Las Cruces Events Friday Feb 28th Issue
Pecan Growers Trade Show, Blessing of the Bikes, Marathons & Hikes
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.
