✔️Clearwater Jazz Holiday w/JJ Grey & Mofro/The Devil Makes Three/Karl Denson's Tiny Universe/Marcus Miller/more The final day of the Clearwater Jazz Holiday ends with a headlining performance by North Florida roots-rock favorite, JJ Grey and Mofro, which will take the stage after an energetic performance from Southern California Americana outfit The Devil Makes Three, the horn-driven spectacle of Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, and jazz guitarist/composer Marcus Miller. (Coachman Park, Clearwater) INFO
INTERVIEW
JJ Grey talks new Mofro music, more before Clearwater Jazz Holiday
Torche w/Horsewhip/Leviathan Cross Don’t call it an unofficial Pre-Fest show, but here’s one for Torche fans who don’t care to see the Miami hard-rock band play alongside pop-punk bands in Gainesville. A new album featuring founding bassist Jonathan Nuñez on guitar is due next year, and this is a good chance to see how Torche has adjusted since guitarist and vocalist Andrew Elstner left the band two years ago.

Bands & BBQ Fundraiser for Kimberly Overman w/Greymarket/Navin Ave./John Nowicki You’re kind of an asshole to think that music and politics shouldn’t mix (and, yeah, we’re assholes for thinking that). Don’t bring more than $1,000 (that’s the max donation), and bring at least $15 (that’s the minimum) as a trio of Bay area rock, Americana and folk acts throw their weight behind Kimberly Overman who is running for Hillsborough County Commissioner in District 7. Yes, there’ll be food. (Crowbar, Ybor City) INFO
Lary Over Latin trap rapper Lary Over broke out in 2016 when he collaborated with Puerto Rican reggaeton star Farruko on “Booty Call,” and on Sunday he brings some of his own hits (“Snap Chat,” “Perdóname” and “Subete”) to the Ritz for what we expect to be a nearly sold-out show. (The Ritz, Ybor City) INFO
✔️ François K w/Austen van der Bleek/Brad Ashwell/Boomerang François Kevorkian’s influence on dance and disco music is almost immeasurable, and it all started when he began producing for essential disco label Prelude during the late ‘70s before working on scores of remixes and productions for legions of pop bands during the following decade. On Sunday he helps Open House Conspiracy celebrate its seven-year anniversary by headlining this sunset rooftop party. (Station House, St. Petersburg) INFO
