Jim Lauderdale, who plays Bayboro Brewing Co. in St. Petersburg, Florida on March 20, 2024.

Six months removed from the release of his album with the Po’ Ramblin’ Boys, Jim Lauderdale lands in Bayboro Brewing Co.'s music hall, an emergent St. Petersburg venue with a reputation for having some of the best sound in the Bay area.

Expect the 66-year-old songwriter who laid the groundwork for the bluegrass-Americana crossover to play a few selections from The Long And Lonesome Letting Go (on which he co-wrote all 12 songs), but also dip into a more than 30-piece discography that stretches all the way back to the mid-’80s.

Tickets to see Jim Lauderdale play St. Petersburg’s Bayboro Brewing on Wednesday, March 20 are still available and start at $20.
