Fangsgiving has always had the feel good vibe of telethon worth supporting, and in 2020, thanks to COVID-19, it’ll look kind of like one, too. Going forward, shows at Crowbar will feature a 100-person max capacity, seating requirements, temperature checks, and, you guessed it, livestreams.
Those unable to get in the door in-person this weekend can tune in via Tampa Sessions, who’ll give anyone a chance to take in the all-star talent—including local songwriters, Americana favorites (like Have Gun, Will Travel pictured), a legit string ensemble and even a band featuring Crowbar co-owner Tom DeGeorge—do cover sets all night long.
You can also count on concert organizers to give viewers plenty of chances to support a philanthropic effort that boosts music education in Tampa Bay.
Fangsgiving III w/Jeff Brawer/JT Brown/Tom DeGeorge and the Silver Beard Band/Jeremy Gloff/more. Sat. Oct. 23, 8 p.m. $10. Crowbar, Ybor City. crowbarybor.com
