The New Granada Christmas concert, a Tampa Bay vacation staple, is back after being canceled last year because of, well, you know.
Promoter Keith Ulrey always tries to keep things safe at the 18+ show with many protocols in place, including a negative COVID-19 PCR test result (within 48 hours of the event) or a proof of full vaccination. Masks are also needed, a last minute decision in response to Omicron’s rise to power.
Ulrey’s’ 90s emo band Pohgoh are one of a stellar lineup of musician friends we haven’t heard from in a while.
Hardcore group Meatwound is back after a two-year hiatus, with new songs in hand. It’s also the second show in two years for St. Petersburg punk outfit Permanent Makeup; seeing Susan Dickson, Chris Nadeau and James Bess back on stage will be the much-needed therapeutic respite from family duties.
The show’s opening is Bad, Bad Things, a new project from Career frontman Ryan Fouché. “We are a group of four power-poppy / punk musicians. Pretty new, this will be our second show, â€Fouche told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay. Rutterkin’s James Pendleton, Pet Lizard’s Kirsten Clauser, and drummer David Lamb round out the rest of the BBT lineup.
