Albuquerque's newest Open Space area is a 4-mile, 1,000 foot BioZone along the largely ephemeral Tijeras Creek just east of Albuquerque along old Route 66. The Creek feeds Albuquerque's aquifer, making it critical for the city's water supply, as well as an oasis for variety of plants and animals. The site contains several cool old buildings and amazing cottonwood trees. It's going to be a strikingly beautiful place for concerts!

Albuquerque, NM, rock/alt folk/alt country/singer-songwriter JD Nash has experienced a little bit of everything, touring across the US in previous bands, while dabbling in a handful of different genres over the last decade. His band, JD Nash and the Rash of Cash, is coming at you hotter than a branding iron on a cow's hide. They're likely to play some of your favorite classic country tunes, as well as some modern alternative country. As always, with their very own blend of high-desert vibes. One thing is for sure, they'll have you two-steppin' the night away and wanting more.
