✔️ = Critic's Pick
✔️ The Nude Party w/Glove/FayRoy The last time the Bay area got a peek at The Nude Party may have been during an October 2016 gig at The Bends. The Boone, North Carolina band of wildmen is fresh off some SXSW shows this time around and ready to share a high-energy, psychedelic and garage-rocking sound with Bay area fans who’ll also learn to love two more ridiculously fun local acts — Glove and FayRoy — at this you-better-make-it-out-on-a-Monday kind of show. Keep your clothes on until after the Uber drops you off at someone’s house. (Crowbar, Ybor City) INFO

✔️ Monday Night Jazz Series w/Steve Allee Steve Alle’s big band CD, Downtown Blues, was nominated for a Grammy after its 2001 release, and on Monday the composer will perform some of those big band works with the USF Jazz Ensemble. Small group pieces will also be pulled off with help from the same ensemble at this show which is yet another installment of the Tampa Jazz Club’s Monday Night performance series.

Steinway Piano Series: Beethoven’s Late Piano Sonatas w/Seyoung Park/Ghadeer Abeido/Allyson West/Lirui Xiong Jazz piano fans headed to USF for the Monday-night show could switch gears and go classical on Tuesday, when some of Beethoven’s piano sonatas get to be center stage. There are some burdensome passages and odd variations in some of these pieces, but it should all sound quite beautiful at Barness Recital Hall during this free-to-attend concert.
