Sunday, July 6th, we’re excited to have Joe Bourdet and his band return to The Stakeout. Don’t miss out on Joe’s perfect blend of folk rock, country rock, and cosmic americana. The show will be outside on the patio. Bring your dancing boots!

BIO

Raised in Nevada City, CA, Joe Bourdet is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer whose music inhabits the mythic terrain of California’s golden-hour past—sun-drenched canyons, high desert plains, and the quiet solace of pine-covered mountains. Based in Los Angeles, Bourdet draws from the rich lineage of Laurel Canyon folk-rock and cosmic Americana, weaving intricate arrangements, poetic lyricism, and vintage analog textures into a sound that feels both timeless and immediate.

His 2021 debut album Meadow Rock marked the arrival of a distinctive voice—one steeped in reverence for the songwriting craft and sonic sensibilities of artists like Neil Young, Gene Clark, and Jackson Browne, but with a contemporary lens. The record, tracked to tape using all analog gear, received acclaim for its warmth, depth, and evocative songwriting. From the swirling pedal steel of “El Capitan” to the sunlit introspection of “Songbird Revisited,” Bourdet channels landscapes both emotional and geographic, inviting listeners into a deeply immersive world.A meticulous arranger and self-taught studio craftsman, Bourdet’s recordings reflect a rare level of care and patience, often layering acoustic guitar, Mellotron, Wurlitzer, and vocal harmonies into lush yet intimate compositions. His songs explore themes of solitude, memory, the sacredness of nature, and the search for truth in a disoriented world.

In live performance, Bourdet is equally at home in solo acoustic settings or backed by a full band of seasoned musicians, delivering shows that are heartfelt, transportive, and rich in atmosphere. He has shared the stage with fellow torchbearers of the new California sound such as Mapache, Sam Burton, and Pacific Range.With new recordings underway and a growing presence in both the U.S. and European folk rock scenes, Joe Bourdet stands as a vital voice in the revival of authentic, roots-oriented music. His songs don’t just recall the past—they offer a refuge from the present and a glimpse into a more grounded, luminous way of being.

Join us at The Stakeout for an intimate night in the sage at sunset, with Chicago-based musicians Squirrel Flower + Free Range!

Both will perform haunting stripped-down sets from our Sage Deck. Tickets are $20 online and $25 at the door (if not sold out). A ticket grants you entry into the concert space—our sage, piñon, & juniper dreamscape—and includes one drink ticket for a drink of your choice (NA options too!) The restaurant and bar will be open for dining and drinks from 4-10p, but this performance will take place across the road, far removed from the bustle of the restaurant and bar. We will have blankets for enjoying the music under the stars, but feel free to bring your own or a chair for sitting.  It’s not our average Sunday and we can’t wait!

After getting involved in the DIY scene in Boston as a teenager, Ella O’Connor Williams moved to Iowa. There, she wrote her first EP as Squirrel Flower and began setting up small tours for herself. This first EP, titled Early Winter Songs From Middle America, was self-released in 2015.

In 2016, Williams released her second EP titled Contact Sports on a St. Louis-based DIY tape label called It Takes Time.

Williams' debut album, I Was Born Swimming, was released in 2020 via Polyvinyl Records. The album was produced by Gabe Wax. This anticipated label debut earned overwhelming praise from the likes of Gorilla vs. Bear, NPR Music, and Paste, and she was named Rolling Stone Artist You Need To Know, Stereogum's Artist to Watch, The FADER's Gen F, and The Guardian's One to Watch. In May 2020, Squirrel Flower released the single "Take It Or Leave It", backed with her cover of Caroline Polachek's "So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings."

In March 2024, Williams was the first artist to withdraw from the South by Southwest festival due to sponsorships by "defense department contractors [that] make the weapons that the IDF uses to bomb Gaza." Eighty artists followed her lead, causing the festival to terminate their contracts with US Army and RTX Corporation for the 2025 festival. Also in March 2024, she was featured on NPR Tiny Desk for the first time.

On Sunday, May 4, The Stakeout welcomes Denver indie-folk group, Heavy Diamond Ring!

OPEN 4 -10p

MUSIC 7-9p

$10 suggested donation day of show

HEAVY DIAMOND RING

Some things are just meant to last. When Sarah Anderson and Paul DeHaven met and began playing together in 2004, they had no idea just how deep the well of their musical partnership would prove to be. After the disbanding of indie-folk sweethearts Paper Bird, the duo founded Heavy Diamond Ring and never looked back. HDR is the culmination (thus far) of their signature sound, a fountain of open-hearted, folk-rock, steeped in vocal harmony and group synergy. Led by Anderson's smooth-as-honey vocals and DeHaven's rugged guitar chops, the band has been described as "open-road, long drive music", having "a little bit of twang, and a whole lot of beef”, and their live show as "infectious and contagious". The band is rounded out by veteran knockouts Blake Stepan (bass), Mike Lang (keys), and Orion Tate Ignelzi (drums). Their second full-length LP, "All Out of Angels", out this fall, was produced by Ben Wysocki (the Fray) and Mark Anderson and features a duet with Nathaniel Rateliff. Out now on Cowboy Cowabunga Recordings. 

