We had cowgirls.

We had a guy with a guitar and a guy with a wind-midi. That's an instrument that you blow into, and a computer makes it sound like whatever you want: sax, clarinet, keyboard; whatever.

And we played some music together.

There is plenty of live music to enjoy at the Tin Star Saloon. Wednesday night is when Ben Lucero hosts the Tin Star open jam. Many of Santa Fe's musicians, both pro and amateur can be found on stage at Ben's jam. This is a blog about the music and the musicians who play at the Tin Star. Each week, we will have photos of the players, perhaps an anecdote about the evening, and maybe a sound bite or two of some of the tunes.

No offense, but not quite up to par, when compared to
1) the Wednesday night jam, and
2) the quality of the other regular gigs at the Tin Star.
Possibly, but you need to consider that this is a brand new venue, and therefore the musicians and customers have not yet learned about it. Good jams don't happen overnight. Just like the rest of us, they need to grow and mature.
Ben Lucero's Wednesday night jam has the advantage of having done exactly that. These days a core of regular, talented musicians shows up regularly on Wednesday night, as do the people who come there in the middle of the week just to hear the music. In the early days, Ben's jam was a bit thin as well.
I recommend giving the Sunday night folks a chance to grow and mature.

I agree with the comment of 5:33 -- there is room for improvement. I'll stick with the Wednesday jams for a while longer.
I had a great time a few weeks ago, and whenever the town figures out there is free country dancing on Sunday evening look out
