SUMMARY:Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad: Galloping Goose NO. 5
DESCRIPTION:Experience one of narrow-gauge railroading’s most distinctive historic vehicles on one of America’s most spectacular railroad journeys. For just six days this fall\, Galloping Goose No. 5 returns to the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad for a series of limited excursions through the mountains of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. \nOriginally built for the Rio Grande Southern Railroad in 1933\, Galloping Goose No. 5 is unlike anything on our regular passenger trains. This historic self-propelled railcar offers a smaller\, more intimate way to experience the railroad\, bringing you closer to the track\, the landscape and the remarkable engineering of the narrow-gauge line. \nChoose a full 64-mile journey between Chama and Antonito or a round-trip excursion from Chama to Osier Station. Along the way\, travel through high mountain passes\, deep canyons\, tunnels\, trestles\, forests and wide-open Western landscapes as the Goose follows the historic railroad across the Colorado–New Mexico border. \nFor railroad enthusiasts\, photographers\, history lovers and returning Cumbres & Toltec riders looking for an entirely different experience\, this is one of the most unusual ways to explore the railroad. With only six departures scheduled\, opportunities to ride Galloping Goose No. 5 on the Cumbres & Toltec are limited. \nDates: October 2\, 3\, 4\, 9\, 10\, 11\, and when the fall colors are at peak! \n27 seats available and includes lunch buffet and photo run-bys. \nInformation & Tickets

SUMMARY:Liz Longley
DESCRIPTION:Liz Longley is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter celebrated for her stop-you-in-your-tracks voice and deeply emotional music. Known for her distinctive blend of folk\, pop\, and Americana\, Liz has earned accolades from prestigious songwriting competitions\, including the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition. \nHer self-titled debut album was praised as “stunning” (HuffPost) and marked by “cleverness and wit” (Dallas Morning News). The follow-up\, Weightless (2016)\, was lauded as “a thing of beauty” by Pop Dose. Liz’s sixth album\, Funeral For My Past\, became a notable success after her fans raised over $150\,000 on Kickstarter to fund its independent release\, making her the #4 most funded solo female musician in Kickstarter history. The album received widespread acclaim\, with Forbes calling it “stunning” and Billboard highlighting its diverse range from Americana to shimmering pop anthems. \nBecoming a mother in 2022 profoundly impacted Liz’s songwriting\, infusing her music with greater depth and perspective. Her most recent album\, New Life (2025)\, reflects this new chapter in her life\, showcasing both her personal growth and her continued evolution as an artist. \nTickets

SUMMARY:Ask Carol
DESCRIPTION:Ask Carol is an alternative indie-rock duo that has emerged from the remote Norwegian mountain community of Auma\, ready to shake up the music scene. Don’t let the small size of this band fool you – with two guitars\, drums\, synth\, Carol’s unique bass and guitar system\, and a bit of multitasking\, Ask Carol packs a punch with a sound as big as a full band. The music of this high-energy power-duo ranges from fierce and mean to soft and comforting\, drawing inspiration from the likes of the Kills\, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs\, and the White Stripes\, all with a distinct Nordic\, melancholic twist. \nAsk Carol has already made a name for themselves on the international stage\, touring in the USA\, UK\, Germany\, Italy\, Philippines\, Japan\, South Korea\, and Scandinavia\, and performing at SXSW several times (2024\, 2023\, 2018). They’ve also had the privilege of supporting The Brian Jonestown Massacre on tour. In August 2022\, they released their highly-anticipated debut album through their own indie label\, ChoVan Records\, to widespread acclaim from the press\, including a 5/6 rating in Dagbladet\, one of Norway’s largest newspapers. Their sophomore album\, AC II: Desert Sky\, followed\, with an exclusive Vinyl release in February 2026\, as well as a nomination for the renowned Spellemann Award (The Norwegian Grammy). \nBig Violet is what happens when four musicians from Taos\, NM decide to “just jam for fun” and then accidentally form a band people actually want to see. Originally a side project in 2022\, it quickly snowballed into a full-blown Rock machine. \nOn stage\, Big Violet is equal parts grit and glitter: powerhouse vocals\, guitar riffs hot enough to fry an egg and a rhythm section that won’t let you sit still. The songs? Tales of bad decisions you don’t regret\, jobs you had to quit\, desert motorcycle rides\, heartbreak\, rebirth\, and everything in between. \nLady’s Mantle is a fun gaggle of gals from Taos\, NM. Their music ranges from moody fairie grunge to upbeat playful chaos. \nFor more information and tickets. \nLodging discounts from our hotel partners:\nHotel Don FernandoSagebrush Inn & SuitesHampton Inn Taos

