✔️ A Tribute to The Last Waltz w/Have Gun, Will Travel and Friends In 2015, promoter Sean O’Brien — along with Bay area Americana heroes Have Gun, Will Travel and what felt like a dozen of the band’s closest friends — staged a local recreation of Martin Scorsese’s iconic concert film documenting The Band’s all-star farewell concert at the Winterland Auditorium in San Francisco. Held in conjunction with Bill Graham and the Rock & Roll Revolution — an exhibition on display through February 10, 2019 at The Florida Holocaust Museum — this encore performance will recreate HGWT’s recreation in a bigger room (Palladium’s Hough Hall instead of Crowbar in Ybor City) with many of the same players paying homage to greats like Clapton, Neil Diamond, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and the many more who graced the Winterland stage over four decades ago.

Animal Person EP Release Show w/Stages & Stereos/Wilder Sons/Bendy Straw/Fr33dback Old-ish heads who remember Tampa’s Select Start, Weather or Altru will be happy to see some members of those bands back at it under the Animal Person moniker and celebrating the release of a new three-song EP of anthemic, crunchy pop tunes at this show. Tallahassee third-wave emo band Stages and Stereos plays support alongside Naples alt-rock quartet Wilder Sons. (Crowbar, Ybor City) INFO
✔️ Horsewhip LP Release w/Yashira/Reality Asylum/Sentries Heavy, extreme music. For some it’s a badge of honor. For others, it’s pure catharsis. This entire bill is pretty much an exercise in exorcising what ails you inside, and you can read more about that by turning to p. 55 and reading our interview with Tampa hardcore band Horsewhip, which headlines this show in support of its self-titled debut album released a few weeks ago.

Spit w/Burn to Learn/Guttermuff The Legion in Seminole Heights is booked, so a new generation of powerviolence bands is in action a few miles away in South Tampa. Orlando grindcore band Burn to Learn will collect gas money after Guttermuff plays its first show ever and before Tampa’s own Spit closes it all out. (VFW 424, Tampa) INFO
WAHH World Fusion Band WAHH World Fusion Band is fresh off the road and ready to put the gigs to rest for the year. The Tampa-based collective will stage its last show of 2018 — and celebrate the birthday of one of its members, Shankh Lahiri, at this show underneath the Skipperdome, where Los Angeles sitar maestro Rajib Karmakar will sit in.
