Throughout this past year, members of WUSF 89.7 and Classical WSMR have been highlighting live music that makes the Tampa Bay Area a little more special as part of our ongoing Art Populi series.
This week on Florida Matters we hear some of those stories.
We start off with a visit to a restaurant in downtown St. Petersburg where jazz reigns every Monday night.
We take an unconventional history tour of death metal music, which got its start in Tampa.
We talk with leaders at New Music New College, which has been “fostering a conversation about contemporary music and performance” through concerts and events for nearly two decades in Sarasota.
We meet members of the Lumina Youth Choirs, one of the best known choral groups in the Tampa Bay area.
We conclude our live music tour of Tampa Bay with a tribute band that puts their own unique flair on songs you may never get to hear live.
Scroll down below for links to the entire collection of Art Populi stories on live, local music produced this year.