SUMMARY:Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad: Galloping Goose NO. 5
DESCRIPTION:Experience one of narrow-gauge railroading’s most distinctive historic vehicles on one of America’s most spectacular railroad journeys. For just six days this fall\, Galloping Goose No. 5 returns to the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad for a series of limited excursions through the mountains of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. \nOriginally built for the Rio Grande Southern Railroad in 1933\, Galloping Goose No. 5 is unlike anything on our regular passenger trains. This historic self-propelled railcar offers a smaller\, more intimate way to experience the railroad\, bringing you closer to the track\, the landscape and the remarkable engineering of the narrow-gauge line. \nChoose a full 64-mile journey between Chama and Antonito or a round-trip excursion from Chama to Osier Station. Along the way\, travel through high mountain passes\, deep canyons\, tunnels\, trestles\, forests and wide-open Western landscapes as the Goose follows the historic railroad across the Colorado–New Mexico border. \nFor railroad enthusiasts\, photographers\, history lovers and returning Cumbres & Toltec riders looking for an entirely different experience\, this is one of the most unusual ways to explore the railroad. With only six departures scheduled\, opportunities to ride Galloping Goose No. 5 on the Cumbres & Toltec are limited. \nDates: October 2\, 3\, 4\, 9\, 10\, 11\, and when the fall colors are at peak! \n27 seats available and includes lunch buffet and photo run-bys. \nInformation & Tickets

SUMMARY:Shannon McNally
DESCRIPTION:Thom Jurek at All Music said it best\, “Only Gram Parsons’ term “Cosmic American Music” begins to touch her mercurial\, changeling roots aesthetic\, … (Shannon) McNally is a Zen-like\, post-Beat song poet”. For those who have followed McNally’s nearly twenty year career the thing that most sticks with the listener about her\, is the timeless effortlessness that she brings to all she does. With a long catalog and longer list of peers with whom she has written\, recorded and toured\, McNally continues to turn out great music that defies blatant genre-fication. \nAt home across the American (Americana) music spectrum\, the Grammy nominee who’s live music career began on the jam band circuit of the 1990’s with bands like Robert Randolph and Derek Trucks\, writes as well as she interprets the songs of others\, has a top tier musicality to her craft\, a soul stirring voice that immediately grabs one by the heart strings and a troubadour’s wanderlust\, not to mention as it turns out\, she is also an excellent electric guitar player. \nLike her anti-hero heros J.J. Cale\, Tom Waits\, Bob Dylan. Dr. John\, and Jim Dickinson\, McNally knows who she serves. She serves the song. Her quiet but steady plodding through the many layers of the business of music\, hasn’t ever been rewarded with massive fame and fortune but in time that slow burn has become the treasure in and of itself. \nThe part of Shannon McNally’s narrative that is often missed is that not only has she self-managed herself for nearly all of her career but that she has also been a stout warrior-like-artist who often went toe-to-toe with label heads and A&R to defend and fight for her visions. She left the major label world after ten years at Capital/EMI to fend for herself on various smaller labels and self-release paradigms. Perhaps the business of music is finally catching up with her independent spirit. We shall see. \nFor more information and tickets.

