Boomers aren’t the only demographic clamoring for cover bands. The hard-rock and hardcore scene apparently gets in on the action this Friday, with Elevated Booking’s seven-band Toys For Tots benefit where the music of Nirvana, Alkaline Trio, Deftones, and Minor Threat is just part of the agenda.

Bring a new, unwrapped toy for the kiddos. And if you can’t get over to Tampa on Saturday, Row Jomah has its seventh annual holiday toy drive concert happening in Dunedin at the same time.

Tickets to the Cover Show happening at Deviant Libation in Tampa on Saturday, Dec. 14 at Deviant Libation are $10.

There’s no cover to see Row Jomah play Dunedin Brewery in Dunedin on Saturday, Dec. 14.
