Convince your parents to come to this show by telling them that Shakedown guitarist Graham Whitford is the offspring of Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford. When they get to the Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown show at St. Pete's Floridian Social Club on Thursday, Nov. 3, they’ll be impressed by Bryant’s brand of straight ahead rock and roll and then buy a copy of his new album Shake The Roots, which marks a return to the independent, DIY beginnings of the Tennessee band.
After that, tell them all about Sick Hot, one of the Bay area’s most promising acts and show opener, which is also calling it quits after this show. Bring it all home by explaining that Speak Easy, a monster of a soft-rock act, isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
