Your week in live music...
SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 10
POSTPONED: Bryan Adams Not-Ryan Adams is headlining a big show at that big green space on the Intercoastal. Sure, autumn is readying itself to rear its pretty red, yellow, purple, black, orange and pink head for other U.S. neighborhoods not located in Florida, but down here in the Sunshine State, where the heat Cuts Like a Knife, is a more-than-fine place for a 57-year-old Canadian vegan to unfurl songs like “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” and “Heaven” for a crowd ready to party like it’s the “Summer of ‘69.” It’ll definitely be a night to remember, but don’t forget to read CL correspondent Gabe Echazabal’s recent interview with Adams here. (Coachman Park, Clearwater) POSTPONED
CANCELLED: I Love The 90s Party w/TLC/Mark McGrath/Coolio/All-4-One Wrecked about that cancelled Ruff Ryders reunion show in Tampa? Well be double-bummed, you nostalgia-chasing fool, because this show, which arrived directly off of an episode of MTV’s Say What? Karaoke, was also 86’ed before the storm was even news. “Unforeseen circumstances” (did they predict the weather?) are to blame for this one, so go chase waterfalls somewhere else. (Al Lang Stadium, St. Petersburg) CANCELLED
RESCHEDULED: Pabst Blue Ribbon Bottle Release Party w/CatMat/EZ-Rob/DJ Cub One of Ybor City’s favorite graphic designers and DJs (DJ Cub of Sunset Sundays fame) has his artwork featured on a new batch of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer bottles hitting shelves nationwide this year, and to celebrate he’s throwing a little shindig complete with hand-picked tunes, custom PBR screenprints and a whole lot of pride for our local scene. (New World Brewery, Ybor City) RESCHEDULED
RESCHEDULED: WMNF Birthday Party w/Johnny Zoom Hi-Fi Show/Daniel Ruth/Scott Imrich Tampa Bay community station WMNF 88.5 FM is celebrating 38 years of being a foil to commercial radio by doing what so many other socially conscious, music-loving almost-40-year-olds do: heading to the local brewery, eating Cuban food and reading the paper. Tampa Bay Times columnist Daniel Ruth is the evening’s featured speaker (so you won’t have to actually read the rag), and DJ Scott Imrich plus surf-rocker Johnny Zoom will make sure there’s enough hand-picked local music to nosh on, too. (Brew Bus Terminal, Tampa) RESCHEDULED
TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 12
CANCELLED: John Moreland America used to call John Moreland the patron saint of loneliness, but the 32-year-old Tulsa troubador is singing a much different (and rather rocking) song these days. Just listen to his latest LP — this year’s Big Bad Luv — for proof and then get blessed when he brings it to Straz Center’s very intimate Jaeb Theatre. We spoke to Moreland about all that’s right in his life and have the interview there for you right here. (Jaeb Theatre at David A. Straz Center for the Performing Arts, Tampa) INFO
CANCELLED: Japanese Breakfast w/Mannequin Pussy/Spirit of the Beehive Fans of rising pop songwriters Jay Som and Mitski should already have September 12 saved for a show from Japanese Breakfast, but here’s a friendly reminder to make sure you’re there when Michelle Zauner brings what started as a 30-day song-a-day challenge to Ybor City for a headlining set that we hope swirls around her new LP, Soft Sounds from Another Planet. The release finds the Philly DIY darling sneaking away from the delicate bedroom pop of a 2016 debut (Psychopomp) and into the ears of producer Craig Hendrix, who helped Zauner evolve the synth-pop agenda on older stuff and turn it into full-fledged grown-up rock record that doesn’t sacrifice the intimate, honest lyrics that made Psychopomp (and Zauner’s work in Little Big League) so easy to love in the first place. (Crowbar, Ybor City) CANCELLED
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 13
POSTPONED: Damian Marley Junior Gong does not have a junior voice, and you could look back at Damian Marley’s groundbreaking 2005 album Welcome to Jamrock for proof. For a more current exhibit, however, glance no further than a brand new studio album (Stony Hill, the first new album from Bob’s youngest son in more than a decade) where Marley, 39, takes reggae to the club without abandoning the classic sounds that made the genre an unstoppable force in the world of pop culture. (Jannus Live, St. Petersburg) POSTPONED
Brewers, Beats and Bites Food Truck Rally w/Tribal Style Even when Kias drive through the Bro Bowl, downtown Tampa’s Perry Harvey Sr. park is one of the most laid-back places to play ball, skate, walk your dog or just splash in the park. It’ll get some gwan sprinkled on it when Tampa reggae band Tribal Style gives tunes to this music, food and beer rally. Free, obviously, but bring money for food and drink.

