St. Petersburg’s Rise Up concert series is in the meat of its weeks long campaign to bring live music to the waterfront, and thousands of people once again gathered near Spa Beach in the shadow of the pier last Friday.

This time to take in sounds from pop songwriters Lauv, Chelsea Cutler, and Dwllrs. Rise Up continues this weekend with shows by Cavetown and G-Eazy.
