Madrid’s Mineshaft Hosts Bluesy Country Tonight

Music Friday

By Jim Phillips, 4-27-07

The Minie Gonzalez (Minie from Holiday Sail) Band is a front porch throwback to the bluesy, whiskey-weary swing of The 40’s. Minie’s voice is velvety and lovely, accompanied by an almost antique drum, guitar and bass lineup. Aside from some really well done and just plain charming music, one of the best things about these guys is their tendency to play often at one of the best bars in the state, The Mineshaft Tavern in Madrid. Great room, swell food, stiff drinks, superior service. If you’re up for a short road trip from Albuquerque or Santa Fe, you cannot go wrong with The Mineshaft. Never been? Jesus Christ. You’re missing a genuine New Mexico experience.

Your next chance to catch The Minie Gonzalez Band at the legendary Mineshaft Tavern will be today. Click here to listen to Lonely Left Hand Blues
