The largest Pride parade in the Southeastern United States returned to downtown St. Petersburg last Saturday, attracting what organizers said was more than 300,000 people all ready to celebrate the vibrant LGBTQ+ community—and battle temps that hit 90 degrees. Festivities kicked off with a trans march and even included churches and clergy from around the Bay area including Pastor Andy Oliver or St. Petersburg’s Allendale United Methodist Church whose congregation marched alongside an inflatable Jesus dressed in drag, and Pinellas Park’s King of Peace MCC, which told partygoers “God thinks you’re fabulous.” See all the photos and read more via cltampa.com/slideshows.—Ray Roa

Tampa Bay's best things to do from June 27 - July 03
Glory hole gobblers
In 1947’s “Querelle of Brest,” French author Jean Genet spins one hell of a tale about a bisexual sailor, prostitute and serial killer who loves power more than anything else. Thirty-fi ve years after the book was published, arthouse cinema hero Rainer Werner Fassbinder immortalized it in film with an Englishlanguage film that ended up being his last movie. Late French actress Jeanne Moreau is surrounded by dudes as far as the cast goes (including hunky Brad Davis and Franco Nero), and “Querelle” became one of the first gay films to sell more than 100,000 tickets in its first three weeks of release. Lauded for the saturation of color, towers of cock and what Hyperreal Film Club described as characters like “sex-soaked degenerate gamblers, bawdy graffi ti scrawlers, and glory hole gobblers,” the 106-minute film is an LGBTQ classic and screening just once in Ybor City this weekend.
‘Querelle’: Friday, June 28. 7 p.m. $8. Screendoor Microcinema, 1624 E 7th Ave no. 228, Ybor City. ybormicrocinema.org—Ray Roa
Red, white and Bert
Tampa Jesuit graduate Bert Kreischer is pretty damn famous these days. He recently appeared on Netflix’s “Roast of Tom Brady,” and on July 3 kicks off a multi-night taping for the streaming giant in St. Petersburg. The 51-year-old who inspired the movie “Van Wilder” will be in town on seven nights (including two double headers next Friday-Saturday, July 5-6) at the Sunshine City’s historic Mahaffey Theater. In a statement, Bill Edwards, CEO of Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts and Big3 Entertainment, said he was thrilled to bring the comedian, podcaster and author to his room, adding that, “After considering all the theaters in the area, the Mahaffey was selected to be the venue for this incredible series of shows.” Kreischer—pictured, far right, as Grand Marshall of Gasparilla 2024— shares the love, adding, “I am so proud to call Tampa Bay my hometown, proud that you treat me like family when I come back.” The venue just released seats in the orchestra section, too.
Bert Kreischer: July 3, 5, 6, 7. 7 p.m. $83.25 & up. Duke Energy Center for the Arts at Mahaffey Theater, 400 First St. S, St. Petersburg. themahaffey. com—Ray Roa
Land that I love
The year 1776—when the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence—has taken on new meaning in recent years thanks to alt-right crybabies whose buttholes pucker up at the letters C-R-T. That’s why it’s nice to see folks spending a night thinking about 1964. On June 2 of that year, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, which made employment discrimination illegal, integrated schools and other public facilities, and prohibited discrimination in public places on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. The legislation is widely-regarded as the most sweeping civil rights legislation since Reconstruction, and for this talk, moderator and WTSP reporter Emerald Morrow (pictured) is joined by authors Bill Maxwell and Beverly Coyle—among the last generation of Floridians to graduate from segregated schools—plus Ray Arsenault, a scholar of Southern history. Allendale church hosts, and Tombolo Books will have copies of “Once Upon a Time in Florida Stories of Life in the Land of Promises”—one of 2023’s best books, and one that includes stories from Maxwell and Coyle—for sale. And while the program is co-sponsored by Florida Humanities, snowflakes will be happy to see the group covering its ass by issuing the disclaimer that “Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed at this conference do not necessarily represent those of Florida Humanities or the National Endowment for the Humanities.”

Break in the Law
People do different things for their birthday: Cake, a nice dinner, some drinks, maybe a party. Law Smith is filming a comedy special. Finally. “Been 14 years (in comedy) without any asset to show for it. I turn 40 on June 25, and it gives me something on the calendar to either nut up or shut up,” Smith told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay. Smith won’t be shutting over two nights when he’ll be taping his first special that might end up being called “Sunny State for Shady People.” Or maybe not. Smith hasn’t finalized the title yet. But the main topic is all set: Florida, and Tampa specifically The Florida native has been ramping up his sets to prepare for filming, with the expectation that he’ll finally put Florida in a positive light. Opening will be comedian (and previous Best of the Bay winner) Matt Fernandez. Smith’s “Sweat Equity” podcast co-host, Eric Readinger, will handle directing duties, and he’s filming in Ybor City.

Crackin’ up
St. Pete’s big Pride parade may have wrapped last weekend (see photos on p. 8), but the forecast still calls for rainbows everywhere, and a luxurious hotel in downtown Tampa has plans for a big, gay rooftop brunch. Leading the festivities will be “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 10 alum Miz Cracker. The 40-year-old calls Bob the Drag Queen his drag mother, has collected awards for her journalism, and made people crack up on 47 episodes of the comedy podcast “She’s A Woman!” A welcome spritz and Azure’s Greekstyle brunch noms await.

