Photos: WMNF’s Tropical Heatwave returns to Ybor City after seven years away

After seven years away, Tropical Heatwave returned to Ybor City, reigniting a 35-year live music tradition spearheaded by community radio station WMNF Tampa 88.5-FM. Like its first iterations, Heatwave took over multiple stages inside and around the historic district’s Cuban Club where bands like Shemekia Copeland, Seratones, Tampa's own Glove (playing as a trio after the March departure of keyboardist Michelle Primiani), and Synergy In A Cup entertained crowds.
