It’s John Fogerty’s birthday this weekend, so some of Tampa’s favorite bands are playing a tribute concert at Skipper’s

Generally, Tampa’s legendary Skipper’s Smokehouse hosts birthday tributes to rock stars who hit a multiple of five in age. But after the last two years, it’s completely understandable to have to make up for lost time.

On Saturday, May 28 starting at 6 p.m. community radio station WMNF has organized a host of local favorites—including the Chooglin’ Bayou Pickers, Bite Size, and Will Quinlan (pictured below), among others—to play the songs of CCR.

And all you Suzie Q-Anons will be relieved to know that masks are highly recommended, but not required for entry.
