JJ Grey & Mofro w/ Parker Millsap Road. Trip. Parker Millsap’s September set at Skipper’s Smokehouse will definitely stand as one of the year’s best, and a chance to see the 23-year-old roar alongside one of swamp-folk’s elder statesmen, JJ Grey of Mofro fame, at this intimate venue is worth way more than the 45 miles we’ll have to drive to get there from CL’s Ybor City headquarters. (Jessie's Lounge, Winter Haven) INFO
Dunedin Wines the Blues Festival w/Damon Fowler Group/ Jonathan Boogie Long/Branson Welsh/Woody and the Woodtones Dunedin totally rocks in this week’s Music Week listings, and the city’s Saturday throwdown featuring Damon Fowler Group is the centerpiece. Appearances from the hometown boy are easy to take advantage of, but don’t miss this opportunity to catch his blistering blues as well as a set from Louisiana’s Jonathon Boogie, who’s been playing old gospel since he was six-years-old, all while downing wines from all over the world. (Downtown Dunedin) INFO
Elle King w/Paul Cauthen Well, Elle King is in the Swiftie Squad now. The 27-year-old was seen hanging with T-Swizzle at last week’s Country Music Awards, and while King’s big hit “Ex’s and Oh’s” only kinda sorta twangs, it does definitely strike a major chord (actually it’s in E-minor) with fans who’ll pack the courtyard for this show where actual country singer Paul Cauthen — from Tyler, Texas — opens supporting a rock solid 2016 LP, My Gospel. (Jannus Live, St. Petersburg) INFO

Reeve Carney w/Kaleigh Baker/Kristopher James Fans of theater and television will recognize Reeve Carney from Showtime’s Penny Dreadful and Broadway’s Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark. The 33-year-old handsome-rock pioneer also slings geetar as a solo artist, and where he was playing blues bars in L.A. over a decade ago, his songs these days are more for fans of quiet indie rock. They were good enough land him gigs opening for Arcade Fire and U2, so don’t write the kid off. (Crowbar, Ybor City) INFO
Fast Company: FILTH Reunion w/Bayside Scoundrels/Dfunkdamager Filth, a defunct Wednesday night St. Pete dance party gets resurrected from the dead for a one night only throwdown (Saturday, this time) where classic rock, new wave, disco, funk, house, punk and anything else that makes you move will be blasted onto the dance floor. (The Bends, St. Petersburg) INFO
Kristian Nairn Yerp, Hordor is coming. HBO’s favorite Irishman, Kristian Nairn is playing a DJ set at The Ritz, and it’s being billed as a “Rave of Thrones.” You’re allowed to dress up as your favorite Game of Thrones character. (The Ritz, Ybor City) INFO
