Bring your egg catching hands to Ella’s Americana Folk Art Cafe because they’re likely to fly through the air when harmonica-playing blues madman and Ella’s co-founder Ernie Locke returns to the stage for his semi-annual live set as part of the Seminole Heights restaurant’s anniversary.

Locke kicks off the festivities and is followed by beloved Bay area bard Will Quinlan (backed by legendary producer and guitarist Steve Connelly, nonetheless), plus more out-of-your-skill harmonica shredding from newish rockabilly band The Handshakes, and a closing set from The Holy Terror which sounds a little like country-jazz on mescaline. There’s no cover, but expect to stand around and wait for a table or bar seat at what’s become one of Tampa’s most entertaining Sunday afternoons.

The Ella’s Hunka Hunka 14th Anniversary Shebang happens at Ella’s Americana Folk Art Cafe in Tampa on Sunday, Sept. 10.
