As far as capacity goes, Crowbar<\/a> is one of many small indie venues across the U.S. where homegrown acts can cut their teeth as openers and headliners on local bills\u2014and then pack the room on sold-out national tours.<\/p>\n

Leon Majcen<\/a> (say it, \u201cmight-zin\u201d) is the perfect example of that arc.<\/p>\n

After finding his sound as he emerged from St. Pete College, the Czech-born songwriter is now based in Nashville where he\u2019s a rising star of country music, with glowing write ups in Rolling Stone and slots opening for the likes of Kip Moore, Paul Cauthen and Margo Price.<\/p>\n

Living on the road, the 27-year-old\u2014now backed by a full band\u2014has spent the last three years checking things off his bucket list, like headlining Denver\u2019s scenic Old Saloon. This is Tampa\u2019s last chance to head to Crowbar and leave saying they saw an artist back when.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tickets to see Leon Majcen, Kristopher James, and Adam Randall & The Band at Crowbar in Ybor City on Thursday, July 30 are still available and start at $28.03.<\/a><\/p>\n