"Heavy Diamond Ring creates a sound that feels as classic as rolling down the windows in the summer - a super highway to a new frontier." -303 Magazine


"...a helping of contemporary indie-folk that goes down easy, augmented by some subtle, snaky guitar work, walls of harmony vocals and Anderson's attention-grabbing vocals." -CS Indy 

It must be spring! Excited to announce we’re adding a crawfish boil to our regular Sunday service this week. In addition our patio boil, we’ll have a very Louisiana-centric menu of boudin balls, Louisiana fried chicken w pepper jelly and even bahn mis! OPEN 4-10p.

Join us on April 12 for Sunset Supper Club—an immersive, shared dining experience as the sun goes down on Outlaw Hill.

For this Supper Club, Chef Angelle-Leigh Breaux will take you on a culinary adventure with a wildly creative five-course ode to spring. Each course (yes, even dessert!) will feature an inspired use of seasonal vegetables, crafted to be incredibly fresh, delicate, and satisfying—yet not strictly vegetarian—along with thoughtfully selected wine pairings to enhance each dish.

Set against the backdrop of a Taos sunset, our Supper Clubs are designed to push culinary boundaries, offering you a chance to explore the creative and fun side of food.  With only a small amount of seats available, this is your opportunity to enjoy a unique dinner that promises to be both visually stunning and delicious.

On Sunday, March 21, The Stakeout welcomes Anna Ash and Malena Cadiz on tour from Los Angeles!

Open 4 -10p

Music 7-9p

$10 suggested donation day of show (no online tickets)

ANNA ASH (LA)

Anna Ash writes songs of profound, startling, sensuous insight. Her new album, Sleeper, is infused with an emotional intelligence that conjures nostalgia with the memory of a middle school boyfriend’s cologne, and evokes a tenderness specific to L.A. in an evening full of car alarms, fireworks, and the rare California lilac. But she knows, too, that such knowledge will not spare her from heartache, from the weight of the past, from the wildfire drawing ever closer. Rueful, wise, sardonic, Sleeper plays like a Sally Rooney book if the novelist could palm-mute a Silvertone and launch her voice into cathartic falsettos.

Ash’s songs regularly feature on soundtracks (Billions, Masters of Sex) and curated playlists (Fresh Folk, Noir) and her fans will recognize that trademark textured guitar and soaring voice. On Sleeper, though, the tight pocket of previous albums gives way to more spacious arrangements and atmospherics — buoyant keys, group harmonies, pedal steel and horns. This is her fourth album, and first on Oklahoma indie label Black Mesa Records.

MELENA CADIZ (LA)

Malena Cadiz is a lady of the canyon waylaid at a suburban strip mall, acutely aware of how romance shines through even in the moments of grit and desolation.  There’s something Didion-esque about Cadiz’s storytelling as she crafts deeply personal vignettes that reveal greater narratives about the world we live in. The 10 songs on her 3rd full length album,  Hellbent & Moonbound are full of wit and vulnerability, capturing the strange beauty and humor of day to day life.

Growing up a second-generation Filipino-American, Cadiz bounced between living in the suburbs of Michigan with her mother and bustling Singapore with her father. “I always felt rootless, not quite belonging to either place.” This longing for home and search for center rests at the heart of Cadiz’s work.

The Fader has likened her work to Karen Dalton and NPR compared her to "an earthbound Joanna Newsom, Cadiz has a voice that grabs you within seconds." Her songs have been featured on “Nancy Drew" (CW), "Lucifer" (Netflix), "REBEL" (ABC), among others. She currently lives in Los Angeles.

MAYBE SO (ABQ)

Hayley Harper’s new band, Maybe So, elevates her ethereal sound to new heights. Formally of Taos and now based in Albuquerque, Harper's haunting voice remains the focal point, now complemented by a heavier, electrifying edge. Together, they create emotive landscapes that resonate with raw authenticity, offering listeners a cathartic journey through the depths of human emotion.

RUBY & THE SLIPPERS (SANTA FE)

Ruby Oland is your favorite y’allternative crooner from Santa Fe. An intriguing voice, akin to Patsy Cline or Angel Olsen, snares tidbits of fleeting existence- a trapped moth, sparks from a fire, roadside sunflowers. Oland has been recording and releasing music independently for nearly ten years, with two EP’s and two LP’s under her belt. Born in Utah, she has been bouncing between Portland and Northern New Mexico. Crafting odes to the rivers, deserts, and mountains of The West; to all of the enchantments that occur within its liminal spaces.

Local legend/artist/musician, Kevin Cannon and friends will perform their adept, lively jazz at The Stakeout from 6-9p.

The Stakeout bar & kitchen is open from 4-10p every Sunday.

This Sunday, join us at The Stakeout as Chef Angelle-Leigh Breaux returns to her Louisiana roots to bring the vibrant flavors of Mardi Gras to our dinner menu.

