Music acts as a placemaker and teacher as part of a new live music series launching at the Encore district. Organized by the nonprofit Instruments 4 Life, together with Tampa Downtown Partnership and Tampa Housing Authority, the show features close to a dozen of the Bay area’s brightest instrumentalists and songwriters to perform songs by legends like Ray Charles, Etta James, Tampa Red, and Billie Holiday who all have ties to Tampa.
