✔️= Critic's Pick
✔️ Fleetwood Mac We’re willing to bet that even Lindsey Buckingham’s ex-bandmates were worried about the former Fleetwood Mac guitarist’s recent heart surgery (which also caused vocal cord injury). The 69-year-old was unceremoniously 86’ed from Fleetwood Mac’s lineup last spring, but replaced by Mike Campbell, the former guitarist of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, plus Crowded House frontman Neil Finn. Buckingham obviously won’t be at this Tampa show, but Mick Fleetwood assures fans that all will be just fine. “Fleetwood Mac has always been about an amazing collection of songs that are performed with a unique blend of talents,” Fleetwood said in a statement announcing this tour. “We jammed with Mike and Neil and the chemistry really worked and let the band realize that this is the right combination to go forward with in Fleetwood Mac style. We know we have something new, yet it’s got the unmistakable Mac sound.” (Amalie Arena, Tampa) INFO
Brook Pridemore w/Yankee Røses/Flux Hymns/Community Couch Big Apple-based anti-folk troubadour Pridemore has a new album (2018’s Metal is My Only Friend) to support, and we’re excited to see how the effort — which he mostly recorded himself — comes to life when he brings its big distorted guitars (“Who’s Gonna Build My Deathray?”), absurdist lyrics (“Cupcake Empire”) and hilariously dark themes (“I Will Drink Your Blood”) to an all ages show at Lucky You Tattoo. (Lucky You Tattoo, St. Petersburg) INFO