Blowin’ up
There’s a big ol’ list of Fourth of July celebrations available via cltampa.com, but one of the biggest happens in downtown St. Petersburg where fireworks will be visible from the entire waterfront. Across the Bay, Tampa goes even harder with the city’s original hot dog eating competition in Ybor City (read more in Music Week on p. 37), and the return of the city’s Boom By the Bay fireworks show at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park (complete with an apple pie throwdown). Tampa’s entire riverwalk will be activated, too, from Heights District Fourth of July Celebration at Armature Works on the north end, and Star Spangled Sparkman (complete with water ski show) on the southern tip of the 2.6-mile span. That's fireworks from three different locations in downtown Tampa alone, if you're keeping score.

Reasons We Lack Flexibility
• Inactivity reduces flexibility.
• Repetitive muscle overuse in sports like tennis, golf, and running also decreases flexibility.
• Accidents, injuries, or surgery can lead to loss of mobility.
Why Stretching?
• Stretching helps to enhance mobility and range of motion, speed up recovery, and improve posture and circulation.
• Top athletes regularly incorporate stretching into their lives.
• Stretching improves your general wellbeing.

Tampa’s director of housing and community development is resigning.
By Ray Roa
Another tireless advocate for responsible housing in the City of Tampa has plans to move on. In a letter received as part of a public records request by Creative Loafing Tampa Bay last Tuesday, Kayon Henderson told Nicole Travis that Aug. 23 would be her last day serving as the City of Tampa’s Director of Housing and Community Development.
Henderson has managed and directed housing and community development since March 2013, and was promoted to director of housing in May 2023, according to LinkedIn.
The resignation marks another significant departure under Mayor Jane Castor who still has about three years left in her term.
Travis, Henderson’s supervisor, is Tampa’s Head of Development and Economic Opportunity, and shared her own intentions to resign in April. Erica Moody, director of the city’s community redevelopment agency, is also leaving along with Alis Drumgo, Tampa’s deputy administrator for development and economic opportunity.
mitigate COVID-19 effects on affordable housing, assist with the mayor’s Hispanic Advisory Council, the rental and move-in assistance program, and housing information line. In May, she worked with Tampa City Council to get $750,000 to help fund the construction of an 88-unit affordable housing complex called Madison Highlands II.
Housing and economic opportunity is not the only department that’s been shaken up. Last summer, the City of Tampa’s mobility department saw the contentious firing of Transportation Engineering Manager Danni Jorgenson.
LOCAL NEWS
“I want you to know that this was not an easy decision, as the past eleven plus years have been extremely challenging and rewarding for me, both personally and professionally,” Henderson wrote in her resignation letter dated June 17, adding her overwhelming gratitude. “... I am proud of what we as an organization have accomplished over the past eleven years.”
In a statement sent to CL via Tampa comms czar Adam Smith, Henderson wrote, “I appreciate the trust and support I received from the mayor and city council that helped us accomplish so much.”
“Kayon is a tremendous public servant who worked tirelessly to address our affordable housing challenges and made a real difference to thousands of Tampa residents in need. I am so grateful for her service and her positive impact,” Mayor Castor added.
While Travis has plans to start her own Tampa-based consulting firm, it’s unclear what her next step is.
Meanwhile, the mayor has recently come under fire for being nowhere near her promise of 10,000 affordable homes.
What’s more is that like last year, a Tampa renter, renting the average rental unit, still has to make nearly $85,000 to avoid being rent burdened, according to May 2024 data from Florida Atlantic University’s interactive rental index . Only three other metros in Florida—Miami, North Port and Cape Coral—have higher thresholds for being rent-burdened, according to the index.
In her time with the city, Henderson worked to launch Tampa’s rental rehabilitation program to
As previously reported, Jorgenson, hired in 2018 in part because of her significant background and experience, was fired by Mobility Administrator Jean Duncan and Mobility Director Vik Bhide on June 2, 2023 according to her personnel file. No cause was given, but Jorgenson’s performance evaluation completed in January 2023 saw Bhide give her “outstanding” marks across 11 out of 11 criteria, and heap praise on her leadership skills, problem solving and more.
Chief Transportation Planner Alana Brasier sent her own resignation letter two weeks after Jorgenson—who filed for wrongful termination— was fired.
Another woman, Brandie Miklus, the primary communications staffer at the City of Tampa, also resigned in the wake of Jorgenson’s firing.

