   Kristy’s music is deeply rooted in jazz and improvisation … and morphs from there. Like all the best artists before her, she is stepping ahead with her own style. Drawing from diverse influences like Nina Simone, Mingus, Steely Dan, and Queen, she shapes something entirely unique. Her shows feature her original jazz inflected music mixed with familiar jazz standards — rendered as anything but — and well-loved pop tunes put through her unique stylistic filter. It all comes together in an unforgettable, sonic feast for the ears that has audiences raving.

Saturday, September 7 Time TBA

At WHEELS Museum 1100 2nd St SW, Albuquerque, NM 

Reservations required. Call WHEELS at (505) 243-6269

           The Michael-directed film stars Ed Asner, Judge Reinhold and Ruby.  Accompanying the screening will be an exclusive exhibit of Michael’s photographs of the Hollywood glitterati spanning from the 1970s to the new millennium.  

Michael and Ruby came to New Mexico in 2004 from Los Angeles to assist in the building of our State’s film industry in its infancy. Their efforts paid off in 2006 when they singularly confronted a Round House bill that would have damaged New Mexico’s opportunity to remain at the forefront in film incentives. They succeeded in having the misguided bill quashed and instead of one film company receiving the 25% benefits, all film companies would receive this benefit. Today we see the fruits of their efforts.

 Saturday and Sunday Sept 28-29 |   9am-2pm   New Mexico Railroad Days at WHEELS Museum

Free Admissions, but donations are always gratefully accepted

Learn how and when the railroad came to New Mexico, how rail transportation helped Albuquerque grow into a vibrant city. Learn about the many countries where men came from to work on the railroad and learn what jobs women had at the rail yard. Learn about the over 250 types of jobs that men and women had at the rail yards, such as machinists, red caps, wipers and babbitmen. The museum has a vast collection of rare and historic items on exhibit. There are antique cars, buggies, tools & more; there are planes-models and real; there are model trains, cars, and carriages.
