Tampa Bay’s live music weekend is back, and Creative Loafing Tampa Bay is playing around with its “Music Week” listing lately. Partly as a function of staffing and also to find out what readers respond to best.

Please let us know how you like to get your live music listings each week, so we can adapt our coverage of the weekly concert calendar in accordance with our mission to highlight homegrown talent while also making readers aware of the biggest shows coming to the Tampa Bay area each week.

Tampa's Florist stands in front of a giant, gnarled oak tree with sprawling branches and exposed roots, basking in the warm glow of the sun. The man on the left, with a full beard, wears a dark plaid shirt and black pants. The frontman, in the center, has tattooed arms, a thick beard, and a goatee. He sports a black tank top with a skull graphic and a heavy chain necklace. To his right, a man with a full beard and glasses stands with his hands in his pockets, dressed in a black long-sleeved shirt and black pants. The final man, on the far right, has long gray hair and a beard, and he leans on a branch of the tree, wearing a dark brown jacket over a black shirt and maroon pants.
