Florida’s music scene isn’t just growing—it’s evolving. While the rest of the country is just starting to shake off the winter chill, the corridor between Orlando and Tampa is currently a pressure cooker of live energy.
Today at Bandloc, we’ve officially added 21 new must-see events to our March calendar. This isn’t just a list of shows; it’s a cross-section of the subcultures that make our state the most interesting place for live music right now.
The Heavy & The Haunting
For those who prefer their music with a bit of grit, the upcoming weeks are stacked. We’re seeing a massive resurgence in the “Florida Sound”—that unique blend of sludge, metalcore, and darkwave.
- The Legends: Metalcore pioneers Poison the Well return to Crowbar, while sludge icons Cavity (alongside Thrull) are set to shake the foundations of Will’s Pub.
- The Atmosphere: If you’re looking for something more cinematic, the industrial rhythms of Assemblage 23 and the darkwave textures of Feyleux offer a perfect late-night escape.
The Indie & Emo Renaissance
If the “Spring Awakening” has a soundtrack, it’s being written by the indie and emo acts currently touring the state.
- The Veterans: The Early November & Hellogoodbye are bringing a masterclass in power-pop nostalgia to the House of Blues.
- The New Wave: From the bedroom-pop vulnerability of Worry Club to the “trash-pop” energy of FELICITY, the local scene is proving that catchy hooks and high energy never go out of style. Don’t miss Saturdays At Your Place for that essential midwest-emo-meets-Florida-sunshine vibe.
Roots, Groove, and Jam
For the mid-week loungers and the weekend brunchers, we’ve curated a selection of soulful, instrumental, and jam-heavy sets.
- The Grooves: Check out Ancient Sun for world-class funk or get lost in the psychedelic improvisations of Sqwerv & Tand.
- The Soul: For an intimate experience, the solo showcases by Nevin Scott Zink and the powerful vocals of Layla Brisbois at House of Blues provide the perfect backdrop for a Florida afternoon.
