California songwriter Mike Pinto plays intimate listening room set in Ybor City this weekend

San Diego singer-songwriter Mike Pinto has been singing about California living for the last decade, earning spots on the iTunes singer-songwriter charts, and Billboard’s reggae charts along the way.

His fifth album, Truthful Lies, even debuted at no. 2 on Billboard. Right now, none of the incredibly prolific American songwriters (Dylan, Simon, Springsteen) have upcoming shows in Tampa Bay, so The Attic at Rock Brothers Brewing is giving a perfect opportunity to see a perennially “up-and-coming” artist such as Mike in a small setting.

The show is happening at 1510 E 8th Ave. in Ybor City. Doors are at 7 p.m., and tickets start at $25.

Joining Pinto will be a man of similar genres, Fayuca frontman Gabo Fayuca.
