Berklee-educated, Tampa-based saxophonist Nick Bredal has played in notable local jazz and funk ensembles like Ethos of Aldissi and Chaka, and this weekend his horn and beatmaking is front and center under the ChootyB moniker.

Bredal—who plays Hooch and Hive in downtown Tampa’s West River district on Friday, Dec. 2—is joined on the bill by rapper Adrian O’Sullivan (aka The Black Ace), singer Biishop the Artist, plus host Jay Browne and DJ Perception. Get there early to see Choots onstage early as part of a seven-piece band supporting Jst Ray—DJ for wild-ass-fuck hip-hop group Barely Legal Collective—who’s putting on the songwriter hat for this show.
