It’s been a bittersweet week for Michael Bostinto.

Last weekend the songwriter and multi-instrumentalist—together with his partner Jayda Abello, a DJ and Sector.FM resident—held a farewell party inside Webb’s City Cellar. This weekend, Bostinto, the voice and face behind Rollingchild, is on the kit for a birthday and going away show alongside his bandmates in instrumental outfit Soft Cuff.

The homies are coming out to say goodbye, too, thanks to Bay area rapper 9henom, who’s opening, and a rare appearance by formidable Tampa indie-rock favorite Brother Cephus.

Tickets to see Soft Cuff play Bayboro Brewing in St. Petersburg on Saturday, Dec. 27 are still available for $10.
