Downtown Tampa’s no-cover, pet-and-family-friendly Rock the Park concert series returns to The Curt after last month’s temporary move to Water Works Park, and brings with it a touring band.

On the road for what feels like forever, Gringo Star has repped Atlanta since 2007 when it released a self-titled six-track debut. A dozen releases later, the quartet is still on the road, this time just a month in front of a new, 11-track album, Sweethearts, led by the galloping indie-pop single, “Blood Moon,” which sounds like a lost artifact from the golden days of Athens, Georgia’s Elephant 6 Recording Co.

The Stone City and June Bunch open the show. JAM DISH and This Little Pig will be dishing up Jamaican and comfort food.

There’s no cover to see Gringo Star play Rock the Park at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in Tampa on Thursday, April 6.
