Shawn Kyle is at pace with all sides of a music career that includes his storied rock band The Beauvilles, which dates all the way back to 2003.

In fact, the two decades since its inception, Kyle, who books music at Bayboro Brewing Co. and owns St. Pete’s Redwood Guitars, has reconnected with drummer and once Beauville’s bandmate Jesse Pullen along with guitarist Ash Dudney whose uncle Jason was a Beauvilles alum. Kyle’s also started kicking around old demos and recordings from the band, and even played a few “revival” shows with whoever’s been in town.

“This show will be different,” he told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay, adding that Pullen, keyboardist Jason Dudney, Ash Dudney, and John Barker on bass make up a new Beauville’s quintet.

“The world and American culture feels stratified the way it did when the band first formed, during the Bush Jr years. The band was originally based on an idea of music communicating more than just three chords, or controlled rock and roll chaos, but an overall feeling that translated to an audience on a level that had some sort of catharsis,” Kyle added.

“That means it’s time for another show.”

Triangulata, a new piano-led jazz-ish instrumental trio featuring Aaron Blakely, Brandon Carroll and Giorgio Castaldo makes its live debut in the opening slot.

There is no cover for The Beauvilles at Rock the Park, happening Thursday, Oct. 2 in Tampa.