SUMMARY:Microwave
DESCRIPTION:Let’s Start Degeneracy is the long-awaited new album from Microwave\, and it’s an enormous\, gentle\, enveloping introduction to what will be explored: life and death\, happiness and freedom\, the real and unreal. The fourth full-length record from Atlanta’s Microwave is a trip that begins with the misty synth strikes and cosmic transmission warbles of “Portals\,” before hazy\, dripping-wet guitar chords settle in. The song\, an adaptation of the traditional Christian hymn “Softly and Tenderly\,” is true to its new name\, as liminal and fleeting as it is gripping and emotional. \nIt’s an emo record\, but perhaps only categorically speaking. It contains multitudes: ambient\, pop\, R&B\, punk\, and experimental sounds float in and out of one another as the record moves through scenes\, experiences\, and feelings\, all of them rippling with a purity of intention and translation that mark the best artistic works of “psychedelia.” Vocalist/guitarist/producer Nathan Hardy\, bassist Tyler Hill\, and drummer Timothy Pittard have created something that resembles a concept record\, but it’s the sort of concept that’s impossible to contain in just one phrase or word or sound. \nThe record’s title\, taken from a conservative politician’s take on drugs in 1970\, captures this liberated spirit. There are no rules\, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. “It’s about letting go of attachments and behaviors that aren’t serving you\, and trying to shake off your programming and not be motivated by fear and guilt and shame\,” says Hardy. \nMicrowave wrote the songs for Let’s Start Degeneracy over a four-year period beginning in 2019\, going through waves of static then bursts of energy. They recorded the bulk of it in Hardy’s Atlanta apartment\, where they spent plenty of time rummaging through samples\, effects\, and plugins to augment\, distort\, and tweak the soundscapes on the record. Drums and additional layers were laid down in Nashville with Jeremy Ferguson\, and in East Point\, Georgia with Travis Hill. Josh Wilbur (Korn\, Bad Religion) mixed\, and Brad Blackwood (Maroon 5\, Lamb of God) mastered. \n“Circling the Drain” was the first taste of this new era\, released in April 2022. It’s more classic Microwave: clean guitar chords emerge from a cloud of exhaled breath\, and the song slowly builds to cavernous depths and tidal heaviness with gorgeous\, gritty production flourishes. Two others\, the swimming\, synth-driven “Ferrari” and the bright\, stoned summer strummer “Straw Hat\,” have since been released\, expanding the borders of the band’s playing field. \nThe title track is where things really start to get weird. Over a psychotropic beat that Hardy stitched together\, a synth sub bass throbs throughout and the vocals wander through an existential plane. By the time the streaking\, brain-bloom guitar bends hit after the first chorus\, we’re already well and happily lost in some other dimension\, each texture and sound a delicious new sensation. The piano-led “Huperzine Dreams” unravels over philosophical commentary with a nod to Huperzine-A\, the naturally-derived supplement that some people use to facilitate lucid dreaming. “That’s one of the wide variety of nü-tropic supplements that Tito and I have been experimenting with over the last several years\,” says Hardy. \nSince forming in 2012\, Free Throw’s story has been simple: keep going. New records\, longer tours\, bigger rooms – it’s always been another step upward for the Nashville-based quintet\, whose 2014 debut\, Those Days Are Gone\, has become an era-defining classic in the emo-punk genre\, launching them onto global tours with Hot Mulligan and New Found Glory and slots at Slam Dunk\, Riot Fest\, and The Fest. Every milestone has pushed them ahead\, but on their sixth LP\, Moments Before The Wind (Wax Bodega)\, that constant charge gradually slows\, suspended mid-step\, mid-thought\, mid-life. \nRecorded with longtime producer Brett Romnes on either end of the sold-out Those Days Are Gone 10-year tour\, the follow-up to 2023’s Lessons That We Swear To Keep chronicles a surrealist descent into liminality: a period of intense personal upheaval colored by loss\, renewal\, reflection\, and\, ultimately\, life-altering joy through the impending birth of a child. The 11-song set is disarmingly real\, colored by sonic spontaneity—a swirl of Midwest emo\, sweat-soaked punk fervor\, and crashing alternative rock—but also the sort of achingly vulnerable lyricism fans and critics have come to expect from the band. Through it all\, Moments finds Free Throw still moving\, still growing\, but now\, perhaps more than ever\, acutely aware that the path ahead is neither straight nor obvious. There’s a quiet confidence guiding them there into a brand-new era\, ready for whatever the wind blows their way. \nRising from the fiercely DIY Philadelphia underground\, Carly Cosgrove graft achingly vulnerable lyrics atop a bed of mathy rhythms\, intricate guitar work and a penchant for indie-rock cool meets emo authenticity. Their debut album\, 2022’s See You In Chemistry\, was the sound of figuring life out in real time\, tracing personal growth through anxiety\, depression\, and self-actualization – heavy subjects for a band originally formed as a low-stress side-project stopgap in 2018. \n“Every record feels like me answering the question\, ‘How are you doing?’” says singer/guitarist Lucas Naylor. “I don’t know much\, but I know myself better than basically anything else.” \nThat quest for the answers to life’s big questions is once again front and center on the band’s second album\, THE CLEANEST OF HOUSES ARE EMPTY\, as Naylor\, bassist Helen Barsz and drummer Tyler Kramer find themselves face to face with the chronic emotional struggles of life in the modern age. \nFrom the stop-start polyrhythms of first single “You Old Dog” and garage-rock sheen of “Random Dancing” and “What Are You\, A Cop\,” which sounds like Motion City Soundtrack filtering “Everlong” through their idiosyncratic rock tilt\, The Cleanest Of Houses is the type of record Carly Cosgrove simply couldn’t have made last time – not musically\, and certainly not emotionally. They needed to live\, through hard touring and harder life experiences. ~ Evan Lucy. \nFlycatcher have been working toward this moment and this sound for a long time. Formed in 2017 in New Jersey\, the band has spent years touring nationally with Say Anything\, Oso Oso\, Slow Joy\, Foxing\, and Casey\, and after releasing Stunt (Memory Music) in 2023\, They’re set to release their debut LP\, Wrench\, on October 24. Wrench\, a 10-track collection written and recorded between the band’s own sessions and Will Yip’s Studio 4\, threads anthemic emo-twang with alt-punk energy and rootsy country-tinged croon\, drawing on late ’90s/early 2000s influences while anchoring them in New Jersey’s distinct regional sound. Led by Greg Pease\, with Justin VanNiekerk\, Jack Delle Cava\, and Matteo DeBenedetti\, the record explores the late-20s/early-30s rollercoaster of unfulfilled aspirations\, memory’s fragility\, and the stubborn pull to keep moving forward. Wrench is out October 24 on Memory Music. \nFor more information and tickets. \nLodging discounts from our hotel partners:\nHotel Don FernandoSagebrush Inn & SuitesHampton Inn Taos

