Since the phrase "social distancing" became a phrase in our daily vocabulary, many of us who love live music have had to settle for at-home concerts online.  But Ruth Eckerd Hall is giving us a glimmer of hope today with an announcement of a concert in August.  It's the first big show announced in 2020 in weeks here in the Tampa Bay area. Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo will play Clearwater August 12. Tickets go on sale Friday, April 10 for $49, $69 and $89. If you want to do it up big, there's also a "photo op" package for $325 that gets you a seat in the first 10 rows, some special merch and a moment for a photo with Pat before the show.

With so much uncertainty given how the news evolves daily about the coronavirus, it's possible the show and others scheduled will be postponed. But here's a running list of scheduled show for now!