Good grief
St.
Pete restaurant gets cease-and-desist over ‘Restaurant Week’ special.
By Ray Roa and Colin Wolf
Tampa Bay Restaurant Week wrapped last weekend, and a lot of people took notice. Hell, one special made its voice heard all the way Down Under.
St. Petersburg vegan favorite Good Intentions’ Restaurant Week offered is a threecourse, $59.99, plant-based special that included a decadent Juicy Marbles filet (complete with a loaded baked potato and pan-seared asparagus), salad, bread and butter. It also came with a “Blooming onion”—until earlier last week.
The intermezzo, if you will, ended up being referred to as an “Onion Blossom” after Bloomin’ Brands—the parent company of Outback Steakhouse—sent a cease-and-desist letter to Good Intentions.
“Your use of the term ‘Blooming Onion’ is in direct violation of the Company’s trademark rights, as it is confusingly similar in sight or sound with a registered mark, simply adding one letter. It has been widely held that
similarity in sight of sound with a registered mark for a similar product constitutes trademark infringement.,” the letter reads.
Outback’s parent company also said that the “use of the mountain range horizon logo with the words ‘Good Intentions’ is also in direct violation of the Company’s trademark rights.”
Good Intentions—located at 1900 1st Ave. S in St. Pete—took the notice in stride.
“Wallaby darned! Our Restaurant Week special is so good and just right, the people right out-back took notice! Come and get it before it ceases and desists,” the restaurant wrote on social media.
The good time, and great meal, could not be roo-ined in the comment section either.
One commenter said of the trademark infringement onion, “I thought there were no rules, just right?,” alluding to Outback Steakhouse’s slogan. Another hoped it would be renamed the “Bussin’ Onion.”
Still, the special remained and was one of more than 60 offerings during Tampa Bay Restaurant Week where local restaurants team up with Creative Loafing Tampa Bay to bring new customers into the doors.
Popular Tampa Mexican spot Green Lemon will open new St. Pete location
A beloved Tampa modern Mexican institution Green Lemon is looking to tacover the Bay. The Ciccio Restaurant Group (CRG) told St. Pete Rising that Green Lemon will open a new St. Pete location at 4400 4th St. N in the former home of Baytenders Oyster Bar & Steamers.
While no exact opening date was given, the new 150-seat, 2,580-square-foot space space hopes to debut by this fall, according to the blog.
CRG, which owns other South Tampa concepts like Fresh Kitchen and Daily Eats along with the fitness studio Camp (stylized “CAMP”), also told the blog that the menu will have about “80 to 90 percent of the same items,” as the Tampa spot.
The South Tampa modern-Mex eatery is known for everything from well-portioned burritos, to fajitas, street tacos, quesadillas, as well as craft cocktails and margaritas.
Florida’s first drive-thru Wawa just opened in Largo, and it’s still for sale
There’s no gas, but you can still top off the tank with breakfast Sizzlies.
Last Thursday, Florida’s first Wawa drive-thru restaurant debuted in Largo, at 2530 East Bay Dr. The 2,016-square-foot store took the place of a vacant KFC drive-thru, and is the popular gas station chain’s third drive-thru concept in the nation.
As previously mentioned, the new drive-thru concepts do not have gas or pre-packaged items found at typical Wawas, but instead focus on a limited menu centered around the chain’s deli sandwiches, wraps and the famous breakfast Sizzlis.
Last August, before it was even completed, the drive thru was put up for sale with a price tag of $3.2 million. Apparently, a buyer has yet to be found, since the property is still listed with a now reduced $2.9 million asking price.
The sale comes with a 10-year corporatebacked lease agreement from Wawa, a scheduled 7% rent increase, land ownership and “zero landlord responsibilities.”
The Wawa drive-thru concepts are part of the chain’s plan to double its footprint and open 100 new locations around the country by 2030, says the company.
“It was like a house party vibe.”

