ick off the new year with a high-energy night of live music at Downshift Brewing Company – Riverside on Friday, January 2, 2026, from 5:00–10:00 PM.

The evening starts at 5:00 PM with Dave Millsap, a Texas-based guitarist whose career includes sharing the stage with legends like Delbert McClinton, Bonnie Raitt, Chuck Berry, Vince Gill, Boz Scaggs, and more. Millsap spent many years as Delbert McClinton’s guitarist, earning a Grammy nomination for his work on Live from Austin. His sound blends roots, blues, and rock with the polish of a seasoned touring musician.

At 7:30 PM, the energy ramps up with Party Falcon, an original, high-octane ’80s-inspired band known for big hooks, bold style, and crowd-moving performances.

Cold craft beer, great vibes, and two standout acts make this a perfect Friday night in Ruidoso.
