Some of Tampa Bay's best live acts play 'Gaza! Rising' benefit concert in Ybor City

Last month, a “Gaza! Rising” benefit show raised $2,000 for The Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund.

“It was an awesome turnout given the short time frame and everyone from the bartenders to the bands to the vendors were class acts,” organizer Laith Abdel told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay.

This weekend, Abdel’s band Highway Advisory Radio is part of a stacked redux that’s a who’s who of the Bay area’s most dynamic live acts—including St. Pete hip-hop duo Dea and Saint, Afterword (the drum-drived EBM trio featuring Merchandise frontman Carson Cox and former-CL-now-Tampa Bay Times reporter Justin Garcia), Brianna Bullock’s synth-pop project Offerings, rock duo Hovercar and more.

Bring love and compassion, and let us dedicate a night of artistic expression to those who are suffering in Gaza,” Abdel wrote in a message about the show. “Cease fire now. End the suffering.”

Donations will be accepted at the door for the Gaza! Rising benefit show happening Saturday, April 27 at Crowbar in Ybor City.