Sunshine sound
Sector FM is changing the face of radio in Tampa Bay.
By Dinorah Prevost
Sector FM, one of the newest radio stations in Tampa Bay, is incredibly unassuming, especially in the physical space it takes up: a small closet-like room on the second floor in one of the buildings that make up The Factory in St. Petersburg.
There’s no A/C, so the station’s presenters frequently crack the door open to let in cool air. One corner houses an ever-shrinking number of boxes belonging to Daddy Kool Records, which operates downstairs. On two desks placed along the walls is the equipment that runs this nascent project: turntables, CDJs, speakers, microphones and a huge iMac computer among other things. In many ways, Sector FM’s HQ is an audio enthusiast’s delight.
Despite appearances, this small office powers a bold idea: a twice-weekly, online radio station led by a handful of artists, musicians and music lovers who considered themselves a part of the Gulf Coast’s arts and music community.
Before Sector FM’s launch, Radio St. Pete, with its four separate streams, and Black Power 96 Community Radio, was the only other online radio station broadcasting from the Sunshine City (WMNF Tampa 88.5-FM, which celebrates its 45th anniversary this fall, broadcasts a signal that reaches well beyond Tampa Bay.)
Sector’s first Sunday online happened on Christmas Eve 2023. What started with seven presenters has expanded quickly in six months. The station now broadcasts one-hour shows curated by about 20 presenters twice a week. Presenters then upload their sets to Mixcloud.
The presenters come from wildly differing backgrounds, from working musicians and visual artists to bartenders and baristas. Some—like Alex Charos—are nearly lifelong residents of the region. Others—like Deja Denice, HorseShoeCrab and SmushySlugs— are newcomers who found their way here from metros like New York City and Minneapolis for the first or second time. What they all share is a dedication to curating music for their friends and community.
Birth of a station
The genesis of Sector FM stems partly from the COVID-19 pandemic. Vonne Parks and Andre Gainey of They Hate Change were no different
than many Floridians seeking creative and social outlets from home. They were longtime listeners of online radio stations like London’s legendary Rinse FM and NTS Radio. And in the summer of 2020, they got the chance to curate a set for a station based in New York City.
“We got to do [a show for] The Lot Radio remotely. We did an hour on there, which was cool,” Parks told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay. “It was like ‘It would be sick to have an hour on one of these stations.’ So we just had that in our minds and kind of set a goal with that.”
That goal later morphed into something more as they came out of isolation.
In the summer of 2022, Parks and Gainey started touring to promote their album, Finally New, released that May. They eventually made their way to Europe, visiting and creating one-off shows for other established stations.
“Refuge [Worldwide] radio was the first one I think we saw in person. They’re in Berlin, in the back of a bar/coffee shop called Oona,” Parks said. “[The idea] just started ringing off in my head. We just started taking pictures. The person who was producing for us looked at me. He was like ‘It’s pretty simple. Y’all could do this type thing.’ I think he picked up on [our] interest in it.”
London with the producers there, Frankie and Knox. With every stop, Parks noticed that the stations were built on a standard DJ setup and were supported by a consistent community presence.
MUSIC NEWS
They visited Noods Radios in Bristol, a city in southwest England, where producers Tehmeena and Rose showed them some elements of running a station. They encountered a similar friendliness at Foundation FM in
Then there was the visit to London’s NTS station last August. Parks and Gainey joined another presenter, Anu Ambasna, for a two hour set. Once again, station producers took notice of their curiosity. DJs Sigourney Jade Watson and Giulia invited them to hang around and ask questions the next day.
“We came back three days in a row, sticking around in NTS for hours,” Parks said. “Seeing how it runs, learning the ins and outs, the way that they set things up in the first place, the way they scheduled things, writing down notes of everything.”
continued on page 30
After London, they started rolling out developments, making a plan for a station, and buying the equipment they took note of at the NTS studio. They also started contacting friends, musicians and other regulars they met through the Tampa Bay area’s music scene to be presenters on the station, in addition to themselves.
“We invited people over to the house. We had the gear set up there first because we didn’t have a space. And that was the plan. Until we get a studio, we’ll just run out of here,” Parks said, referring to the home they share with their partner Zoe Robinson in St. Petersburg. “It was like a house party vibe because it was just people over at the house, hanging and DJing. We were running fake broadcasts basically.”
As more people became involved, Parks said the station moved towards becoming a community station that is run and sustained by all of the presenters. Leading up to December’s first broadcast, Raheem Fitzgerald, one of the presenters, helped secure the small office at the Factory. Sector FM had a new, more permanent home.
Local flavor
Delaney Staack was one of the first to present on Sector. She curates the 10 a.m.-11 a.m. slot on Sundays. A Seminole native, Staack holds down a job at a museum in St. Pete while also making music and performing occasionally. She was at Parks and Robinson’s home often late last year, working on events with We’re Sweet Girls, a local collective of young people who book music shows and community events around St. Pete. By just being in the room, she found out more about the plan for the station over time. “As soon as I heard about it, I was really drawn to it and immediately asked ‘What about me having a show?’ And Vonne was down for that,” Staack said.
The music on Staack’s show often varies from '60s and '70s film scores to contemporary ambient music. Having a weekly show has put her into a constant state of discovering and digging for new music, whether it’s on her own or through the other presenters. Some of that helps with picking music for the next week. In other cases, it’s starting to influence her own music, she explained (Staack plays Bayboro Brewing Co. this weekend, more on p. 36).
“I’m really happy that we are doing this,” she said. “I feel like there’s a pulse around here of people who want a scene and want the community and this, I think, could be something really powerful.”
Part of what she thinks is powerful about Sector FM is there is “permanence to it.” Hosting a community via the internet allows the station to get around the barriers to finding and maintaining spaces for community. Not only can Sector exist solely online, the presenters also
archive their shows on Mixcloud, a streaming platform that distributes radio shows for on demand listening.
In the late-2010s, the closures of Fubar and The Local 662—two seminal music venues on St. Pete’s Central Avenue—left musicians with fewer options for booking shows. Then the COVID-19 pandemic halted all venues and even house shows put on in backyards.
One of the realities driving presenters like Staack is knowing the ongoing development across the Bay area may fundamentally change this once low key region on the Gulf Coast.
“Seeing how much the city [St. Pete] has changed from a local perspective, our city has started catering so much to tourists and transplants. And what makes this area cool is the fact that people here want it to be an arts town,” Staack said. “I don’t want to lose that.”
I always loved my community back home. And my goal from going to New York from the jump was to come back and just reunite with all my people that share my culture.”
A producer first at heart, he teaches music production to middle schoolers and choir and keyboard at Hollins High School. While living in NYC, he started DJing and hosted a Twitch stream to beef up his skills and share music with viewers. Earlier this year, a few months into Sector’s “soft launch,” Parks approached him to become a presenter while he was DJing at a Skatepark of Tampa party. Although radio requires a different set of skills than the ones he honed from live streaming and DJing, he was ready to take on the experience. He is now one of the main Wednesday presenters. He’s been a big fan of The Lot Radio, which is similar in operation to Sector
at Bandit Coffee Co. in February for Valentine’s Day. Jayda Abello, one of the presenters in attendance that night, likened it to a “school dance vibe.”
MUSIC NEWS
“We had all these lights and balloons and heart shaped things everywhere. There was confetti on everything [and a] special menu. So that was really fun,” Abello added. “And I had not been to an event like that in St. Pete in the three years that I’ve lived here. But it reminded me of events that I had been to in other cities that I’ve lived in— Atlanta, Austin, New York—where older music from the ‘60s and ‘70s is still something that people want to hear every weekend.”
Global experience
Christian Tapper came back home to be part of something like Sector FM. Tapper— who makes music and performs as Johnny Champagne (his album release is on Friday, more p. 35)—lived in New York City for about five years before returning to the Tampa suburb of Lithia where he grew up. He studied at NYU for four years before graduating with a degree in Recorded Music in 2021. He lived in the city for another year before coming to a realization.
“This, I think, could be something really powerful.”
“I felt like my message and what I do as an artist didn’t really mesh well with a lot of the stuff going on in New York, except a very small scene that I really did love,” Tapper said. “It was a hard decision because I wanted to come back.
FM. Based in Brooklyn, the station broadcasts 24/7 from a renovated shipping container that occupies a small corner lot. “I just see the vision so clearly for Sector FM,” Tapper said. “I’m a huge fan of the local online radio show idea and I see the community it creates.”
Instead of setting the mood for or catering to an audience at an live event, Tapper says he has more leeway over what he wants to introduce to listeners. “What I love so much about radio, you have so much control over the culture and I want to put all these Tampa artists on,” Tapper said. “I want to put all the music that I think is cool on.”
Pressing flesh
Beyond radio, there’s another goal in mind for presenters: tying in in-person events to their shows so listeners can meet them. We’re Sweet Girls hosted the first Sector FM-related event
Before her move to St. Pete during the pandemic, Abello was a bartender for over 10 years, with some experience with DJing. When she left NYC, she also left bartending. She’s now a fulltime DJ who regularly plays at Hotel Haya in Ybor City and Lost and Found, a bar in St. Pete. Part of working on corporate accounts means she doesn’t often play music “that I listen to at home.” Sector FM , where she hosts VG+, is the platform where she does play music to express herself more fully. “There are so few things that I will do unpaid and this, I get stoked on it every week,” Abello said.
Using connections to local businesses and a live music booking company, she’s taken on the role of Sector’s de facto event coordinator.
“My whole angle for wanting to help with the events is using the network that I have,” Abello said. “People come to me with opportunities that maybe I myself cannot do for whatever reason or maybe I’m not the perfect fit. But there’s no reason I can’t pass that on to some other presenters.”
Since the Valentine’s dance, presenters have been cranking out Sector-related events. Abello, They Hate Change and Club Miata played an all vinyl set for Record Store Day at The Bends. DJ Spur, HorseshoeCrab and SmushySlugs have hosted DJ nights at Black Crow Coffee’s Old Northeast location. We’re Sweet Girls continues to put on their recurring “girls* to the front” event. Starting in July, Sector Saturdays will be a regular event at The Bends. There are also plans for a sunset pool party at Hotel Haya in late July.
Abello hopes for more partnerships to expand where Sector FM presenters can meet listeners. “If somebody has an event that they need music for, we have like 25-30 people who all play music. We all have this foundation of respect and responsibility,” she said. Parks later summed up their outlook on what makes Sector successful so far.
“Nobody thinks they’re gonna get famous from Sector FM. Nobody thinks that this is going to generate millions of dollars for them or something like that,” Parks said. “So you can tell that everybody wants to be here.”

