Tampa bass savant Rugawd debuts ‘Sea of Niche’ project with free Tampa concert

For a handful of lucky Tampa musicians, Rugawd is a secret weapon who lends his mathy basslines to their sound.

For a brand new jazz and hip-hop quintet, “Sea Of Niche,” Rugawd gets to play frontman and welcome his own favorite players—Peter Mongaya on guitar, saxophonist Nick Bredel (aka ChootyB), drummer Rod Alnord, and Nick Peters on keys—to help bring personal visions to life. This debut performance is no-cover, and BYOB, and will be filmed live inside the newish location for a beloved vintage shop.

There’s no cover to see ‘Sea of Niche’ featuring Rugawd and Friends at Tampa’s Far Forest on Sunday, June 18, but an RSVP is required.
