Jono Manson In Concert! - Singer-Songwriter/ Americana

Whiskey Creek Zócalo

06:00 PM - 09:00 PM on Fri, 7 Aug 2026

Jono Manson In Concert!
Singer-Songwriter/ Americana
Doors: 6pm • $12/adv.• $15/door

Jono Manson is a gifted Singer Songwriter who has collaborated with and played alongside Blues Traveler, KT Tunstall, Pete Seeger, T Bone Burnett, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Bo Diddley, Bruce Springsteen, Taj Mahal, Emmylou Harris, and Joan Baez (to name just a few). In 2024's Stars Enough To Guide Me, Manson started a brand-new chapter, continuing to forge his legacy one song at a time. The record featured collaborations with a slew of special guests — from GRAMMY-winner John Popper and American Idol finalist Crystal Bowersox to folk/Americana stalwart Eliza Gilkyson. Just released, his new album Family Dog continues this story, with no end in sight.
Manson's songs are diverse and genre-bending, drawing on roots, rock, soul, pop and country traditions as they paint vivid portraits of resilient characters standing tall in the face of time’s relentless march, and his performances are similarly determined, delivered with a passion and conviction that’s as honest as it is empathetic.
"From poignant poet to playful prankster, Jono Manson is a shining star in his own right." - No Depression Magazine

Max Gomez w/ Howe Gelb & Slant Can - Folk Americana / Alt Country

Whiskey Creek Zócalo

06:00 PM - 09:00 PM on Fri, 21 Aug 2026

Max Gomez w/ Howe Gelb & Slant Can
Folk Americana / Alt Country
Doors: 6pm • $15/adv • $20/door

Double Header!!
Sharing stages with James McMurtry, Buddy Miller, John Hiatt, Patty Griffin, Jeff Beck and more, Max Gomez has become a fixture in the New Mexico music scene. His debut album, Rule the World (New West Records), earned critical acclaim and launched a touring career that has taken him coast to coast across the U.S., into Canada, and throughout Western Europe.
In August of last year, Gomez released Memory Mountain, produced by Mark Howard. The album debuted at #1 on the Alt-Country Radio Char. His interim EP, Me and Joe has surpassed five million streams on Spotify alone. Praised by Rolling Stone and No Depression as an emerging voice in Americana, Memory Mountain affirms that distinction with depth and charm.
Judging by the company he keeps—and the work he continues to create—Max Gomez remains one of Americana’s most compelling and authentic voices.
In three decades plus, Howe Gelb has managed to mash elements of erosion rock, de-composition, crunchy & western, something close to blues, punk snark, lo-fi hi-fi, pseudo jazz, gospel a-choir-ing, semi-standard piano standards and a side swipe of Andalusian gypsy flamenco.
