Van Morrison Van Morrison’s only Florida shows are in Clearwater, and regular tickets sold out just hours after they went on sale. As of press time there were a few $650 seats available for the Wednesday and Thursday shows (the venue's online tickets are all gone, but there are some on StubHub starting at just under $400 — you can call Ruth Eckerd Hall's ticket office at (727) 791-7400 for up-to-the-minute availability).
Let’s face it though, us peons are gonna have to stick our ears to the lobby windows to try and get a taste. Kids reading this: he’s a living legend and one of music’s best songsmiths — start with Astral Weeks and go from there. (Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater) INFO
Boytoy Boytoy frontwoman Saara Untracht-Oakner does not remember the first time she heard The Eyes’ “When The Night Falls,” but we’re glad she did. Her Brooklyn-based band’s grunged out reinterpretation of the 1965 classic is a worthy update and the perfect intro to Boytoy’s thrashing, garage rock. Listen to their 2017 release, Putty, on Spotify. (The Bends, St. Petersburg) INFO
