We’re expecting a strong contingent of Parrotheads to show up in St. Petersburg when Lakeland-based guitarist John Frinzi takes to the listening room at Hideaway Café. The Lakelander’s early demos inspired Coral Reefer Doyle Grisham to team up with Frinzi and produce his solo debut. This one finds Frinzi playing alongside original Jimmy Buffett guitarist Roger Bartlett as he works through songs from a 2017 album, Blue Sky View, where many of the songs are co-written with novelist Tom Corcoran, who got co-writing credits on Jimmy Buffett classics “Fins,” and “Cuban Crime of Passion.”

John Frinzi w/Roger Bartlett, Sat. June 30. 6 p.m.Hideaway Café, 1756 Central Ave. St. Petersburg. hideawaycafe.biz.
