This is really it. For a decade-and-a-half now, Kerry Courtney’s been a highlight of the Bay area indie-rock scene, but months after reuniting his band Goodnight, Neverland, the 33-year-old with a golden vocal is leaving for the west coast in less than a week.

“If I’ve made a positive impact on you in this scene as a songwriter or as a person in some way, I would love to see you at my farewell show,” Courtney wrote on social media, “I wanna say bye and hug you all.”

Tickets to see Kerry Courtney play Bayboro Brewing in St. Petersburg on Friday, Feb. 9 are still available for $10.
