Seminole Heights restaurant Ella’s has always been an A-plus venue for laid-back concerts, but it’s become a dinner theater in the wake of COVID-19. Guests must book reservation-only, seated dinner shows; the June music calendar for Ella’s looks a lot like it did before Covid-19 precautions started to cripple local businesses.

This weekend see’s Florida’s best ear-to-ear-grinnin’ one-man band Lauris Vidal taking the stage on Sunday, and rock-and-roller Daryl Hance playing on Friday night. Stream the concerts on Facebook.

Lauris Vidal, Sun. June 21, 3 p.m. Free with reservation. Ella’s Americana Folk Art Café, Tampa. ellasfolkartcafe.com
