You canโ€™t say that Sister Hazel hasnโ€™t been kind to its home state. In the last five years, the band has staged a pandemic drive-in show at Raymond James Stadium in 2020, headlined a tribute concert to a fallen music scene devotee, and even saw frontmen Ken Block and Drew Copeland do a handful of acoustic gigs in Clearwater and Safety Harbor.

On this run of summer showsโ€”one year out from the 30th anniversary of Sister Hazelโ€™s debut albumโ€”expect a career retrospective, filled with jangly, Southern anthems, as well as a few covers of both those who have fallen (including fellow Gainesville legend Tom Petty), and The Killersโ€™ โ€œMr. Brightside.โ€ Because how else do you make a group of sweaty Floridians lose their shit?

Tickets to see Sister Hazel play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Thursday, Aug. 3 are still on sale for $27.50.
