Pinellas has new space for live music, and its calendar’s been heating up. The Icehouse started as an ice cream distributorship in 1964 and was reborn half a century later as New Groove City Music Complex, which provided lessons, space to practice, plus recording studios.
Last year, the building got a new owner, Tim Church, who’s since renamed the space and shaped it into a community hub right off the Pinellas Trail.
“I just enjoy being surrounded music, the people that make music,” Church, a musician who is also a member of Creative Clay’s Board of Directors, wrote, “and a great fringe benefit; I can jump on the drums for a quick break between meetings.”
This weekend, Icehouse goes punk for a day-long makers market complete with tacos, adult beverages, live music and more.
There’s no cover for Pretty In Pink with Mace Hardcore, Las Nadas, Swearwolf, and more happening Sunday, Feb. 10 at The Icehouse in Gulfport.
