Anyone jonesing to see the best young artists Tampa Bay has churned out as of late has a tough decision to make on Saturday.

Nashville’s Leon Majcen is back home for one of Hooch and Hive’s last concerts ever, but so is Graham Bhuyan, a now Los Angeles-based guitarist, producer and filmmaker who makes up one half of The Fuss, a genre-bending rock duo which released a devastating and soulful single, “Fortune Teller,” to kick off the year.

The band closes out 2024 at Far Forest, one of the Bay area’s most intimate venues, alongside its ridiculously-talented friends including also-expatriated songwriter Liam Bauman and still-locally-based April Showers, who channels Lucy Pearl, Frank Ocean and Tracy Chapman on a November single, “What If.”

Tickets to see The Fuss play Far Forest in Tampa on Saturday, Dec. 21 are still available and start at $15.
