Crowbar, the veteran live-music room in Ybor City, is going out with a twangy bang. On Saturday, July 25, the venue hosts an all-star "One Last Hootenanny" as it winds through its final weekend. Florida Americana mainstays Have Gun, Will Travel top the bill, joined by a rotating cast that includes Hannah Harber (performing with Thomas Wynn) and Will Quinlan and the Bastard Souls. The show is one of several farewell nights crammed into the bar’s last days after roughly two decades of putting bands onstage, with local fans and musicians treating the run as a tribute to a room that helped launch careers across Tampa Bay.
All-star lineup and surprises
According to Creative Loafing Tampa, the lineup features Have Gun, Will Travel, the Lauris Vidal Second Line, Harber Wynn, Will Quinlan and the Bastard Souls, Urbane Cowboys, The Tattered Saints, Christina Wagner & Friends, and Andy & the Argonauts, plus "many additional surprise players." The outlet notes that Hannah Harber will appear alongside Thomas Wynn, giving the night a loose, festival-style all-star vibe that you would usually expect on a big outdoor stage rather than inside a neighborhood club.
When and tickets
Have Gun, Will Travel's official site lists the show for Saturday, July 25, with doors at 4 p.m. and an 18+ policy in place. Both Have Gun, Will Travel's site and the event listing on Bandsintown show the same start time and note that tickets are available. Advance tickets remain on sale through those listings and through third-party sellers.
Why Crowbar is closing
The venue’s summer shutdown has been linked to lease pressures and ongoing development in Ybor City, as reported by the Tampa Bay Times. That report described Crowbar as Ybor’s last full-time independent music room and detailed owner Tom DeGeorge’s efforts to keep small clubs alive while rents climb. In response, promoters have turned the building’s final weeks into a farewell run that spotlights the local scene one more time.
Sendoffs have already started
Local bands have been packing the calendar with goodbye sets for weeks. Florida Night Heat reunited in late June for what promoters billed as probably their final Crowbar appearance. Hoodline framed that reunion as one in a string of "last" nights that now define the venue’s closing chapter. For many musicians, the shows double as reunions, with gratitude and community taking center stage alongside the final headlining slots.
What to expect
Fans can expect a long, rotating night of guest spots, covers and stretched-out jams, the kind of loose and communal set that farewell bills often turn into. If you cannot make it to the hootenanny, keep an eye on the bands' pages for any post-show pop-ups or extra sendoff dates.
