Critics of bro-country (or mainstream country, whatever you want to call it) say that the songwriting is formulaic and anchored in clichés like dogs, divorce and flatbed pickup trucks. Well, if you’ve ever said that “anyone can write a bro-country” song, then prove it on Tuesday when Crooked Thumb Brewery’s long-running Melody Artisans songwriter night asks Bay area songsmiths to play original “bro-country parody songs” live and in-person. It’s a craft brewery, so bring your own Bud Light, we guess.
Tues. April 30. Crooked Thumb Brewery, 555 10th Ave. S., Safety Harbor. 7-10 p.m. crookedthumbbrew.com.
