Speak Easy, which plays 3 Daughters Brewing in St. Petersburg, Florida on July 20, 2024.

Tampa Bay might have its first perfect pop album of the year.

From the weepy strings and sexy synth on title track “To Make A Man,” to the melody and harmony on “Winds Softly Change,” and the bare bones balladry of “Always With Me,” Speak Easy's full-length debut is 37 minutes of pure yachty bliss.

The quartet—Eric Yoder, Brendon Porter, Jack Clements, and Karekin Sahagian—wraps the 11-track album up in its signature polish, and while it’ll be a treat to catch a buzz and see the heartthrobs in this brewery setting, we’re hoping for a full on album release show before Porter skips town.

There's no cover to see Speak Easy play 3 Daughters Brewing in St. Petersburg on Saturday, July 20. Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
