It’s been a few years, but The Stone City—a Tampa-based blues-rock-soul outfit—finally has an update about what’s next. The band’s latest single “I’ll Never Stop Loving You” sounds like a ‘70s arena-rock love song, and the group promises to both get back into the live music game this year, and release more material.

The Stone City’s official return to the stage for the first time since 2020 finally happens this weekend, with another semi-newly reunited band, legendary local power-pop outfit Barely Pink, opening.

Tickets to see The Stone City play St. Petersburg’s Bayboro Brewing Co. on Friday, April 12 are still available and start at $8.
