Tampa Bay’s live music weekend has arrived, fully unprepared for the closing of Crowbar after Friday’s finale with Talib Kweli. The show marks the end of 20-year-run for the iconic venue, and it’s a not-so-gentle reminder that live music should not be taken for granted.
Look below for Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s weekly rundown of the best live music coming to Tampa Bay over the next seven days.
This listing is compiled by CL contributors and staffers, then beefed up with select gigs off the user-submitted community events page.
