✔️ Marc Rebillet w/Nate Verde/KC Gilmore/High 5ive/Tommy Rize/Winta Carmine’s has been dipping its toes into the live-music game lately, and this may be the show that makes a splash in Ybor’s saturated concert calendar. Online funny guy/producer/viral music star Marc Rebillet is actually pretty damn good at composition as far as we can tell (watch his YouTube videos, which have earned the spectacled synth-God the nickname “loop daddy”), and the popularity of his latest anthem — “Fuck Donald Trump” — should go a long way in driving people to the venue’s new patio stage for this Sunday-night throwdown where a handful of local producers will open the show. (Carmine’s, Ybor City) INFO
Slightly Off Label Showcase Who says you can’t untz-untz-untz at Green Bench Brewing? Certainly not Slightly Off, the record label of producer Luigi Seija, who is bringing his set — along with those of Santino Bontempo, Jesse Scotto and Greg Webb — to Baum Avenue, where they’ll all spin underground house, techno and electro in the beer garden for a Sunday-night show that is 100 percent free to attend. (Green Bench Brewing Co., St. Petersburg) INFO
Ol’ Dirty Sundays w/DJ Mad Linx If your style is less house music and more hip-hop (plus soul, R&B, funk and reggae), then you’ll want to be at Crowbar’s long-running, perennially poppin’ Ol’ Dirty Sundays party, where one of Tampa’s native sons (DJ Mad Linx, who now reps for Miami after stints on BET’s Rap City) takes to the ones and twos between sets from Ol’ Dirty residents Casper and Fader. Never a cover for this come-as-you-are affair. (Crowbar, Ybor City) INFO
Blind Tiger w/Direct Action/Lipschitz/Sentries Vegan hardcore music is a thing, and Tampa’s own Direct Action will be playing it at this tattoo shop gig alongside super-heavy St. Petersburg trio Sentries, Pinellas punk outfit Lipshitz and Panama City posthardcore band Blind Tiger, which arrives to play songs from its 2017 album, Lock the Gate. All ages, and it’s $8 to get in the door. (Lucky You Tattoo, St. Petersburg) INFO
Kenny Grube Benefit Show w/Cottondale Swamp/Sara Rose Band/Ricky Wilcox and the Moonsnakes/The Cadillac Cowboys/The Hummingbirds The Bay area Americana and country scene steps up to help one of its own at this benefit show where proceeds will help Cottondale Swamp frontman Kenny Grube recoup after having to drop buku dollars on medical expenses related to his recent heart attack. (Skipper’s Smokehouse, Tampa) INFO
Petula Clark After playing two 2017 shows at Largo’s Central Park Performing Arts Center, Grammy-winning British soprano and actress Petula Clark (“I Know A Place,” “Downtown”) makes her debut at Clearwater’s Capitol Theatre. This is a throwback to the ‘50s, so pay your respects, kids. (Capitol Theatre, Clearwater) INFO
Livingston Taylor His most famous sibling gets most of the shine, but Livingston Taylor has enjoyed a 51-year career of his own. Some might even argue that Liv (who is just three years younger than his brother James Taylor) is a better musician. Watch the Berklee College of Music professor work through a range of musical genres including folk, pop, gospel and jazz at this one inside Ruth Eckerd Hall’s intimate side room. (Murray Theatre at Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater) INFO
Young Nudy w/Sahbabii A 2016 mixtape, Slimeball, made Young Nudy a favorite among post-pubescent hip-hop heads, and all that popularity has earned one of 21 Savage’s cousins a headlining slot at Orpheum where conversational, cheeky and autobiographical songs like “Judge Scott Convicted” and “Nun Like This” will play nice alongside cuts from Mr. Nudy’s 2017 follow-up mixtape (cleverly titled Slimeball 2) and its little brother Nudy Land. Fellow Atlanta rapper SahBabii (“Pull Up Wit Ah Stick”) opens the show. (Orpheum, Ybor City) INFO
