Tampa Bay only gets one or two chances a year to witness longtime homegrown nylon-string guitarist Nate Najar play along a swinging ensemble that includes hollow body wizards Carl Amundson and Dominic Walker, plus bassist Joe Porter and drummer Jean Bolduc.

For this matinee, the virtuosic troupe works through the sounds of Thad Jones, Duke Ellington and Django Reinhardt.

Tickets to see Nate Najar’s Swing Guitars inside the Mainstage Theatre at Hillsborough Community College in Ybor City on Sunday, March 10 start at $15.
