Bringing you the very best live Jazz experiences in Central Florida
The Slackers with very special guests The Freecoasters
Thursday 10/2/2025 at The Orpheum, Tampa, FL
Since 1991, the Slackers have released fifteen albums and countless singles, while their 1000s of live performances feed their fans with energetic sets of ecstatic music. On tour promoting their latest release, “My Last Star,” the band promises to play new favorites as well as classic hits and deep cuts. The Slackers have been called ‘the Sound of New York’ by the New York Times. They were described by Brooklyn Vegan as a“ clean mix of Ska, Reggae, and Soul that gets dirtied up by Vic Ruggiero’s tough New York accent.’
Visit our Events Tab for tickets to all three Slackers shows including 10/4/25 in Sanford & 10/5/2025 in West Palm Beach.
