ALAMOSA — Come out and hear great music while supporting the Alamosa Live Music Association’s work in bringing quality live music to the San Luis Valley. The annual ALMA and Friends concert is on Saturday, Feb. 1, at 6 p.m. Society Hall at 400 Ross Ave. in Alamosa. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for complimentary finger foods. 

“We are pleased to announce that The Arcane Ramblers from Taos, will be performing,” organizers stated.  

Admission is free for ALMA 2025 members. General admission is $20. No advance tickets are for sale, so come early to grab a seat. 

The Arcane Ramblers present traditional music in fresh and original ways. They draw inspiration from the likes of Bill Monroe, Dock Boggs, Doc Watson, John Hartford, Tim O’Brien, John Reischmann and Norman Blake; and they search out tunes that are unusual and seldom played, putting the “Arcane” in The Arcane Ramblers. Robert Quijano masterfully holds down the bass runs on guitar, along with supplying brilliant lead. Bud Branch provides crisp licks on both banjo and mandolin, and Tom Robison holds forth on fiddle, riding that delicate balance between authenticity and innovation.  

In addition, these players sing everything from old ballads to light-hearted novelty tunes in sweet three-part harmony. You really don’t ever know what to expect from them. Their sound is spontaneous, and tight as a banjo head!
