The Florida Orchestra: Pops in the Park Shysters all twisted up because they can’t get into the Florida Orchestra’s kiddy concert on May 9 can rest easy knowing that they have an opportunity to see some of the same music performed on the waterfront at this free concert where selections by Brahms (plus music from Star Wars, Superman and Beauty and the Beast) will be followed by a fireworks display. Get there early to save your spot and make sure you bring canned goods for Tampa Bay Harvest’s food drive. (Curtis Hixon Park, Tampa) INFO
Gullwing w/Veird/Infinite Third We can’t think of very many better ways to spend a Sunday evening than sipping on some Dunedin Brewery suds and taking in a free show from Bay area post rock quintet Gullwing, who just released a brutally beautiful self-titled LP last month. Dunedin disaster rock guys Veird (celebrating their own The First 100 Days release) and Billy Mays III’s Infinite Third project open the show. (Dunedin Brewery, Dunedin) INFO
Saliva They’re far-removed from the rap-rock sound of their heydey, but can a new album — Love, Lies & Therapy (released last year) — pack the State Theatre where Saliva play a headlining set tonight? The recent departure of longtime bassist Dave Novotny opened the door for a new member, former Shinedown and Fuel bassist, Brad Stewart, so we’ll see how it goes it this show.
