Max Gomez & Friends
Special Holiday Show
Historic Old San Ysidro Church
966 Old Church Rd, Corrales, NM
Doors open at 7:00 Music: 7:30 - 9:00 PM
Each year singer-songwriter MAX GOMEZ books a string of special Holiday shows in his home state of New Mexico, inviting friends to share the mic & have some seasonal fun. We appreciate Max including us on this year’s Holiday run, a first in Corrales!
MAX GOMEZ was born and raised in Taos, New Mexico, where he fell under the influence of country and blues singer-songwriters at an early age. After becoming a fixture in the New Mexico music scene, Gomez left home to pursue a broader horizon. His debut album, Rule the World (New West Records), earned critical acclaim and launched a touring career that has taken him coast to coast across the U.S., into Canada, and throughout Western Europe. Last year, Gomez released Memory Mountain, which debuted at #1 on the Alt-Country Radio Chart, further solidifying his reputation for timeless, resonant songwriting. Praised by Rolling Stone and No Depression as an emerging voice in Americana, Memory Mountain affirms that distinction with depth and charm. Over the years, Gomez has shared the stage with the likes of James McMurtry, Buddy Miller, John Hiatt, Patty Griffin and Jeff Beck.
This concert, a collaboration with Occasional Music, is part of the Common Ground Gathering— sponsored in part by New Mexico Spirit. Special thanks to KUNM.

For more than 50 years, BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet has stood as one of the most important and beloved Cajun bands in the world.

Driven by Doucet’s virtuosic fiddle playing and soulful singing, BeauSoleil has recorded more than two dozen albums, earned two Grammy Awards, and received numerous additional nominations. The band has performed everywhere from small dance halls in Acadiana to Carnegie Hall, and its music has appeared in films and helped introduce Cajun culture to audiences around the globe.
The current lineup features Michael Doucet (fiddle, vocals), his brother David Doucet (guitar, vocals), Chad Huval (accordion), Bill Bennett (bass), and Michael’s son Matthew Doucet (fiddle and percussion). Together they deliver an energetic, deeply rooted, and joyful evening of Cajun music that is both traditional and inventive.

Tommy and Saundra O'Sullivan
Sage Valley Pottery

Husband-and-wife duo Tommy & Saundra O’Sullivan bring world-class traditional and contemporary Irish music to Corrales for an intimate evening at Sage Valley Pottery. Based in Dingle, Ireland, where they own and operate the renowned O’Sullivan’s Courthouse Pub (praised by National Geographic as a must-visit destination for traditional Irish music on the Wild Atlantic Way), the pair are celebrated for their seamless blend of voices, storytelling, and instrumental skill.
Tommy, a veteran of the Irish traditional scene (including his years with Sliabh Notes), is a gifted guitarist and tenor vocalist. Saundra, originally from Texas, contributes rich alto harmonies and a strong background in choir and folk singing. Together they released the well-received album Safe Home and have become favorites on both sides of the Atlantic through regular touring, festival appearances, and their popular Facebook Live sessions during the pandemic.
Their performances are warm, unplugged, and deeply rooted in the living tradition of Irish music—mixing classic ballads, lively tunes, and original material with the easy chemistry of a couple who have made music together for years.
