🎸 Easter Weekend - Big Music Fest Coming Soon

Hello {{First Name|Las Cruces}}

Can you believe how many venues and musicians don’t even know about our weekly Live Music newsletter? Me either 🙂 LOL.

We could use your help. Next time you are enjoying a live music event please tell them where you found out about their show. Much appreciated!

Grab your boots, dust them off, polish them up and saddle your horse cause this is going to be epic Las Cruces!

Get your tickets for Friday April 10th, Saturday April 11th or a 2 day Weekend Pass.
