Seminole Heights watering hole Independent Bar and Cafe celebrates its 15th anniversary this weekend with a duo of live shows.

On Saturday, cat-loving USF jazz guitar instructor of over 20 years LaRue Nickelson—who once told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that he doesn’t go out of his way to be an entertainer-style showman—will appear on night one.
