St. Pete producer Bauxmonk headlines Tampa Shuffle's 'Remix' open mic on Tuesday
In its best form, Tampa Shuffle’s Tuesday open mic is an incubator of ideas and cradle for up-and-coming local talent. This week it welcomes St. Petersburg producer Bauxmonk who makes lo-fi beat tapes and will surely collect a lot of contacts after connecting with the talent that regularly signs up for the staple community event. There's no cover for The Remix featuring Bauxmonk at Tampa Shuffle on Tuesday, May 21. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.

Pop songwriter Upsahl opens for Madison Beer in St. Pete on Wednesday
From the moment Taylor Upsahl stepped onstage to help kickoff day two of 2021’s 97X Next Big Thing, I knew Tampa Bay was witnessing history. Though most of the instrumentation behind her was pre-recorded, her bass lines, guitar work, and lyrics about social anxiety resonated with her small-but-mighty crowd. Last year, the 25-year-old headlined a gig at Ybor City’s Crowbar while performing the majority of her album Lady Jesus. Expect Upsahl’s set opening for Madison Beer to be filled with plenty from her new album The PHX Tapes. Tickets to see Madison Beer and Upsahl play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Wednesday, May 22 are still available and start at $42.50. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.

Lonnie Holley and Gang Gang Dance’s Lizzi Bougatsos team up for MFA St. Pete exhibit
Lonnie Holley has never played the same song twice. Lizzi Bougatsos revolutionized rock music in the rule-demolishing New York band Gang Gang Dance. Both artists have collaborated in the course of their decade-long friendship, but a new exhibition is a new chapter and showcases their work on a series of new sculptures which amplify the power of found objects. “Every time I come to Florida I feel like I’m a doctor checking up on a patient: rising tides, changing temperatures, increasing population. When I visited last year with Lizzi, we spent a lot of time talking about water and the coastal areas, and realized it was something we both think about deeply,” Holley wrote in a press release. A members-only preview happens on Friday, but Holley and guest curator Viva Vadim conduct two gallery walkthroughs on Saturday.
