Blues, Jazz entertainment in Southwest

  1. A

    Willee’s Blues Bar

    One of Santa Fe’s last remaining dance clubs, Willee’s offers live jazz and blues Wednesday through Saturday – everyone from John Lee Hooker Jr, Leon Russell and Rockin’ Jake have performed. DJs spin a mix of tunes Monday through Wednesday nights. Willee’s serves good bar food, should you need to soak up the booze.

    Houdini's Lounge

    Houdini's, next to the baccarat area in the Monte Carlo Hotel, offers a dark and comfy respite from the clamour and glamour. Piano jazz, magic tricks and other entertainment may take place here, but even if they don't, this luxe lounge is still ideal for a soothing drink and tête-à-tête.

    Matteo’s Underground Lounge

    Outside the city limits near Hoover Dam, this hangout is made for indie- and punk-music lovers. Sometimes jazz bands play midweek, either in the lounge or outdoors on the patio, with open-mic nights on weekends. Call ahead to check schedules before making the drive all the way out here.

    This charismatic coffeehouse comes alive with a bluegrass jam on Thursday, open-mike night on Friday and local and touring bands on Saturday. There's free wi-fi and a small menu of sandwiches, but no booze.
