Thousands of dollars of prize money are on the line for visual artists this weekend at Gasparilla Festival of the Arts (GFA), but organizers have also lined up two days of live music across two stages.

Headlined by Minnesota indie-pop duo Durry, GFA’s Saturday slate of music includes rock from Shevonne and the Force and Deaf Company, Kristopher James’ soulful pop, plus live dance and kids bands. Sunday’s lineup is more jam-oriented thanks to Ajeva, Light the Wire and kids from Chris Sgammato Music School.

All of it is emceed by perennial Best of the Bay-winning weatherman Denis Phillips.
