective ambience. Opening up his voice in ways he has never done before, the album’s genesis came via intuitive improvisations. “The complex overtones of upright piano and synthesisers really inspired me to sing out more, to seek out the implied harmonies, and to find unique approaches within the limitations of my voice.” says Von Till ‘It is the transcendent nature of music, the cathartic healing process where I can leave everything behind and become one with sound. When you allow yourself to go beyond the ordinary you might be fortunate enough to find a moment where you are creating in alignment with the flow of the river of the universe.’ The search for deeper connection, living with the sorrow of our separation from the natural world, and relying on gut level intuition to get closer to the primal creative state are all key to Von Till’s creative process. Recorded mostly at his barn studio at home in Idaho and mixed at Circular Ruin in Brooklyn, NY, with storied producer Randall Dunn ( Jóhann Jóhannsson, Sunn O))), Earth, Jim Jarmusch), Alone in a World of Wounds also boasts cover artwork from Spokane, WA based alternative process photographer Brian Deemy – who works with colloidal wet plate ‘tintype’ aesthetics, which compliment Von Till’s uniquely ancient yet grounded aesthetic, and one that perfectly matches his desire to reimagine the connection between the human and the more than human world. ‘I often wonder where the psychological break was that caused the fatal delusion that we have dominion over the natural world, how it is reduced to existing solely for our benefit. Whenever that disconnect was – I believe it to be the root of most of our problems as a society, in relationships, and even within ourselves and our own minds. It always comes back to the fact that we must have a conscious shift back to understanding that we’re all part of a living animate earth: and that we need to think of the rivers and the mountains and the weather as part of us and us as part of the world. We are wild things but we’ve forgotten. Without this shift in consciousness we’re screwed. That’s the overarching theme. And when I look back on my life it’s becoming more explicit and more clear that this is always what I’ve been singing about’

Faetooth rescheduled date!
Faetooth is a three-piece “fairy doom” band originating from Los Angeles. The group is composed of Ari May as guitarist and vocalist, Jenna Garcia as bassist and vocalist, and Rah Kanan on drums. Formed in 2019, the group sought to navigate personal vulnerability and musical experimentation by delving deep into the nature of self, the beauty inherent in the natural world, and the captivating mysteries that surround us.
Drawing inspiration from doom metal, black metal, shoegaze, and sludge, the term “fairy-doom” aptly characterizes their distinctive fusion of sounds.

Yungchen Lhamo

Imagine a life based on unconditional love. A life filled with compassion, lived in service of others. A life of prayers and offerings and song.
Now imagine a voice so unique and beautiful, so utterly compelling, that it brings birds to roost in trees and makes wild animals stop in their tracks and listen. A voice as pure as a singing bowl. A voice with a range that astonishes and a force, a vibration, that uplifts and restores.
Then welcome—welcome back—the wonder that is Yungchen Lhamo.
“I sing to help transform people’s minds and make them better human beings,” says the globally renowned Tibetan singer. “We are living in difficult times. But together, bit by bit, we can change the world.”
Lhamo’s seventh album One Drop of Kindness is a glorious reminder, a golden encouragement, for us to do precisely that. Co-produced with John Alevizakis at Little Buddha Studio on the forested slopes of California’s Sierra Nevada, the recording is a fresh take on an ancient practice, a work whose seven songs—or better still, seven offerings—are flavored by musicians on everything from piano, flute, drums and electric guitar to didgeridoo, Indian violin, the Turkish cümbüs-oud and the Armenian duduk-oboe.
