Dig out your dancing shoes and find a partner before Sept. 20 when the Mesilla Valley Big Band returns to the stage for the Mesilla Valley Jazz and Blues Society’s September Monthly Gathering.

Led by Las Cruces’ Johnny Lang and comprising almost 20 members, the big band is a favorite among locals. The ensemble is an affiliate of the MVJBS and can be heard performing at various venues throughout the fall and spring seasons. 

Get ready to pack the hall at Alma D’Arte Charter High School and swing along to tunes by such great composers as Cole Porter, Thad Jones, Duke Ellington and Lester Young, as well as selections such as “How High the Moon,” by Les Paul and “Critical Mass,” by Jeff Jarvis. Audiences may also hear such vocal selections as “Something’s Gotta Give,” “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “Night and Day.”

Join the jazz and blues society Sunday, Sept. 20 at 6:30 p.m. for a social and society update, followed by a full set of live big band music. Bring a dessert or appetizer to share with some of your fellow attendees! Admission is $5 for MVJBS members, $10 for non-members and $2 for students. Purchase tickets at the door or ahead of time at www.mvjazzblues.net/monthly-gatherings. 

For 40+ years, 8th generation Louisiana Creole and two-time Grammy award-winning artist Terrance Simien has been shattering the myths and misinformation about what his traditional Zydeco roots music is, and what it is not. Come out to hear Black American Roots music borne of the African American / Black and mixed-race French speaking Creoles of south Louisiana.

The Levitt AMP Truth or Consequences Music Series continues through October 22, 2026, MainStreet Truth or Consequences, with support from the Levitt Family Foundation, is putting on a concert series featuring a variety of genres of music. Food trucks and vendors will add to the fun and family-friendly experience.

We are excited to announce that it is time for our Annual Dress the Child Dinner. Please join us for a wonderful evening in Cuba (without leaving Las Cruces) and enjoy "Havana Nights". This will be a wonderful and memorable evening at the Las Cruces Convention Center with a fabulous seven-course Cuban-inspired menu prepared by seven of Las Cruces' finest chefs. The evening will include live entertainment, a silent auction, 50-50 drawing, and will feature Master of Ceremonies host, Hillary Floren. And the best part...EVERYTHING associated with this event has been donated, so EVERY PENNY of ticket and sponsorship proceeds goes towards buying new clothing and shoes for desperately poor children living in the Mesilla Valley.

This event sells out every year so get your tickets early!

Chris Sanders and Bob Diven will perform live at a house concert on Thursday, 24 September, to support Tents to Rents, an annual event that raises funds to help people living at Camp Hope move into stable and permanent housing.

Doors open at 6:30; music starts at 7:00. Suggested donation is $30 per seat; pay at the door with cash or card. Light refreshments will be served. To reserve your seats, email tentstorentshouseconcert@gmail.com. You will receive the address and all the details by email.

Come enjoy a magical evening of live music while helping to end homelessness for someone at Camp Hope.

Marty Stuart Live in Concert

At the forefront of a vibrant Native American jazz scene, Diné trumpet artist, composer, and educator Delbert Anderson blends Navajo “spinning songs” with jazz, funk, and hip-hop. Rooted in Diné heritage and inspired by Navajo Nation landscapes and history, the quartet moves between improvisation, groove, and cultural reflection, creating music that is both innovative and deeply connected to place, storytelling, and community.

“The music of Incendio is hard to categorize,” says band member Jim Stubblefield. “One moment it sounds like modern flamenco, then a more diverse world-fusion blend. You might hear elements of roots rock, progressive rock, Latin dance music, plus diverse seasonings sprinkled in containing hints of funk, folk, jazz, pop and classical.”
