Luna & Poesia
March is National Women’s Month, and Flock of Moons Brewing Company (111 Harvard Dr. SE) is getting into the spirit with its monthly Luna & Poesia event. On Friday, March 7, from 7 to 9 p.m., host Don McIver showcases a chapbook full of local poetic luminaries, including Aspen Keith, Rich Boucher, Rowie Shebala and Erica Photiades. Jessica Helen Lopez, City of ABQ Poet Laureate Emerita, headlines with a reading from her new book, My Heart is a Pomegranate/Mi Corazón es una Granada. The musical feature for the evening is the “indubitable and amazing” Keith Sanchez. There is no cover charge to get in. Beer will be flowing from the taps, as always, and a food truck will be parked outside if you need to fuel up for the free verse.
Velocity Irish Dance
Get geared up for St. Patrick’s Day (March 17, don’t ye know) with a visit from the Velocity Irish Dance troupe. World-champion Irish dancers David Geaney and James Devine lead a company devoted to exploring the past, present, and future of Irish and tap dance through complex rhythms and choreography. Fresh off a celebrated appearance on Broadway, the group visits New Mexico bringing their fast-paced footwork and exceptional live music accompaniment to Popejoy Hall (203 Cornell Dr.) on Saturday, March 8 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 to $69 and are available through popejoypresents.evenue.net/.
Bonnie Raitt
World renowned singer/songwriter Bonnie Raitt graces Albuquerque’s Kiva Auditorium (401 Second St. NW) with her musical abilities on Saturday, March 8 at 7:30 p.m. The blues/folk/country rock legend was honored as part of the Kennedy Center’s 47th Class of Honorees in Washington, DC last December and recently caused a splash in the music industry when English singer-songwriter Charli XCX sampled “Nick of Time,” the title track from Raitt’s 1989 Grammy winning Album of the Year. Blues rock slide guitarist Roy Rogers is the special opening act. Tickets are disappearing fast, so pick one up at albuquerquecc.com/events-calendar/bonnie-raitt-live-2025/. They start at $80.
Hi,
I submitted an event for March 11 — Tom Oneill, who is a protest folk singer– at the Unitarian Church, 7pm. I dont see this event listed. Will it be listed later? thanks, Edna Loehman 720-989-xxxx
Hello Edna. I believe the performer you are hosting is named “Tom Neilson” not “Tom ONeill.” You can find the listing here: https://calendar.abq.news/calendars/all-events/4174909
