John Ames

You can often tell what kind of an impact someone has in their community when shit hits the fan.

Friends of Tampeño scene supporter John Ames—who completely fucked up his right ankle and left heel after falling off a ladder in April—combine their powers for this gig.

Ames continues to work from a wheelchair but faces hardships to keep the lights on. Local rock bands and Ames’ kids put together this benefit gig to help ease the burden.

There’ll be an art auction on site as well as grub from the deeply satisfying This Little Pig food truck.

Tickets to Johnstock happening Saturday, July 27 at Deviant Libation in Tampa are $15 at the door.
