Now, for the bands!!

Talk To Mark 

“By equal turns both raucous and melodious, St. Petersburg, FL quartet Talk To Mark mix power guitars, impassioned vocals and pop songwriting into a straight-ahead rock style all their own.

…During a set break an enthusiastic fan inquired as to the band’s name, to which Young replied, ‘I don’t know, talk to Mark’” – NPR

Rocket 88

Orlando’s Rocket 88 returns with their original line-up!

“Gene Vincent-inspired rave-up rockabilly with the wardrobe and mile-high pompadours to match. Toe-tappin’, fingersnappin’, hand-clappin’, don’t-let-me-catch-you-nappin’ rockabilly, dressed to the nines and ready to rock.”

HGWT (Have Gun, Will Travel) 

Florida’s Have Gun, Will Travel have a knack for blending musical influences and shifting between genres while maintaining their own distinctive sound. Their songs run the gamut from foot-stomping front-porch spirituals to strum-punk rave-ups, hill-country historicals and indie-rock anthems.

FUN for you. FUNDs for WMNF.

Your OVERHEAT ticket purchase will be an investment in the future of our mission-driven, volunteer-powered, listener-supported community radio station, because all Overheat proceeds will go to WMNF’s Meet the Match Campaign to establish our new endowment fund.

Plus, if the Meet the Match Campaign raises $200,000 by July 5, both the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay and the Nathan B. Stubblefield Foundation will match that amount— boosting the endowment’s initial nest egg to $400,000. We’re already SOOOO close!!

The endowment’s opening deposit won’t be touched for 10 years and will be invested in a socially responsible portfolio for use by future WMNF radio-activists.

Here’s your chance to say you helped WMNF Meet the Match while getting your groove on. And, if bringing together three exceptional bands for a night of rock and roll, we’ll also give all attendees a piece of cake to celebrate our station manager’s birthday.

Get your $20 ticket early below, or $25 at the door.
