✔️ = Critic’s Pick
✔️ A Shevizzle Party w/Bangarang/Tommy Phenom & Cherry Bomb It’s always good to see young faces at Skipper’s Smokehouse, and that’s what’s happening at this Sunday gig where a powerhouse vocalist (Shevonne Philidor and her band, The Force) joins soulful rock and roller Tommy Phenom and Tampa rock and rap band Bangarang for a spin under the Skipperdome. (Skipper’s Smokehouse, Tampa) INFO
Sunset Sundays w/Steph Money/DJ Cub/Scott Imrich/Michael McDuffie Fans of yacht-rock, AM gold and ’70s-’80s pop sorely miss setting sail with Sunset Sundays, but the afternoon DJ sesh that made its name at the since-shuttered old location of New World Brewery returns this week for a six-hour tour inside of the cozy confines of Seminole Heights’ American Legion. (American Legion – Seminole Post 111, Tampa) INFO
✔️ DJ Shiftee DJ Shiftee must’ve heard about the madness that’s been happening at Ol’ Dirty Sundays for more than half-a-decade now. The two-time DMC World Champ requested to make his first appearance, and has promised to bring an elevated level of turntablism to this always-free, come-as-you-are patio party where residents DJ Casper and DJ Fader play support. (Ol’ Dirty Sundays at Crowbar, Ybor City) INFO
MAX + MINDY
Max Norton teams up with producer Mindy Watts, gives us a peek at new solo material
✔️ Max Norton w/Kaleigh Baker Former Tampa boy Max Norton is always good for at least one yearly visit back home, and he’s in from Nashville to play new material from a follow-up to his debut record of rocking folk music, Blood Moon. This free and laid-back set as part of the Independent’s long-running Sunday School for Sinners series is the perfect setting for Norton’s return, and the addition of powerhouse vocalist and songwriter Kaleigh Baker makes this a no-cover, no-brainer choice for your live-music Sunday. (Independent Bar and Café, Tampa) INFO
Classic Albums Live: The Beatles “White Album” Beatles fans are well aware that they’ll never see cuts from the band’s “White Album” played live, but Classic Albums Live gives nostalgia seekers a fighting chance at experiencing the next best thing with this, a note-for-note, cut-by-cut recreation of the 1968 double-LP. (Capitol Theatre, Clearwater) INFO
✔️ Hungover w/Keep Flying/The Happy Alright/The Cigarette Blondes/Stranger Than Fiction/For The Best Further proving that there are good shows in nearly every corner of the Bay area is this suburban Sunday-afternoon pop-punk party headlined by Orlando five-pice Hungover, which just signed with Smartpunk records. The label will re-release the band’s March EP, WILT, and the band will be joined by five other outfits of the same ilk. (Noise Box, Tampa) INFO
Pegboard Nerds Alexander Odden and Michael Parsberg — aka Pegboard Nerds — are no strangers to poolside club sets, and this one at Shepard’s will be no different as the Danish-Norwegian EDM duo arrives to support a very ’90s/psychtrance new EP, Full Hearts, which will play well with the good-times-only vibes at this Clearwater Beach resort.
