One of Tampa’s GOAT frontmen, Ernie Locke, is back in town playing with one of Tampa’s GOAT bands Nervous Turkey. Locke, who now lives in Kansas City, and the swampy-blues band are playing two shows in Tampa Bay, plus one in Orlando.
If you’ve never seen a show from the harmonica-playing growling musician, here’s your chances. The mini-tour starts Sunday at Hooch and Hive with Lauris Vidal opening. Locke then returns to his old stomping ground, Ella’s Americana Folk Art Cafe, for a Turkey Day Eve party that includes a free show from the Best of the Bay-winning band and turkey bowling (literally what it sounds like—bowling outside with big frozen turkeys, pins, prizes, and all).
I can’t wait to tell him in person, but Ernie Locke we’ve missed you!
