Matt Pless isn’t a “put it on in the background” artist — he’s a show up and feel it in your chest kind of songwriter. He’s a full-throttle folk-punk road dog with the rare combo of razor-sharp lyrics, huge hooks, and that magnetic, room-commanding presence where the crowd stops being an audience and turns into a chorus. One minute it’s funny and feral, the next it’s quietly devastating — and somehow it all lands.

If you’ve never seen him live, this is the night you fix that. Matt’s sets have that sweaty DIY electricity: big singalongs, honest stories, and the kind of catharsis that makes you walk out lighter than you walked in.

Gainesville’s Confession Kids bring the punchy, heart-on-sleeve energy, and Saint Pete’s own Charles Walston returns with his new band, Miasma — local legend status for a reason, with songs that hit like a memory you forgot you had.
