Hell and highwater arrived in Tampa Bay last weekend, effectively wiping out the live music calendar. It’s coming back to life this week with plenty of shows also functioning as supply and fund drives for local relief efforts.
This listing of the best live music coming to Tampa Bay between Oct. 3-10 was compiled by Creative Loafing Tampa Bay staffers and contributors, then supplemented with select gigs from CL’s user-submitted Tampa Bay concert calendar.
