This Weekend

Bluegrass, bees and Beas.

Ottino and Sawyer join forces for the good of the region's bluegrass fans. Did we mention it's outside?

Art about words, we love that, and that is what this artist says his show is about. He deconstructs letter and word forms to create the interesting shapes in his work. Maybe you can see them clearly if you have a few glasses of wine at this opening.

The first exhibition at a new venue features works by New Mexico and Arizona artists including Janet Abrams, Julia Barello, Susan Beiner, Melissa Cody and Brian Fleetwood (see SFR Picks).


Join Olivia Carril, melittologist, on a native bee walk to visit and identify the many species of native bees living in the Railyard Park, followed by a tour of the Railyard's native bee house.

This Memorial Day weekend, head to the Anasazi Patio at Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi for its inaugural Pop-Up Taqueria with chef Edgar Beas, who whips up gourmet tacos for the whole family. Tacos are $4 each.

Melanie first attracted national attention when she stepped onto the stage at Woodstock, the summer of ’69. She gave a legendary performance on a stage that transformed a generation and changed music forever. She also sang that song that was like, "I've got a brand new pair of roller skates, you've got a brand new key," but that's not the big-deal part. We only told you so you'd be aware.


Keep your long weekend going and dance to jams by Wisternoff and and handful of other Dj groups like Spoolius Melange.

West, a radio producer, rock opera composer and Santa Fe musician extraordinaire, and his local band perform "theatrical folk" music. With Joe's combination of country, rock, and entertainment, there's something for everyone.
