AMP Concerts presents a concert by pedal steel guitarist Roosevelt Collier at The Cooperage on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 7:30pm. Collier is considered the master of a traditional approach to an instrument that's become familiar to American ears through every sorta sound from straight Country and Western to rocanrol and even indie bands. The artist's slide-style playing is lightning fast and gorgeously executed with a twang and twist. He's jammed with the Allman Brothers, Los Lobos and Tedeschi-Trucks; his latest recording was produced by by Michael League, one of David Crosby's current collaborators. In summary, this show is going to rock out, so be there. Tickets are only $17 in advance and $22 the day of the show. It's an intimate venue replete with meat and cocktails—which means this is a 21+ gig—and you are guaranteed to walk away with a shiny spot in your head that will only disappear with repeated exposure to songs like “Far Away Eyes.” (August March)

New Mexico is blessed with so many overwhelmingly talented people and sometimes putting together a conceptual piece of art can take a village of these artists. While Miraculum is a show compiled from multiple photographers, models and stylists, it is all manifested and executed through the vision of the walking sculpture herself, Felicia Davis. The exhibition's name comes from the small red fruit, the miracle berry, which contains miraculin and causes taste receptors to interpret flavors to be far sweeter than normal. Felicia hopes to alter the receptors of viewers, making this alternate reality of photographs that much sweeter. Each image in the collection is unaltered, captured portrait-style. Stop by Strangeflock Gallery on Friday, Feb. 1 at 4:30pm for the opening reception and a meet and greet with collective of artists that contributed to this show. It is on display through Feb. 28 for all ages, though there is implied nudity in many of the images. Take in all of the magic for free.
