Alabama-originated quartet The Brook and the Bluff has spent most of its time writing and recording mostly acoustic guitar-based material in Nashville, as a good number of musicians do at some point.

While we hope that three-part harmonies ala Crosby, Stills, and Nash are in the band’s future, its current run of shows wraps up with what appears to be a Tampa Bay debut—that’s sold-out.

Fellow Nashvillian singer-songwriter Savannah Conley opens the show on the same day she releases her debut album, Playing the Part of You Is Me. NPR recently lauded the 25-year-old for sidestepping Nashville cliches on one album highlight “More Than Fine”.

Tickets to see Savannah Conley open for The Brook and the Bluff at Crowbar in Ybor City on Friday, May 12 are sold-out.
