Before heading to Coachella this spring, Nick Rattigan–who uses the Current Joys moniker—is embarking on a world tour of smaller venues, including Crowbar in Ybor City where he plays on Friday.

Rattigan released two new albums in 2021, and has only played a handful of shows to promote his new album, Voyager and its concert film, “The Phantom of the Highland Park Ebell.”
