Las Cruces Events Friday Feb 28th Issue

Hello Las Cruces ,

this is Charlie… I had a busy week contacting local bands and musicians to confirm what genre music they play.

Why? Because you asked for it. Check this out, I think you love it too! Wow, thanks for the comments!

⭐️ New Music events have been added to yesterday’s Live Music issue.

What the Future Holds

I am currently working on a directory of local venues and musicians and will expand it to include local event venues too. If there is anything that you think would help you let me know.

🔔 Just a Reminder

Local Events emails go out every Tuesday and Friday mornings at 6 am. And our weekly Live Music email goes out on Thursday’s.