Sierra Ferrell, Mavis Staples top lineup for 45th annual Clearwater Jazz Holiday.
By Ray Roa
If Sierra Ferrell sings “The Sea” for Clearwater this fall, fans are going to have a pretty great view of, well, the sea, too. “The festival is going to feature the main stage concerts back on the large green in Coachman Park,” Steve Weinberger told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay. Weinberger is the CEO of Clearwater Jazz Holiday, which is getting back to its roots for its 45th anniversary by offering large swaths of free seating overlooking not just the ticketed mainstage in Clearwater’s revamped Coachman Park, but free access to stages on the park’s pier and nearby lower plaza.

Clearwater Jazz Holiday
of jazz from ensembles featuring the young musicians the foundation supports year-round, along with groups led by jazz scene mainstays like Hiram Hazley (Ruby’s Elixir, Le Jazz Trio), plus Pete Carney (Jazz Studies Director at State College of Florida), pianist John O’Leary (performing with saxophonist Trace Zacur), and saxophonist Jazmin Ghent.
“For the first 32 of the 45-year history, Jazz Holiday was a free event that was largely supported by corporate partnerships, grants, donations and other fundraising initiatives,” explained Weinberger, who’s served the nonprofit in various roles for over 20 years, He added “So this format is a hybrid, and in a way, reminiscent of those years.”
Ferrell, the fastest-rising star in a bright American roots music scene, is just part of the lineup announced tonight during a special concert by the foundation.
R&B and gospel icon Mavis Staples is also among the headliners for the four-day festival along with St. Paul & the Broken Bones, Cory Wong, Boney James, Tower of Power, Galactic with Anjelika Jelly Joseph, and the U.S. Air Force Falconaires big band.
Tickets to the 2024 Clearwater Jazz Holiday happening Thursday-Sunday, Oct. 17-20 start at $45 and are on sale now.
While reserved seats and reserved seats with VIP area access are available for purchase, Weinberger is excited about fans being able to access parts of the festival-and see headlinersfree of charge.
“There’s a large bluff, we’re calling it the ‘Sunset Overlook,’ that is a sloping large lawn area that overlooks the green,” he added. “Attendees will be able to come in and on a first-come, first-served basis, bring blankets and lawn chairs onto that bluff overlook if they want. But then they can also walk freely around Coachman Park in front of these other stages and also access beer gardens on the green.”
The two new side stages, also open to the public at no charge, will book 15 additional artists over four days, effectively setting up the two headliners each night.
Additional acts on the 2024 Clearwater Jazz Holiday lineup include a whole bunch
The Steelin’ Peaches Allman Brothers revue is also on the bill along with Friends of Fil organ trio, Have Gun, Will Travel, The Family Funk, Polyrhythmics, The Castellano AllStars, and a chilltronic takeover by dance scene staples Jask and Austen van der Bleek.

