✔️ John McLaughlin w/Jimmy Herring Pioneering jazz group Mahavishnu Orchestra is a criminally overlooked fusion outfit presided over by John McLaughlin, who’ll revisit the New York band’s legacy on a tour where he’s joined by Aquarium Rescue Unit (and Widespread Panic lead guitarist) Jimmy Herring. If you’ve ever wondered what Miles Davis meeting Allman Brothers and the Derek Trucks Band would sound like, then you might want to be in Clearwater on Saturday. Read our chat with McLaughlin here.

DJ Cub You won’t find kids at Hampton Station anymore (the popular Seminole Heights eatery and bar banned ‘em after a few parents couldn’t be responsible enough to keep their cute little hellions under control). On Saturday, you won’t find Spotify or MP3s playing on the speakers either, as neighborhood designer and tastemaker DJ Cub stages an all-vinyl getdown at the pizza, wing and craft beer joint.

Loose Talk w/NineHorn/Beerwolf/Johnny Mile and the Kilometers Tampa metal band Beerwolf put out one of the year’s most enjoyable releases (Planetfall), and on Friday it helps Crowbar shake off the tryptophan for this post-Thanksgiving show alongside more rock and rollers like the big-balled boys of Ninehorn, St. Pete’s Johnny Mile & the Kilometers and Loose Talk, which features Christian McAlhaney and Deon Rexroat of disbanded Winter Haven rockers gone global Anberlin.

Alter Bridge w/Sons of Texas/All That Remains If you long for the golden days of Creed where Scott Stapp sings on top of mountains while guitarist Mark Tremonti rips solos in lush green hills, then you could do worse than show up at Jannus on Saturday when Tremonti, 43, and former Slash vocalist Myles Kennedy bring Alter Bridge’s latest (The Last Hero, released in 2016) to St. Pete. The album is leaps ahead of anything Creed ever did, so there’s that. (Jannus Live, St. Petersburg) INFO
