TOGETHER WITH
Hello {{First Name|Las Cruces}},
Live Love Las Cruces is all about sharing the positive local events in Las Cruces! Glad you found us 🙂
This is your guide to the best Live Music in Las Cruces!
You may not go out to live music events every week, but when you get the urge, you know where to look.
I may not find every live music event, but I dang well try 😆 — let me know if you find any that I missed and I update the website issue.
Check out what I found for you this week 👇
Things to do this weekend
This might well be the nicest weekend for weather that we have had to date, and Madelyn's in Mesilla has got 2 bands on Saturday and 2 bands on Sunday.
What a perfect weekend to walk around Mesilla Plaza, do some shopping, then head to Madelyn’s to enjoy a drink, get some lunch, and enjoy some live music on their patio.
Rio Grande Winery has a Book Swap event on Sunday from 2-5pm, followed by the band Down By Fore from 6-9 pm.
Bring a book, take a book, read your book while waiting for the band to start. Best Organ Mountain views in town!x
Blues Lovers: NM Vintage has resumed their Blue Jam & Dancing, and it starts tonight Thursday night 2/26, from 6-9 pm. They added Open Mic, where other musicians sit in, so be prepared for some awesome Blues and fun dancing.
Note: Its my understanding that you had to purchase tickets for the Bridle Up Hope's Rhinestone Cowboy event by last week, so I don’t think will be tickets at the door, but you can always check.
Make New Friends
We’ve decided to give this dinner club a go because we’re passionate about bringing the Las Cruces community together.
We know it can be challenging to make friends as an adult especially if you are new to town. Our Dinner Club is a fun, low-pressure way to connect with people who share similar values and interests.
Our next Dinner Club is scheduled for Thursday March 19th. We hope to see you there!

Looking at the weather forecast and it’s going to be absolutely BEAUTIFUL — and Madelyn's is ready for you! ☀️
We have three patios for you to relax, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy the gorgeous Mesilla weather.
As always, we feature LIVE music every weekend, and starting in March we’re turning it up even more:
🎤 Open Mic every Thursday
🎶 NEW Happy Hour Band on Fridays from 2–5 PM
🎸 Friday & Saturday night bands
🎵 Saturday & Sunday afternoon bands
There’s simply no other place in Las Cruces or Mesilla with this many live bands week after week!
Since opening in October 2024, Madelyn’s has brought you live music every single weekend — and we haven’t missed a beat.
If you haven’t been to Madelyn’s yet… now’s the time. If you’re already one of our regulars — THANK YOU so much for your continued support and loyalty. We appreciate you more than you know! 💛
