With the exception of a small handful of gigs, the eccentric commander behind the “soul/emo/rock/experimental” has seemed pretty quiet in 2024. But Jordan Esker’s about to end the year with a milestone accomplishment at Seminole Heights’ favorite indie record store.

Ten years ago, Esker and the Hundred Percent dropped their debut album Best Supporting Actor, and since then, the band has seen some lineup changes and new opportunities come about.

But this weekend, the original Hundred Percent will reconvene (along with some special guests and fellow Esker collaborators) for the ultimate 10th birthday party, with a little help from “Barbcore” alt-pop group Sorry Barb and rock four-piece TV Breakup Scene.

Tickets to see Jordan Esker and the Hundred Percent play Microgroove in Tampa on Saturday, Dec. 14 are still available and start at $10.
