Off The Dome w/Acoupstix Freestyling is as part of hip-hop culture as anything else, and on Thursday Jon Ditty does his part to bring that spirit to the basement of Central Avenue eatery Iberian Rooster. There’ll be comedy and a set from Bay area band Acoupstix, but the heart of the evening is a freestyle that kicks off at 10 p.m. (SubCentral at Iberian Rooster, St. Petersburg) INFO

✔️ Magic Giant It’s safe to say that Californian boho-folk band Magic Giant has found a second home in Tampa Bay. This is the band’s second show here in a week and, we dunno, its umpteenth in the last year? The frequency isn’t a problem, however, since Magic Giant is that rare band that appeals to both baby-boomer hippies and their post-adolescent children.

Eddie Money w/Greg Billings We’re not sure where Eddie Money is going to play golf when he’s in Clearwater. What is certain, however, is a set from the 69-year-old songwriter whose blue-collar rock and raspy delivery (“Take Me Home Tonight,” Shakin’,” and “Think I’m in Love” are all bonafide classic-rock gems) has helped him sell close to 30 million records worldwide.
