Florida Orchestra Coffee Concerts: Best of Ballet The question about these morning-ish 11 a.m. coffee concerts by the Florida Orchestra is whether or not you read today's issue of CL early enough to make it there. You've already figured that out though because you are reading this on the web. Do us a favor and bookmark cltampa.com/music or follow us on Twitter. Maybe we'll see you at Mahaffey where TFO is working through selections by Tchaikovsky ("The Nutcracker"), Khachaturian ("Spartacus"), Delibes ("Coppelia") and Copland ("Rodeo") (Mahaffey Theater, St. Petersburg) INFO
Spy On The Land She's got a new EP, Light Salt Verse, is on the way, but in the meantime fans will have to settle for live performances where Guianna melds poetry and silky vocals on top of stripped back acoustic guitar arrangements. Spy on the Land finds her backed by a band, so expect a little thump and extra rhythm at this one. (Dunedin Brewery, Dunedin) INFO
Nate Najar’s Jazz Holiday w/Molly Ryan/Dan Levinson Nate Najar is one of the Bay area's most celebrated guitarists, and while you can still see him play tiny venues (Tampa's Indie and Ella's come to mind), Najar still pulls off elegant stage shows like this one where he'll be joined by vocalist Molly Ryan and reedman Dan Levinson. James Suggs will handle trumpet and Mark Feinman is on bass. (Palladium Theater, St. Petersburg) INFO
