Friday night at New World Brewery will be the closest Tampa will get to a music fest since GMF, with completely different shows happening on the music venue’s two stages. The inside stage will have local music school Jim Chambers Music Box hosting a youth showcase featuring the bands The Last Nerv, The Perps and Plush. Outside in the biergarten, Have Gun WIll Travel’s new drummer Sam Farmer gets some solo stage time with an acoustic set. Both shows are all ages. Shows are limited capacity to allow for social distancing and masks are required.
On Friday afternoon, show bookers at New World told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that there's been a change of lineup, with Dennis Stadelman (of jam band Cope) playing instead of Sam Farmer who will be back on Dec. 27
