A wide-angle stage shot of the band Goose performing in a concert hall. In the foreground, lead guitarist Rick Mitarotonda, wearing a blue shirt and sunglasses, plays his signature hollow-body guitar. To his right, Peter Anspach plays a keyboard while a second guitarist and drummer are visible in the background. The stage is bathed in vibrant purple and blue light, with bright beams cutting through a light haze.

Tampa Bay’s live music weekend is here, and it’s got Bill Murray (and his Blood Brothers) and Goose (pictured) in it. Breakaway festival is also bringing lots of EDM to Raymond James, while Busch Gardens welcomes Flo Rida and others to its Food and Wine Festival. Also on the agenda: Chewy Hemphill’s concert complete with a wrestling match, Graham Nash’s two nights in Clearwater, Maren Morris, and more.
