✔️ Terroir006: to the earth I knew Tampa Heights had turned the corner towards hipster-dom when a succulent shop showed up, and now the good people at Terroir New Music have all but confirmed it. “Terroir006: to the earth” brings the experimental music collective to the Fancy Free Nursery, where Hidden Springs will pair beers with songs from a program that features Bay area composers Susanna Hancock, Tyler Kline, and Baljinder Sekhon working through their own music as well as some by more recognized names like Frederic Rzewski and Kaija Saariaho. Each piece on the program has been written with subjects of nature and the earth in mind, and you can expect a few flower pots and actual plants to be utilized in the program, too. It is Earth Day after all, you hippies. (Fancy Free Nursery, Tampa) INFO

Hideaway Cafe & Recording Studio — music is the mission at this Central Avenue hotspot
✔️ Hideaway Café 9-year Anniversary w/Rebekah Pulley & the Reluctant Prophets/Deserie & Jim/John Kelly Band/Kirk Adams Band/Ronny Elliott/Kasondra Rose The Hideaway Café is one of Tampa Bay’s most important listening rooms, and it’s doing what it’s always done on Sunday (hosting a mix of the local scenes established and up-and-coming songwriters) for the venue’s ninth anniversary celebration. Artists always need places where they can feel appreciated, and the friendly confines of Hideaway have always provided a place where that can happen. Cheers, and here’s to many more. (Hideaway Café, St. Petersburg) INFO
DFAC Garden Party w/Gloria West loria West is one of the most dynamic voices working in the Bay area, and she returns to headline this beloved Dunedin tradition — which makes sense, since the theme for DFAC's garden party is "Deja Vu." It's a hefty price tag, but your elbow-rubbing is going to help bring more arts education to north Pinellas kids and adults (Dunedin Fine Arts Center, Dunedin) INFO
✔️ Al Downing Jazz Jazz Noir Film noir scores like Ascenseur pour L’Échafaud, A Streetcar Named Desire, Laura, Touch of Evil, The Uninvited and more get the jazz treatment care of an ensemble featuring more than a dozen of the Bay area’s most talented musicians. If you enjoy the dark moods of Miles, Mancini, Elmer Bernstein and Krzysztof Komeda, then this one at Hough Hall is where you want to be. (Hough Hall at Palladium Theater, St. Petersburg) INFO
