Hi, I'm Charlie.

I publish Live Love Las Cruces, and every Thursday I put out the Live Music issue.

When I started listing every show in town, readers were floored. Nobody knew there were 50-plus live shows happening in Las Cruces in a single week. The music was always here. It just needed a spotlight.

Las Cruces Live is that spotlight. It's the who's who: 178 local acts and 43 places to hear them, so you can find a new favorite band, see what they sound like and look them up.

The when and where still lives in the Thursday issue, free in your inbox at 1 pm.
