The end of an era on the corner of Tampa’s N Nebraska and E Shadowlawn Avenues arrives this weekend when Ella’s Americana Folk Art Cafe shuts down after 15 years of Southern-fried hospitality and comfort food.

No funeral for the Seminole Heights staple would be complete without live music, and while the ceremonies start on Thursday with a songwriter showcase topped by gravel-voiced Jeff Brawer—and a Friday show from punk band Former Contenders—the big Sunday brunch showdown will be the final act.

Countrybilly duo Skinny McGee & the Handshakes hits the stage along with rock outfit Boho Sideshow (featuring perhaps the Bay area’s only bassist-drummer), the Suwanee Ave. Marching Band, guitar-playing Blake High student Henry Locke, and Nervous Turkey. Locke’s dad, Ernie—who together with Ella’s owner Melissa Deming started the restaurant a-decade-and-a-half ago—is the driving force behind the swampified blues-rock band, and his wild, harmonica-laden, stage show is bound to reach new heights to mark the occasion.
