Things are pretty good here in Albuquerque - considering that we are hardly the size of New York or Seattle. There are a couple of people/groups running what amounts to house concerts, although they may be in other than living-room venues, at least one church basement-type coffee house with a good mix of performers, two local entrepreneurs (that I know of) bringing in groups like Danu, 2 summer concert series run by the city, a University-based concert series, a weekly Irish jam, and so forth. I can't think that I've been to anything that wasn't a packed house.
