If you’re an avid supporter of alt-rock station 97X, you know damn well that Andrew McMahon has devoted endless time and energy to supporting them.

That’s why it’s not surprising to see him headlining a St. Petersburg concert for the station on Monday, Aug. 22 at Jannus Live.

McMahon and his four-piece band—who just opened a few of Billy Joel’s summer stadium shows—have appeared at at least three editions of 97X NBT in the last decade, as well as the 39-year-old (!) serving as a guest host at last year’s gig.
Just in case the guy who brought us Something Corporate doesn’t appear on this year’s lineup, 97X is hosting a Monday shindig with him and Whole Damn Mess. Whether you snagged free tickets at Circle K this week, or decide to just pay the $25 online, you’ll still be walking on a dream when McMahon hits the stage.

Listen to his new single, “Stars,” below.