Like past Clearwater Jazz Holidays—and like many other jazz fest lineups including the big one in New Orleans—the 2024 lineup
coming to Coachman Park ventures beyond straight ahead jazz.
“There is something for everybody and kind of a different vibe each day,” Weinberger said. “The side stages create a festival pre-party each day.”
Also new this year is a flexible ticket package that lets fans choose what kind of seating they want on any given day.
“We wanted to do something special for our 45th anniversary and this format really captures the community feel and magic of the festival tradition,” Weinberger added. “Not only is this year’s format more accessible, but It is also a return to something more familiar and an experience unique and special to us.”
Part of getting back to the festival’s roots means blending those free and paid elements—and creating more accessibility—as seamlessly as possible.
“The BayCare Sound is a beautiful, firstclass, facility, and there may be a time in the future when it’s integrated again in some way, as part of the Jazz Holiday Festival, but this year, we’re excited for our community and visitors, to celebrate this milestone year with us in this format and in this familiar setting,” Weinberger said, expressing optimism for bringing fluidity to the festival footprint.
“We wanted to do something special for our 45th anniversary.”
And while Clearwater Jazz Holiday’s return to its home at Coachman Park last year included the space’s new venue, The BayCare Sound will not host any music this year.
“It’s more of a festival feel, less of a performing arts center kind of feel. I think for a festival setting, that’s important. We really want to take advantage of it, and we want to grow that aspect of our footprint in downtown so that when Jazz Holiday happens, it is something that is special and unique to us and our experience,” Weinberger added.
SEA YOU SOON: Sierra Ferrell is the fastest-rising talent in roots music.
members of King Crimson, including Tony Levin, played there last February). This weekend it stages two days of jam-centric music including Pete Lavezolli (of Oteil & Friends & Jazz is Dead), plus tributes to Phish, the Grateful Dead, and Jerry Garcia Band, plus others playing original funk, jam and more.

C Final Da Cypher: C-Rena w/Mr. Unkown/SB/Sam E Hues/Aych/JB Grimes/Wes Blizzy/Ree Baby/Antavio Johnson/more Just ask the countless rappers and emcees who’ve graced the stage at Da Cypher: Aych means what he says, and won’t hold back. Last year, the Bay area hip-hop scene elder statesman and staple announced that 2024 would mark the end of his nearly 20-years running open mic, which has been both a gauntlet and incubator for anyone who wants to make it in the local rap game. For this final installment, some of Aych’s favorites will help the city pay respects as part of a night that’ll be more-or-less a mini music festival featuring vendors, food pop ups, and some of the best rappers the Bay area has to offer. (Crowbar, Ybor City)
C L8 Night Flights pier pop-up six-year anniversary It’s not cheap to stage a popup rave and dance party on public property, but the L8 Night Flights crew is committed to the cause. The collective of DJs once again takes over the most underground portion of the St. Pete Pier (beneath the tilted lawn) for its anniversary party that’s a must-experience event for anyone who loves house music. It’s bound to be a sweaty, good, time, but organizers of the ticketed event have also purchased enough portable swamp coolers to blow cold air across 12,000 square-feet. (St. Pete Pier, St. Petersburg)
C Leah Senior w/The Venus/Delaney Staack Leah Senior’s come a long way to be in Florida to support the outing written in batches during lockdowns in Melbourne. The songs, like “Springtime Studio” recall the quietest moments of Joni Mitchell’s catalog, but Senior—who opened for King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard last fall—also deploys acoustic guitar run through pedals and a wild DI. Senior’s pristine vocal takes the stage at one of Tampa Bay’s finest listening spaces as she sneaks a St. Pete set in between dates opening for Kairos Creature Club. Rock band The Venus opens alongside songwriter Delaney Staack (Bayboro Brewing, St. Petersburg)
Municipal Waste’s Tony Foresta. No telling if said special guests will show up at Walled City’s release party, but at the very least, a plethora of fellow punk groups will. Hit the merch booth at this south Pinellas DIY venue for vinyl copies of the album, and vegan treats from Golden Dinosaurs. (The Icehouse, Gulfport)
SUN 30
C Kristopher James w/Geri X/Katie Talbert Via livestreams, BFFs Geri X and Katie Talbert undoubtedly got a lot of people through the isolation that was the early COVID-19 pandemic. Their chemistry and talent should be on full display for this no-cover early-evening songwriter set that’s part of a monthly showcase hosted by one of the Bay area’s finest crooners, Kristopher James. (Independent Bar & Cafe, Tampa)
Larry Carlton Just as Joni Mitchell is returning to the public eye, Larry Carlton—who played on four of her albums—is preparing to hang it up. When he wasn’t spending time in jazz fusion band The Crusaders, the 76-yearold guitar whiz’s resume remained massive, including collaborations with Michael Jackson, Steely Dan, and Dolly Parton. Most of Carlton’s farewell tour selections don’t relate with his time playing in the mainstream, but surely a few stories here and there about Walter Becker and Donald Fagen will pop up. (Central Park Performing Arts Center, Largo)
Mutant Fusion Collective feat. Austin Llewellyn The Dunedin-based jazz fusion outfit performs at Florida’s oldest microbrewery once again, and will be joined by the watering hole’s resident Open Jam Night co-host Austin Llewellyn on keyboards. (Dunedin Brewery, Dunedin)
Trey Wanvig Guitarist and songwriter Trey Wanvig came of age onstage, first gaining notoriety as a 14-year-old phenom before fulling assimilating into the Florida blues music scene on the strength of his guitar tone, natural feel and ability to sit back and let his band—lately featuring Hammond B3, bass and drums—shine on covers and originals, too. He continues the Skipperdome’s tradition of being one of the best blues bars in Florida with this gig. (Skipper’s Smokehouse, Tampa)
C Walled City w/Plague Spitter/ Caught Fire/Blown Apart/fisherpriceguillotine The St. Pete-based “anti-fascist punk” outfit’s new album World Pain has a pretty solid lineup. Behind the console is legendary local producer Ryan Boesch (a.k.a one of the only producers in town who can say that he has produced the Foo Fighters), and banging the cans is former Darkest Hour drummer Ryan Parrish, recommended to Justin Grant and friends by
Walker Hayes Though the 2021 death of his father surely did some damage, Walker Hayes tends to focus on the anecdotal side of his life on his latest EP, New Money. On it, the 44-year-old country songwriter talks about taking his kids to see Taylor Swift perform, and discusses a diverse friend group that includes people who think that COVID-19 was a hoax and a guy who has a crush on another guy, who thinks that Bud Light turns you gay. The last time local fans got to see Hayes in person—assuming they didn’t take a drive out to Plant City or Universal Studios—was in 2022, during an opening set for Kane Brown at Amalie Arena. (Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Tampa)
MON 01
Pvris w/Pale Waves/Bruses On her current “Oil & Water” tour, Lynn Gunn (aka Pvris, stylized in all caps) focuses heavily on material from her latest album Evergreen , on which she makes two statements: She wanted her life back from the restraints of COVID-19, and how she never intentionally gets nostalgic on her recordings. This gig marks Gunn’s first in Tampa Bay since an appearance at last summer’s Sad Summer Music Festival at The Sound. (Jannus Live, St. Petersburg)