BIO

Courtney Marie Andrews is an American singer-songwriter originally from Phoenix, Arizona. She released her first widely distributed and breakthrough studio album, Honest Life, in 2016. From 2010 to 2011, Andrews was an auxiliary member of Jimmy Eat World, appearing on their 2010 studio album Invented and acting as their keyboardist and backing vocalist on the subsequent tour.

Andrews' eighth studio album was released in October 2022 under Fat Possum Records. Written from a beach shack on Cape Cod, a summer of introspection led to the inception of Loose Future.

In partnership with Sam Evian, a producer who has previously worked with Big Thief and Cassandra Jenkins, Andrews was able to expand her aural palate and transition into a new sonic world. Pitchfork asserts that "the smooth, radiant production doesn't amount to commercial pandering: it's assured, exploratory, and warm music that mirrors Andrews' newly opened heart." On Loose Future, "Andrews channels her Pop influences to make her brightest, freest songs to date." The ten-track album "is about freedom, renewal, self-love and saving commitment for tomorrow". These themes stem from the timing of the writing, as the songs were penned during the global COVID-19 pandemic and on the heels of the end of a longtime relationship. According to a review from Brooklyn Vegan, the record "feels like everything she's always been working towards... some of her strongest songwriting and most gorgeous sounding music yet."

This celebratory evening at THE STAKEOUT is a way to get familiar with the director's work... who happens to belong to the Year of the Snake. ​Local documentary filmmaker Erica Nguyen will screen Shadow Weavers, and a sneak peak of another story in the making. Winner of the Best New Mexican Feature Documentary by SFiFF, Shadow Weavers returns to Taos where the editing magic began.

Come celebrate our last show of the year with us! Noelle & The Deserters (CA/Taos), Joe Bourdet (Taos), and Mary Simich (CA) will all play Sunday, Dec 29, from 6 to 9p!

NOELLE & THE DESERTERS

Noelle & The Deserters bring South-Western honky tonk from the high deserts of New Mexico to the golden hills of California. Fronted by singer-songwriter Noelle Fiore, their music draws inspiration from the likes of Emmylou Harris, Loretta Lynn, Marty Robbins, J.J Cale, Gene Clark, Townes Van Zandt, and the great outlaw country players.

JOE BOURDET

Highway 49 is called the golden chain highway and connects numerous tiny hamlets as it weaves through the river canyons of the California gold country. This is the area where Joe Bourdet spent his youth, and it provided the formative images which inspire his music, and music for Joe has always been a family affair.  It began with growing up around the humor and warmth of great San Francisco jazz trumpeter Jack Minger, and with being taught playground and jump rope songs by Jack’s granddaughter, Fannie.  He was intrigued too as a youngster to see his mother Marilyn play and sing Red River Valley, once and only once as he recalls.  As a teenager, he was permanently loaned a guitar, and encouraged to play by his uncle, Mike Bonnington.  The instrument gave Joe an escape from a typically awkward High School experience and ultimately became a lifelong pursuit.  From his father, Al, he learned a love of all things mechanical and the value of working with one's hands. This do-it-yourself mentality served Joe well, leading him to be equally involved in the technical aspects of music making as well as the artistic. He restores, customizes, and tunes to taste his guitars, instruments, amplifiers, and recording equipment, viewing them all as an extension of the personality he strives to put into the music.  Learning recording technique first from dear friend, collaborator, and fellow guitar maniac Jason Soda, then professionally through a stint as a film sound recordist, Joe learned to produce and record music of his own, and now increasingly so, that of others.  In 2021, Joe released his debut album, titled Meadow Rock.  He lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, where his recording studio is called Mountain Sounds Recorders.  Joe performs with his group The El Capitan Band, a loose group of friends who were involved in the making of the Meadow Rock album, who come together to bring those songs, and more, to the stage. 

MARY SIMICH

Mary Simich grew up in California in a very musical family. Her big brothers played in Thee Cormans, who dressed up in monster costumes and played garage rock in the true Budget Rock style. For years, Mary was very content with writing songs in secret, until one day she visited some friends in Berlin and ran into King Khan at a grimy Berlin bar called Wowsville. King Khan noticed that she was traveling with her guitar, and asked her to play a song. "The room got real quiet, and Mary started singing these haunting ballads, and I knew I had to record them!" says King Khan. He invited her to his home studio and the rest was history. They recorded all 12 tracks in just a few days.

The Stakeout is excited to announce this mammoth of a show on Tuesday, Dec 17! Casper Allen, Matt Heckler, and Shawn Hess will all play individual sets from 6 to 9. The bar will be open and we will be serving TACOS for this rare Tuesday night at The Stakeout.

Swarming Branch

BIO

Swarming Branch is a band engaged in three seemingly disparate pursuits: elaborating folk music’s four-chord strum with complex extensions and substitutions, winking at the theater of glam rock from dive bar stages around the country without causing the cynics to spray beer out of their nostrils, and inviting the droning, unbridled tendencies of modal jazz to gradually displace rock and roll’s typical pentatonic shapes. You could say they aspire to become the modern Midwestern Steely Dan, even if they’ve only demonstrated a portion of the elder group’s range thus fa
