The forecast calls for a high of 72 degrees on Friday, which is perfect for this no-cover, three-day music festival that’s a follow up to “Heat Fest” last July.

Wyatt Norton—whose band Beach Terror will play bluesy, indie surf-rock on day two—has assembled nearly two dozen local bands to play the shindig.

Included in the lineup is rock band Liquid Pennies (playing Friday), which just released a new EP, A Wake-Ending, engineered at Tampa’s Candor Recording by Ruan Boesch (Melvins, Andrew W.K., Eels). The four-track effort is the best representation of the band’s sound, and bounces around beach-ready and at times mathy rock (“Discretion”), breakneck rock and roll (“Vestibules”) and more.

Winter Warmer music festival, happening Friday-Sunday, Feb. 2-4 at Cage Brewing in St. Petersburg is free to attend.
