Mac DeMarco has released more than 200 songs this year, but another smooth, easy-listening Canadian indie-rock act has a more streamlined, edited and enjoyable collection of music to share.

Winona Forever (whose band name was once tattooed on Johnny Depp’s body) is on the road supporting Acrobat, an April release riddled with silky synthesizer, vocoder, bright guitar riffs and effervescent melodies for fans of DeMarco, Mustard Service and even Michael McDonald.

Orlando dream-pop band Cathedral Bells is no stranger to Tampa Bay, but this time arrives on the same day it releases a new album, Everything At Once. Sorry Barb opens the show.

Tickets to see Winona Forever play Hooch and Hive in Tampa on Friday, May 19 are still available for $12-$15.
