Displace is currently working on its fourth album Necessity, described as a new entry in a series of concept albums. Frontman and keytar whiz Chris Sgammato says the danceable, Tampa-based jazz-rock quartet’s weekend kickoff in Ybor City celebrates the release of its new single “All In.

There’s still no telling if Necessity will be a giant epic like Displace’s most recent album Accidental, but indulge in fellow fusion outfits HeadTones and TruPhonic before hearing the first single and coming up with theories.

Tickets to see Displace play Crowbar in Ybor City on Friday, Aug. 16 are still available for $15.
