Fresh off a set paying tribute to Bob Dylan’s Basement Tapes—and en route to the panhandle’s 30A Songwriters Festival—celebrated San Francisco songwriter Chuck Prophet returns to Tampa Bay to once again play a solo set for another beloved entity: community radio station WMNF Tampa 88.5-FM.

Expect to hear a few tunes from the 60-year-old’s 2020 Yep Roc outing ​​The Land That Time Forgot, but don’t be surprised if Prophet takes listeners into all the corners of his more than 30-year songwriting career.

Matt Burke, frontman for Bay area Americana hero Have Gun, Will Travel, opens the show, which is a carbon copy of the gig Prophet did under the Skipperdome last year.

Tickets to see Chuck Prophet play Skipper’s Smokehouse in Tampa on Thursday, Jan. 11 are still available for $20.
