LaRue Nickelson’s no-cover Tampa concert tops list of Bay area jazz shows this weekend

It’s not wise to miss a gig from Tampa Bay’s dean of jazz guitar, especially when there’s no cover and the beer and wine’s good. No telling who’ll show up to support LaRue Nickelson for this courtyard throwdown.

There’s no cover to see LaRue Nickelson play First Saturday Jazz at The Independent Bar & Cafe in Tampa on Saturday, July 6.
