Just over a year after shooting the album art for her latest solo LP behind 687 Central Ave. in St. Petersburg, Laura Jane Grace is back at Floridian Social to not only support Hole In My Head (which the Alternative Press calls one of the best of the year so far), but also show off a new project.

The Mississippi Medicals includes Grace’s new wife, comedian Paris Campbell, plus punk icon Mikey Erg and Matt Patton who plays bass in Drive-By Truckers. Grace, 43, recently crammed new Mississippi Medicals tunes into a loud NPR Tiny Desk set that included favorites from her time in Against Me!, too.

Alabama folkie Taylor Hollingsworth (an alum of Conor Oberst’s Mystic Valley Band) opens the show along with party-starting rock and roll band Catbite.

Tickets to see Laura Jane Grace & The Mississippi Medicals play Floridian Social in St. Petersburg on Saturday, Sept. 7 are still available for $30. Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
