“The Moth” Set To Fly To Tampa’s WUSF
Produced by “The Moth,” Tampa Bay public radio broadcaster WUSF will bring a live storytelling event to the Tampa Theater on October 10. The show will feature a diverse lineup of guests telling personal stories of adventure, struggle, redemption, and creativity. Guests tell their stories without notes in the long tradition of a community gathering around the fire to share their experiences and their culture. University of South Florida-owned WUSF general manager JoAnn Urofsky tells TALKERS, “Events such as this are a key part of our mission to connect residents of Florida with news, information and entertainment that’s meaningful to their lives. These events are also wonderfully fun and a great place for our community to gather and enjoy a great show.” Each show starts with a theme, and the storytellers explore it, often in unexpected ways. Novelist George Dawes Green founded “The Moth” in 1997. The native Georgian wanted to recreate in New York City the feeling of sultry summer evenings when moths were attracted to the light on the porch where he and his friends would gather to tell spellbinding tales. Each story is true and every voice is authentic. “The Moth” has hosted these events in other cities including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Seattle, and Denver.

Soft Cuff – “Wouldn’t’ve”
Soft Cuff is a Tampa-based band featuring four of the area’s most innovative musicians: Brian Schanck, Mikey Bostinto, Tina Sanchez, and Shane Schuch. They have recently shared “Wouldn’t’ve”, a chilled-out blend of indie psych rock with a bit of laid-back funk and slight surfy nature that feels like a glorious blend of Toro y Moi, early Tame Impala, Khruangbin, and The Allah-Las.
