The four members of the band Cozy In The Black pose in a dimly lit room with walls covered in white graffiti and stickers. The central figure wears a large faux-fur trapper hat, a lace-trimmed skirt, and tall brown boots; the other three members stand behind them wearing eclectic headwear, including a red and white knit cap and a black beanie. — Cozy In the Black Credit: cozyintheblack / Facebook

Almost one year after nearly 1,300 listeners helped shatter a single-day fundraising record for the organization, WMNF is not resting on its laurels.

The nearly 47-year-old community radio station has long been a bastion for free speech and is now one of the last places to hear hand-picked, often homegrown, music on the radio.

WMNF gets some help passing the hat at this second “Save Our Soundwaves” concert featuring out-of-the-box art-punk by Lobster’s Gyro Shack, more straight ahead rock sounds from Liquid Pennies and Cozy in the Black, plus the refined art-pop of Sorry Barb.

Tickets for Save Our Soundwaves 2 at Crowbar in Ybor City on Thursday, March 19 are still available for $12 and up.

Pitch in to help make the Tampa Bay Journalism Project a success.