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 07
CANCELLED: Creatio w/American Songbox/The Chemical Lizards/Luck You Years of unreleased demos have found a home with Creatio, a blues and rock trio featuring a pair of Winston-Salem guys (frontman Stephen Mabe and drummer Zakk Dixon, formerly of Skyway Airlines) who’ve linked up with Bay area guitarist Mark Connelly as the band readies a new EP, Ex Nihilo. The effort is buoyed by an acoustic, melancholy single (“Triage”), and Creatio is supporting it by playing 16 shows throughout Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, the Carolinas and more. (Brass Mug, Tampa) INFO
Orphaned Land w/Voodoo Kungfu A 2010 LP, The Never Ending Way of ORwarriOR, may have set the bar way too high for Israeli metal outfit Orphaned Land. The band, which hadn’t released a studio LP since 2004’s Mabool, and its unique blend of Middle Eastern-flavored extreme metal was in peak form on ORwarriOR, which found singer Kobi Farhi vocalizing three languages (Arabic, English and Hebrew) while the band showed no mercy toward metal purists uninterested in the genre evolving. All Is One came just three years later and left a legion of the band’s apologists trying to explain that the relatively short lag time between albums was to blame for the music’s lack of punch or purpose. A new album is due in January 2018, and Farhi has assured fans that a return to form is on its way. “Growls are back as well as killer melodies that will break your hearts!” he wrote in a statement this summer. Voodoo Kungfu from Beijing — fronted by Berklee-educated singer Nan Li — opens the show. (Crowbar, Ybor City) INFO
Jon Ditty 30th Birthday w/BC/Stick Martin/more Pubs are only as good as the people they employ, and on Thursday Dunedin Brewery’s popular prince of positivity — Mr. Jon Ditty — will celebrate his 30th birthday by welcoming all of his regulars to see Ditty the emcee and an eclectic lineup featuring longtime Tampa rapper (and host of WMNF’s Hip-Hop Flavors) BC, Monkey House Music’s Stick Martin and more. (Dunedin Brewery, Dunedin) INFO
Love and Solidarity w/Bangarang/TRC/79 Sorcery/Badda Skat/Pedro El Poeta Jarquin/Kofi Hunt/more One of the questionable things to emerge out of the dumpster fire of 2016 (and its baby brother 2017 so far) has been heightened internet advocacy. My cynicism doesn’t stem from the idea that some woke-AF kid is speaking up online, but from the reality that so much of the anger and prognosticating really never leaves the realm of www-dot-(insert cause here)-dot.org. That’s why it’s pretty cool to see Iberian Rooster putting its money where its keystrokes are with this show that’ll benefit the Tampa Bay Dream Defenders, who are “building a powerful, deep, local, organization and movement for freedom and liberation in Florida.” The group’s vision is pretty radical (nonviolent resistance as a means to destroy capitalism, imperialism, the Patriarchy), and it’s sure to make your bluest friend scream, “all lives matter,” but yelling is a little necessary these days, isn’t it? Hip-hop, rock, reggae and poetry come together at this one where a $5 cover and some of the bar sales go toward the cause. Not sure If there’ll be a broflake protest area available outside, though. (SubCentral at Iberian Rooster, St. Petersburg) INFO
CANCELLED: Infinite Third Consuming kava is supposed to create a calming feeling for the user, and anyone downing the Piper methysticum extract at this St. Pete shop can expect to enjoy a nice sonic side effect care of Billy Mays III, who’ll bring his Infinite Third ambient music installation to play. (Grassroots Kava House, St. Petersburg) INFO
LINEUP CHANGE: Rock the Park w/Small Reactions/Bangarang/Someday River/Shua Georgia’s Small Reactions has a St. Pete stop at Green Bench Brewing Co. on Friday, but it doesn’t mean that catching the post-rock quartet at downtown Tampa’s free Rock the Park concert series isn’t going to be mesmerizing. [Update: Small Reactions has cancelled all Florida dates, Bangarang will play in its stead]. Press play on the East Atlanta Village boys’ new video for “Cowboy Up” — where bolo’ed bloodlust plays out under a pink light that’s just as hazy as Small Reactions’ style of drone-y and nervous “situational pop” — to see why a new LP (RXN_002, released one month ago) is one of the best Peach State releases we’ve heard this year. Greyson Charnock’s Someday River psych-folk project opens the show alongside St. Pete songwriter Shua Harrell. (Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, Tampa) INFO
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 08