SUMMARY:Althea's Secret + At The Water Tower
DESCRIPTION:At The Water Tower. Call it roots. Call it Americana. Call it bluegrass-adjacent. We call it an opportunity to connect with people on a higher level\, sharing songs\, sharing pain and sharing joy. Every show is a chance to be a part of something bigger if even for just a moment. At The Water Tower is a hard driving string band of sorts that engages the crowd\, invites them in and creates opportunities for involvement\, connection\, community and good times. \nAlthea’s Secret is a Taos-based band blending indie folk\, roots\, and desert psychedelia to create intimate\, sun-soaked soundscapes. The group weaves Southwestern mystique with lyrical storytelling\, drawing inspiration from the high desert landscape\, night skies\, and everyday wonder. They’ve earned a devoted local following with cathartic live performances\, shimmering guitar harmonies\, and rich vocal harmonies. Their music speaks to small-town dreams\, timeless moments\, and the magic tucked between the mountains and the desert. \nFor more information and tickets.

SUMMARY:Kelly Hunt & Dirk Powell
DESCRIPTION:Memphis native\, Kelly Hunt\, sings with what Rolling Stone Country describes as “the lilting cadence of a folksinger born somewhere far away\, sometime long ago.” Indeed there is a patina to her sound\, especially when she opts for her Depression-era tenor banjo–a calf-skinned instrument whose origins supposedly date back to a man named Ira Tamm and his dog-and-pony show in the 20s and 30s. That mysterious banjo\, with its warm\, soulful sound\, plays the starring role in her 2019 debut album\, Even the Sparrow\, which was a finalist for the International Folk Music Awards “Album of the Year.” But while rooted deeply in traditional forms\, Hunt is far from a traditionalist\, crossing at times into markedly modern territory. \nHer songs hover beyond the constraints of genre\, navigating the tension between past and present\, old world and new. As Popmatters puts it\, “uncanny is Hunt’s innate ability to summon the same vigorous energy of classic folk players\, all while pushing forward to modernize the instrument’s role in contemporary songwriting.” Self-taught on banjo and guitar\, her style is highly original\, a study in nuance–drones\, inflections\, pulsing rhythms\, finger-picking patterns mixed with percussive strumming and drumming. And she approaches her voice with the same subtlety\, singing with a dynamic intricacy that evokes both her Irish ancestry and her upbringing in the soul-infused realm of the Mississippi river delta. “Hunt lets the instrument shape her syllables\,” Rolling Stone’s Greil Marcus writes. “From the first instant you know you’re in a place where there is no sense of time\, where anything can happen and no one will ever have to admit to a thing.” And perhaps it is this timeless spark of imagination which serves as the golden thread uniting Hunt’s diverse body of work. \nFollowing her critically acclaimed debut\, Hunt joined forces with renowned musician and producer\, Dirk Powell\, on her sophomore album\, Ozark Symphony\, in which “she transports listeners from the craggy solitude and shadowy hollers of the Ozarks to the swinging streets of Memphis” [Folk Alley]. Recorded at Powell’s Cypress House studio on the banks of Bayou Teche and released on Compass Records\, this work features a world-class cast of musicians spanning from the US to the UK\, adding a savory dash of Cajun and Celtic flavors to Hunt’s trademark blend of Americana. “Once in a while\, a musical project comes along that truly captures the spirit of America […] Hunt’s Ozark Symphony does exactly this\,” Grateful Web writes. “If you’ve ever been enchanted by the lyrical power of Lucinda Williams or felt the emotional tug of Nanci Griffith\, then you’re about to meet your next obsession.” \n\nShow: Friday\, October 30\, 2026 at 7:00 PM\nDoors: 6:30 PM\nTickets: $16 / $20 door\nAges: All Ages\n\nFor more info and tickets.
