Is anyone else into Jim Almand? He is a local guitar player who I've seen several times in Santa Fe @ the Ore House. Additionally I've caught him at the Mineshaft Tavern in Madrid. What is his story? He has such a great voice and is very friendly in person.
He's been around the Santa Fe area for quite sometime. Also plays at 2nd Street Brewrey and many other places around the area. Watch for him in local paper in the nightlife secion of local happenings. Played at The Cowgirl for years. I have everthign he's "released and catch him when I can. He also plays Europe from time to time and has quite a following over there. I really like his stuff!!!
This may be an entry point to ask a question... Is there a music scene in New Mexico? Our plans are to settle in the Alamo Area having purchased the land several years ago. I hope not to just fade away and greatly enjoy my work as a freelance musician. While we love the area we have bought in I afraid it is going to take a great deal to continue with my music there as I'm not aware of any clubs anywhere near close to Alamo. I fact I've given thought to opening one thinking there could be a market. My guess is Alb. and SF have at least some scene. LC would be much closer and possibly with the University there are a few places. Any hints as to places to look?
Joey Saint: I'm in exactly the same boat you are in. I'm considering Socorro, partly because it's within a halfway reasonable distance from Albuquerque, where presumably there would be more gigs than anywhere else. I too would like to know whether or not there is any musical scene in Alamogordo.
Mr Almand should get with the program and post a youtube vid of his playing.
] The only thing that shows up is a band he plays in The Alan West Band. They're pretty darn good though...a guy from the UK can really sing country tunes.
I saw him at one of the restaurants on the plaza a couple years back. He's great. I even ordered one of his CDs on-line. I'm also a huge Tom Russell fan. He plays in Santa Fe every so often and was recently in Silver City. Here's Jim's website:
