Dead On A Sunday, which plays New World Brewery in Tampa, Florida on Feb. 2, 2024.

Dead on a Sunday, the musical project of Denverite Ross Ryan, who just wanted to sing in a rock band, was in no way intended to be a vocal tribute to Bob Belcher from “Bob’s Burgers.”

His latest single “Nightmare” is basically a lament centered around how he never really asked to be alive, and how he hopes that everything we have endured in the last few years has just been a bad dream.

As Ryan prepares to head overseas for a summer tour of Europe and the U.K., he plays four shows across the Sunshine State.

Tickets to see Dead On A Sunday play the music hall at New World Brewery (810 E Skagway Ave.) in Tampa on Friday, Feb. 2 run for $15 online and $20 at the door. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