as luck would have it, Tampa is the first stop on a month-and-a-half long tour featuring an allfemale symphony orchestra accompanying one of the biggest films of last summer (similar to how The Florida Orchestra has been performing the “Harry Potter” scores). It’s gonna be a hot one, but still good enough to drink. (MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre, Tampa)
C The Remix: Mike Tony Michael Bostinto might as well be Tampa Bay’s lounge music king. Surrounded by musicians since birth, the sultry songwriter better known as Mike Tony can play drums (which he does for Daptone-adjacent quartet Soft Cuff), guitar and piano which he regularly deploys in solo sets like this one he brings to one of the Bay area’s best multi-genre open mics. While Tony’s vocal (he can go from low crooning to full-pipe belting) and grasp on power-pop earned his old band Très Bien fame on “Next Great American Band,” the music he releases under the Rollingchild is the kind of moody, soulful and dank music that’s good for
having sex and also drinking yourself into a bender. (Shuffle, Tampa)
WED 03
A.C.E. Now that their military service is mostly over, the South Korean five-piece is back, and will bring its sexy, new EP My Girl: ‘My Choice into Tampa as part of a short run of U.S. gigs. If these current minimalistic ways are just a double-check to ensure that everyone is still tight after a few years away, there very well could be much larger things up the boys’ sleeves for the future, too. (Ferguson Hall at David A. Straz Center For the Performing Arts, Tampa)
C Hot Dog Party XVIII: Wolf Face w/ The Don’t Belongs/Jeremy Gloff/more It’s pretty natural to start thinking about wieners anytime Wolf-Face is onstage. The long-running lupine St. Pete punk band marries the melodic and homoerotic with
ease, and for America’s birthday Michael J. Wolf & co. headline the 18th installment of Tampa’s OG hot dog eating competition. Tampa songwriter Jeremy Gloff will also be on hand to perform his raunchy “Hot Dog Party anthem,” along with a support bill of other Bay area rock acts and DJs. Per usual, a whole lot of glory and a sick championship belt await whoever can gobble down the most meat sticks in eight minutes. This is thee Fourth of July party to attend in Tampa Bay. (Crowbar, Ybor City)
THU 04
C Beer and Metal Mayhem: Moth Bite w/Dead Angels If you wished that beer festivals were more metal, well, Tim Ogden is your man. The brewer had a hand in some of the best Bay area beers ever (read: Tocobaga red), and he’s spent the last year-or-so turning his brewery and tasting room into a church of brew and community. Hard-hitting metal
outfits will take the stage for this no-cover festival while the taps get taken over by four equally monstrous Bay area breweries— Angry Chair, Magnanimous, Woven Water and Deviant—plus Bonita Springs’s Ceremony Brewing and phantom brew operation Mythk Brewing. (Deviant Libation, Tampa)
C Boom By The Bay 2024: Gwan
Massive There’s no shortage of places to see things go boom in the sky across Tampa Bay (read more on p. 8), but this year’s installment of Boom By the Bay will also have music fans going, “blap, blap, blap.” The occasion? A reunion of Tampa'sGwan Massive which over the years has included the city’s best musicians, rappers, DJs and beatmakers. More or less genre-agnostic, the Gwans hop around jazz, funk, rock, hip-hop and soul with ease. This free show goes down at JBL and is family-friendly. Lawn chairs, blankets and small coolers are allowed, along with food and soft drinks (no booze or cooking though). (Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park, Tampa)
7 Nights a Week!
Ready or not, Ms. Lauryn Hill has rescheduled plans to bring The Fugees reunion to Tampa.
Although she recently postponed a Bay area show jus 51 days after announcing it, the iconic 49-year-old rapper, singer and artist says she’s feeling better and just announced a 21-date tour that will not only celebrate her Grammy-winning catalog, but also the music of The Fugees with whom she arrived on the scene with in the early-’90s.
The gig is also in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Hill’s landmark 1998 album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which was nominated for 10 Grammys in 1999 (it won five).
The appearance of The Fugees is notable, too, since one of the group’s members, Pras, still awaits sentencing after being “convicted in a federal court in Washington, D.C., on 10 counts related to charges that include conspiracy, witness tampering and failing to register as an agent of China,” according to NPR. Complicating matters further for the Grammy-winning rapper is the fact that his lawyer recently plead guilty to leaving evidence to Bloomberg News.
Hill was supposed to play Amalie Arena in December 2023, but was forced to cancel, citing vocal strain. She promised to find a new date, and now Tampa has its lost one back.

