On his eponymous, second, full-length album released last month, the 22-year-old indie-rock singer-songwriter born Khyree Zienty covers the annoyances of being shut out by someone you want to hear from, wishing he had never left Chicago, and even mentions self-harm over someone he declared the love of his life.

The record’s extensive use of both electric and acoustic guitars, as well as contemporary radio-esque production could easily land Zienty on a future 97X NBT bill. But in the meantime, indie-rock band AlexSucks (stylized “ALEXSUCKS”) opens his first Tampa Bay gig ever this weekend.

Tickets to see Alexsucks play Crowbar in Ybor City on Sunday, March 3 are still available and start at $20.
