Rio Grande Theatre Calendar of Events September 2011

A staple of the downtown ArtRamble since February of 2006, the Howling Coyote started out as a jam session for local musicians and quickly grew into a showcase featuring some of finest talent Las Cruces has to offer. The monthly event will now make the Rio Grande Theatre its new home and will continue to feature primarily acoustic musicians, singers and songwriters, but will also welcome poets, storytellers and comedians with family-appropriate material. Showtime is 7pm, directly following the Literary Open Mic. Admission is Free. For more information visit www.RioGrandeTheatre.com or call (575) 523-6403.

Tuesday, September 20

Every Other Tuesday: C.W. Ayon

A musician with enough old-school mojo to power a roadhouse for a month, C.W. Ayon does it all, playing guitar and singing, while also playing a kick drum with his right foot and a snare drum and tambourine with his left. The result is music from the heart without sweetness or frilly lace--just hard-hitting songs about love, life and the blues. Every Other Tuesday is a showcase for local performers beginning promptly at 5:30 pm. Admission is FREE to the public. For more information visit www.RioGrandeTheatre.com or call (575) 523-6403.