The Jackettes w/Fr33dback/Bendy Straw/Firstworld The Jackettes’ latest session for WMNF late-night program Grand National Championships is a welcome update to the St. Pete band’s charming green-eyed soul, and this will be the last time frontman Jackson Davis & Co. get to enchant comers to the patio at Ybor City’s fabled New World Brewery (the iconic venue will stage one last show on September 23 before relocating to Sulphur Springs). The company is great at this one and will get very ‘tronic thanks to the “glitchy, downtempo ambient house” of producer Matt Reisinger (aka Fr33dback), Katherine Mata’s lyrical whimsy (Bendy Straw) and Sigh Kicks’ Kris Alvarez, who is now making humidor-seasoned chillwave under the Firstworld banner. (New World Brewery, Ybor City) INFO

CANCELLED: Ruff Ryders w/DMX/Eve/Swizz Beats/The Lox/Drag-On/Fat Joe Where my dogs at? Apparently not at this 20th anniversary show for the Ruff Ryders crew, which was cancelled late last week. No specifics were tossed out, but TMZ did just report that embattled rapper DMX is headed to rehab so that he can come off house arrest. Get better, my dawg. (MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre, Tampa) INFO
A Night of Drum and Bass Second Anniversary w/A1-Voodoo/Danny The Wildchild/Random Movement/Jaybee/Thee Joker/Mike Mass/Rude 100/Footsouljahs/Random J/Kay-S/Hellman CLRH20 returns to Tampa under a new moniker (A1-Voodoo) and will be joined by a Chicago house music luminary (and underrated turntablist) Danny the Wildchild, who will headline an anniversary show for this consistently solid drum and bass night. Promoters nod their heads at Wildchild’s love of hip-hop by welcoming Mike Mass and Rude 100 to do beat sets, and it’ll be anchored by Night of Drum and Bass regulars the Footsouljahs, Jaybee and Thee Joker. (Crowbar, Ybor City) INFO
CANCELLED: Dark Tranquility w/Warbringer/Striker It has been just over a year since the departure of founding Dark Tranquility bassist Martin Henriksson (he switched to guitar after 10 years in the Swedish death band, but Henriksson says he “lost the passion for music” before quitting). This show will be a good test to see if new guys (Andromeda’s Johan Reinholdz and Armageddon’s Christopher Amott) have been able to use their own passions to catch up to the sounds Henriksson put down on Dark Tranquility’s latest LP, Atoma, which saw release last year. California thrash quintet Warbringer supports its own new LP (Woe to the Vanquished, released in March) in the opening slot along with speed metal Canadians Striker. (Orpheum, Ybor City) CANCELLED
RESCHEDULED: Adam Ant It’s a little hard to believe, but this show will be Adam Ant’s Capitol Theatre debut. It comes five years after the 62-year-old’s set at Tampa’s Hard Rock Café and nearly four decades after Mr. Ant (real name Stuart Leslie Goddard) captured the world’s attention on 1979’s Dirk Wears White Sox, where a band headed for a breakup (this Ants lineup only released one LP) managed to piece together a gleefully strange exploration of glam rock filled with songs that mined the minutiae of sex and loneliness with just enough self-absorption to turn it into a time-tested post-punk classic. (Capitol Theater, Clearwater) RESCHEDULED
POSTPONED: Tony Bennett We don’t mention shows that are 60 miles away from the CL office. We’ll make an exception for this 91-year-old member of the Queens, New York music hall of fame (which isn’t a real place, but totally should be). Go see the man born Anthony Dominick Benedetto and put some respeck on his name, mmmk? (Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, Sarasota) INFO
CANCELLED LINEUP CHANGE: Hello Joyce w/ Acho Brother/Small Reactions/Costas [Update 2: This thing is cancelled altogether. Update: Small Reactions has cancelled its Florida dates. Costas has also cancelled this show, which still happens with new lineup inside of the brewery.] Remember that St. Pete show from Small Reactions we wrote about earlier in these pages? This is it, but it’s also another chance to catch fledgling Bay area indie outfit Costas spread its wings and yet one more reason to see Tampa dream-pop dudes Hello Joyce make good on the sounds of a strong debut full-length, Couch Thoughts, which was released at the end of July. (Green Bench Brewing Co., St. Petersburg) CANCELLED
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 09
POSTPONED: Steve Earle and the Dukes Oh boy, this is gonna be the kind of show that’ll make Hannity-worshipping fuckboys have a Tucker Carlson-talking -about-BLM level aneurysm. Grammy-winning songwriter Steve Earle brings a very country new LP, So You Wanna Be an Outlaw, to Clearwater, where a little of the twang from his ‘99 album (The Mountain) hopefully gets mixed in with a smidge of the grit he brought to Guy Clark’s Old No. 1 and the anti-Nashville sound he helped to usher in on a 1986 debut, Guitar Town. Earle is quasi-infamous for suffering through drug addiction that nearly killed him in the mid-’90s, but lately he’s been ruffling feathers on account of his very abrasive approach to talking about a certain, very “fascist,” orange individual occupying the White House. Earle also likes fishing for trout, so maybe we’ll see him living the salt life on our white sand beaches, too. (Capitol Theatre, Clearwater) INFO
