Crowbar in Ybor City, Florida

There’s been a big push to makeover Ybor City after a late-October street shooting killed two and injured more than a dozen, but local artists of every discipline come together for this gig that showcases all that’s good about the historic district. Shevonne’s rock band and spoken word artist Wally B are on a bill of mostly hip-hop that lands in Crowbar where live painters will take over the courtyard.

Funds raised will help support the efforts of the Andrew Joseph Foundation, which mobilizes communities after young people are killed by police. The event is also the launch of a series of community-based, risk mitigation, first aid, crisis management, and community safety and recovery workshops, training sessions, and programs. “These are open to ALL who share a concern for the well-being of OUR beloved Ybor City,” organizers wrote.

Tickets to There’s Good In Ybor at Ybor City’s own Crowbar on Monday, Dec. 11 are still available and cost $10. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
