Solid Grounds Music Café 

For more than 25 years, Solid Grounds Music Café has been a beloved part of Albuquerque’s music community. We’re honored to host this vibrant community music gathering here at the Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living.

At RGCSL, we believe community grows through shared experiences — and music has a beautiful way of bringing people together. Each Friday night we open our doors for live music and connection, featuring talented local and regional musicians — and occasionally other creative performances — in a relaxed, welcoming space.
