Heartstring-tugging singer-songwriter Rudy De Anda comes to Tampa Bay for an intimate dive bar gig.

De Anda leaves on his pointedly titled “Gulf of Mexico” tour this weekend, for a jaunt that starts in Chicago and then heads straight to Florida for three dates: Miami, St. Pete and Orlando.

There’s no cover to see Rudy De Anda play The Bends in St. Petersburg on Saturday, Aug. 23.
