Every Saturday, I cohost “Radio Reverb,” a two-hour, new music program on WMNF 88.5-FM in Tampa. This week, our playlist consists of songs from Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s year-end, local music roundup, which hit newsstands on Thursday.
The radio show also features a concert report listing about a dozen of the best Tampa Bay concerts to look out for over the next seven days. This week’s agenda is marked by several of the bands in CL’s best local music of 2019 story.
Get more info on what we talked about below, and tune in today from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. to hear some of what we’ve written about below. See even more show previews via cltampa.com/music.
