Ol' Dirty Sundays w/DJ Sandman/DJ Casper/DJ Fader Less than two weeks after we caught up with the Tampa hip-hop scene stale in CL's annual Music Issue, DJ Sandman takes to the ones and twos at our favorite weekly for a set of old-school hip-hop, funk, soul and R&B that you might not get to hear when Sandman normally takes to the airwaves on Tampa Bay's 95.7 FM The Beat. Read our profile of Sandman here. (Crowbar, Ybor City) INFO

Iron Mike Norton LP release Rock, electronica, and backwoods country music come together when Mike Norton makes music, and the “king of swamp stomp” (who many have seen in a 2014 documentary, Devil In My Kitchen) will unleash a new album (Swamp Stomp) at this release show which happens just before Iron Mike’s short run through the midwest.

Music in the Marly Series w/Gene Knific Trio/Renata Knific Chicago pianist Gene Knific is bringing a new, Kickstarter-funded album of modern jazz, classical, chamber music and even indie (there’s a Sufjan Stevens song on there) to the MFA’s Music in the Marly series.
