Following a successful single release gig with Have Gun, Will Travel last weekend, Matt Burke will prove that he’s one of the most versatile artists in Tampa Bay’s music scene when he helps showcase the vision of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Andy Brey, who fronts and founded heavy power-folk band Andy & the Argonauts.

Brey’s band—which includes Burke on electric guitar, plus Jesse Martin on drums and Jesse’s brother Chris on bass—has penned gothic tunes about the 1991 eruption of the Philippines’ Mount Pinatubo which affected the climate for a few years (Brey is a geologist by day).

The band releases a four-song EP after support sets by two of the Bay area’s most-revered songwriters.

Tickets to see Rebekah Pulley Twosome, and Joshua Reilly play the music hall at New World Brewery on Friday, Jan. 10 are still available for $10. Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
