ALAMOSA — Downtown Alamosa was rocking on the evening of Sept. 6, with many musicians performing as part of the musical collaboration between the Alamosa Live Music Association (ALMA) and Visit Alamosa.
The Roaming Rhythms festivities were a mini-music festival that transformed six downtown businesses into unique music venues. The musicians performed numerous 25-minute sets. Downtown was packed with people enjoying all the music, packing restaurants, and catching a great vibe.
Elizabeth Summer with Visit Alamosa said the scene was a "vibrant celebration of local and regional talent."
Nancy Harris, Executive Director of the music association, said, "ALMA was absolutely thrilled to have partnered with Visit Alamosa at the Sept. 6 First Friday to host Roaming Rhythms, a successful mini-music festival in downtown Alamosa.
"The ‘takeover’ of First Friday was designed for visitors to roam from venue to venue and experience the sounds of six different bands, starting at Woody's Q Shack with MG Sessions and ending at SLV Brewing Co. with Lucky Overton and the Yardangs. The organizers of Roaming Rhythms intentionally designed a musically diverse event and offered something for everyone while showcasing our local and regional talent. ALMA was pleased with the great turnout of audience members participating in the music crawl from 5 p.m.-8 p.m. (and beyond!). The feedback from folks who attended the event was overwhelmingly positive, and ALMA is grateful to the welcoming crowd and the chance to collaborate with Visit Alamosa."