Dear Oracle, I recently started volunteering at an organization and have met “Annie,” who also volunteers. We’re friendly with each other and chat sometimes. The thing is, she’ll mention stuff about her husband or her church or her upbringing, and I feel sirens go off in my head. I think she might be in a highcontrol environment. She doesn’t seem distressed or looking for help, but she is VERY young. I’m worried about her but don’t know what to do. Do the cards have any advice?—Annie, are you OK?
Cards: Six of Cups, Page of Pentacles (reversed), The Moon, Nine of Swords
Dear OK, this is a tricky question for a few reasons. First, it’s difficult to get an accurate portrait of someone via casual conversation. A shocking comment might actually be banal with more context, or you might have misunderstood something, or someone might be exaggerating for dramatic effect. If you don’t know the person well, it’s hard to tell.
Second, if Annie is in a cult or some other high-control situation, then what is your responsibility as an acquaintance? Is it ethical to “help” someone leave a cult if you aren’t prepared to offer support (physical, financial, emotional) to them during the entire process? Could you make the situation worse for her? I don’t know—and there are FAR better professionals to ask if this is the case.
As for the cards, they give more insight into Annie’s inner life rather than her circumstances.
With the Six of Cups and Page of Pentacles reversed, I think Annie is reevaluating her childhood, her wants, and what she’s always known. Six of Cups can be a nostalgic revisit but can also connect to childhood dreams. With the studious and hardworking Page of Pentacles, she might be trying to forge a path towards that dream.
Then, we have The Moon and the Nine of Swords. I think Annie is going through a profound, slow transformation. With the Major Arcana, she’ll be doing a thorough examination of her soul, and while the Nine of Swords can be transformative, that transformation comes at a price. You have to recognize the past to move forward to your future.
Now, without any other context, I cannot tell you if Annie is gearing up to leave a cult, about to go way deeper into it, or is simply growing and changing as a young woman does at this time in her life. Whatever is happening, she’s on the precipice of change.
If you want to help her, ask her about her dreams and ambitions. Where does she see herself in 10 years? What sort of things would she like to accomplish? The Pentacle Court is resourceful, so she might be open to help if it can get her to a goal.
If her goal is a type of career, that’s great! If she’s in a cult, having access to her own money
could help her leave down the road. And if she’s not in a cult, helping a young woman achieve her dream career is fantastic anyway. It’s a win/win.
Regardless of what’s happening, being an open, curious, and non-judgmental acquaintance with Annie can only benefit you both. It’ll make your time volunteering together enjoyable and perhaps lead to you two becoming friends. I hope all is well.
Dear Oracle, I have two friends from college who I love, but every time we see each other, I feel like we regress 20 years to our old selves. Sometimes it’s fun, but most of the time, it’s exhausting, with high drama situations and very immature feelings/actions from all of us. I don’t feel or act this way with any other friends. How can we grow up together?—I Guess This Is Growing Up

Cards: The Emperor (reversed), Nine of Cups, Knight of Swords (reversed), Three of Swords
Dear 182, I don’t know if you all can “grow up together.” I think you may have already grown up and your two friends are fine to be co-eds forever.
The two reversed cards, The Emperor and the Knight of Swords, show an honest leader who knows themselves and tries to be balanced and diplomatic. I can see why you don’t like reverting to your immature past self because that’s not who you are daily. You’ve outgrown that.
The Nine of Cups is pulling double duty. It represents both our wishes and our true nature. You want your friends to grow up; you want to have the type of mature relationship you have with your other friends. That is a reasonable wish. But, again, you know yourself and know you aren’t the same person you were 20 years ago. This brings us to the heartbreak of the Three of Swords, a card of loss and grief. I am not saying that you should end your friendship with these two. But you need to adjust your expectations for it. They may never change, and if you don’t like how you are around them now, you need to decide how much you want to be around them in the future. It’s so hard to know when a friendship has run its course or when it needs to evolve. Many of us don’t think of a future where we won’t be friends with our nearest and dearest. It’s OK to mourn the closeness that you once had and the future where these two were dominant in it. Again, you don’t have to end this friendship, but you may be ready to distance yourself. I’m so sorry. I know this is hard. But, as The Emperor and Knight of Swords, you know who you are and what’s best for you. A small hope: Tarot is best for the immediate future, three-to-six months. Your friends might grow up down the road, and you three can reconnect more fully. I certainly hope so.
Best of luck, my dear.
