At this point we just feel bad for you if you're moping around and whining that Tampa Bay has nothing to offer when it comes to awesome, live local music.

After Antiwarpt, Tropical Heatwave, the monthly TBT Rock the Park, and the recent announcement of the First Annual Gasparilla Music Festival, you've literally got to be living under a rock if you feel like a slighted music fan here in Tampa Bay.

If the case against you isn't strong enough, we've also got Summer Jam 7 going down at Crowbar and New World Brewery in Ybor City next Saturday, August 27 with a diverse slew of local bands, DJs, BBQ and more to rub the salt in the wounds of any haters (if they even exist?).

Join your Tampa Bay music brethren for a day of live music ranging from the sounds of acoustic singer songwriters to hip hop, country, rock, electronica, and jam bands....the list goes on and on.

Even if you've never heard of many of these artists/bands, Summer Jam is a great way to expose yourself to the eclectic collection of music in and around the Tampa Bay Area.  With over 15 acts and advanced tickets at $13, you're getting quite a deal.  Summer Jam's been around for seven years now.  They've got to be doing something right, right?

To grab your advanced tickets, head to the THX Management ticket website here and get them before they go up to $16 on the day of the show.  Summer Jam 7; just another way to see live music in Tampa in all it's glory!
