✔️ Jon Snodgrass w/Cory Branan/Have Gun, Will Travel At this point Jon Snodgrass and Cory Branan are pretty much long-long brothers from other mothers, both born with a guitar in hand after incubating inside of a womb while the outside world blared murderous, twangy rock and roll, punk, and folk at full volume. The songwriters — Snodgrass famous for his contributions to Colorado alt-country band Drag the RIver, and Branan for his good looks plus sharp songwriting that’s earned him a nice bit of crossover-mainstream recognition — are no strangers to the area, and they’ll bring a co-headlining tour to Crowbar for a pre-Thanksgiving show featuring individual sets and the inevitable co-op performance, too. Also on Wednesday is Ol' Dirty Sunday's annual drunken turkey fry. Details on that here. (Crowbar, Ybor City) INFO
✔️ Block Party For Hurricane Relief w/Resinated/Sun-Dried Vibes/NoNeed/Sowflo/Badda Skat Before you stuff your face, stuff the coffers with donations at this free show where 100 percent of the proceeds go toward hurricane relief (because, you know, people still suffer after the news cameras leave). St. Pete reggae-rockers headline this show where Badda Skat will handle the ones and twos with a DJ set. (Jannus Live, St. Petersburg) INFO
Dallas Bull 38 Years Celebration There isn’t really a band set to go on stage for Dallas Bull’s anniversary party, but it’s pretty notable that the line-dancing stronghold has been around for nearly four decades. We might not always agree with the politics of some of the acts they book (Staind douche-crooner Aaron Lewis’ weird Regan obsession is revolting), but being able to consistently host some of pop country’s biggest names before they get big means the joint is a must-keep gem in Tampa Bay’s concert scene. Plus, they’re taking donations to help the needy eat a holiday meal at this party. (Dallas Bull, Tampa) INFO

✔️ Stuffed: Can Someone Pass The Beats w/Nitti Gritti/Vincent/Captain/DVNK SINATRV/Evaluation B2B Belles/ OB7/Playtime/Too Kind Yes, you can do molly and help Metropolitan Ministries at the same time. We’re kidding about the MDMA. The philanthropic part is no joke though, and promoters of this EDM show headlined by Nitti Gritti and Canadian producer Vincent will give you $1 off the cover for every canned good you bring to the door (maximum $15 off). Who knew that wubbin’ around could do some good in the world. (Orpheum, Ybor City) INFO
