A polished vocal will make for some hearty singalongs, but the star of this show is The Midnight’s impeccable mix of synthwave and mass-appeal pop. The duo made up of Atlanta singer-songwriter Jamison Tyler Lyle and Los Angeles-based, Danish-born producer, songwriter and singer Tim Daniel McEwan is easily one of electronic music’s most beloved bands at the moment, so don’t be surprised if this queue wraps around the block. Listen to “America Online” if you need to be converted.
The Midnight. Fri. Sept. 6, 8 p.m. $22 & up. Orpheum, Ybor City. ticketfly.com.
