Subject: New Mexico Music Scene

I know this may be a different question than you usually get but I recently bought a banjo from you guys and you came to mind. I'm thinking about relocating to New Mexico from Austin and was wondering what the music scene is like. I do a single act, banjo and guitar, kinda folky, kinda old-time early bluegrass. Are the places to play? The whole circle (Taos/Santa Fe/Albequeqe/Ruidoso). Thinking about living in Taos or Santa Fe as I am also a photographer.
Thanks for any insight, opinions, or off the wall info you could give me.

Greetings Terry,

Sure, there are plenty of venues to play in throughout New Mexico...not too sure about Ruidoso; yes, there are many places to play here, only, I've heard the scale is pretty low...

No doubt, Santa Fe offers tremendous photo opps...And, so does Ruidoso...check out our photo essays on www.altonewmexico.us
