What this band is
The St Pete Collective is a group of musicians who play around Tampa Bay all week in different bands. They come together to honor the music of their favorite artists, giving each songbook a full evening of its own.
Right now the show is all James Taylor. Typical shows run two sets with an intermission, mixing the radio hits with deeper album cuts. The St Pete Collective plays seated concerts, made for fans who want to savor each moment and drift back to another time.
The band is based in St. Petersburg, Florida and plays theaters, cultural centers, and listening rooms across Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Sarasota counties.
