The live music scene continues to be carried by locals, with a few national acts venturing into Florida. Lower coronavirus numbers and an increased rate of vaccination are the best bets when it comes to bringing national tours back to Tampa Bay's most intimate clubs, so please consider getting stuck with a needle if you haven't already. Bring a mask with you to live music venues, respect each establishment's rules, and stay home if you're feeling ill.