RESCHEDULED: Crooked Thumb Oktoberfest w/Have Gun, Will Travel/Shawn Kyle Some wurst, spaetzle and sauerkraut washed down by a few pints of Shade Tree IPA and soundtracked by Have Gun, Will Travel and Tampa songwriter Shawn Kyle seems like the perfect reason to test the boundaries of Crooked Thumb Brewery’s afternoon-nap-to-some-cool-tunes policy. We’ll be the guy in a broken-down lawn chair, drooling with a little bit of pretzel bun resting on the corner of our stupid, sleepy smile. (Crooked Thumb Brewery, Safety Harbor) INFO
POSTPONED: Live From The Underground w/Joshua Cruz/Nasja Mone We’ve been full-fledged, googly-eyed supporters of Tampa pop songwriter Joshua Cruz ever since his sexy “Poison Lips” video found itself permanently on loop in the corner of our second computer monitor, and we’re definitely a little excited to see that the 25-year-old is putting his bandleader hat on with a fearsome foursome — Nasja Wilkins, Julian Carrington, Trevor Eastering and Israel Solberg — backing him up. Yes, there will be soul, pop and R&B covers, but there will also be originals, which have the potential to figuratively set the basement on fire. (SubCentral at Iberian Rooster, St. Petersburg) INFO
POSTPONED, The Fritz w/Leisure Chief Press materials say that rock and soul band The Fritz sounds like a “mix of Prince meets Talking Heads meets Jimi Hendrix.” Fightin’ words, but the Asheville-based outfit arrives with fists balled up anyway thanks to a new, people-power LP (Natural Mind) which does not tiptoe around topics like racial injustice, addiction and all of the hogwash we get fed as a part of an unfortunate, content-rich 24-hour media cycle. (Skipper’s Smokehouse, Tampa) INFO
CANCELLED: Obituary Beer Release w/Shroud Eater/Beerwolf/Druid Lord/Warlab In a March 2017 preview of a show at Ybor City’s Orpheum, CL declared Tampa metal-gods-gone-global Obituary “still undead,” but those who really want to live need to head north to the Brass Mug where the Brandon, Florida boys will play a show at what’s perennially been the standard-issue stomping ground for any rock band that wants to do anything meaningful in the Bay area. Extra bonus points since the show doubles as a release for Obiturary’s new Cigar City Brewing beer, “Find the A-Ryez Rye” amber ale. (Brass Mug, Tampa) CANCELLED
POSTPONED: GoldLink D’Anthony Carlos is having a good year. The 2015 XXL Freshman class alum is five months removed from the release of his full-length debut album — At What Cost — which features just-certified gold hit single “Crew,” where the 24-year-old Washington D.C. rapper better known as GoldLink delivers a slick-talkin’, very horny and strangely reverent full-blown party-starter. Read Jenna Rances’ interview with Goldlink soon. (Orpheum, Ybor City) RESCHEDULED
RESCHEDULED: Scene Unity and Punk Rock Flea Market w/Shurwood/Blacksmith/Seek Well/Coexist/Safety Switch/Six Paths Shurwood went to Montgomery, New York to record some songs at Nada Studios (Brand New, Hot Rod Circuit, Knuckle Puck, My Chemical Romance) and the joint’s vibes totally rubbed off on the three tunes the Tampa emo-gaze band brought back home to the 813. Listen to them via cltampa.com/music and bring cash to buy merch from other bands, which include Coexist (playing in support of a July collection of metalcore demos), Zephyrhills punks Seek Well and CL faves Blacksmith. (Transitions Art Gallery, Ybor City) INFO
LINEUP CHANGE The Tim Version w/Radarmen/Old Vices/Flat Stanley It’s only fitting that The Tim Version — one of Tampa Bay’s longest-running, most respected punks bands — would get to headline its own final farewell show at one of the area’s most revered live-music venues. Jeff Brawer and friends are breaking Old Vices out for this one, where the Fest-bound Flat Stanley opens the show. (New World Brewery, Ybor City) INFO
Skum Fest featuring w/Cemetery Rapist/Dismember the Carcass/Blistering Defilement/Merciless Scum/Skum of the Slum/Death Incarnate/Cunt Torch/Menstrual Moonshine Honestly, this show (which reads like an insult list from the Westboro Baptist Church’s street heckler starter pack) probably has no place in this week’s live music listings, but we couldn’t help but point out how incredibly incredulous we are about these bands' names being real. We’ll give you one guess as to the genre these bands belong to (hint, it starts with an “m” and rhymes with “petal”), but we’re hoping you don’t assume all outfits operating in the sphere share the same attitude toward spelling, the afterlife and vaginas.
