Freckled Fin Irish Pub

"You sound like Bob Dylan," people often tell John Allen James, "except you can sing!" That doesn't make any sense to him, either. "But everyone means it kindly," he says, "so I don't argue."
John's shows feature classic favorite songs from the 1950s to today along with a few tunes from his own four albums and three EPs.
In addition to venues around the Suncoast, John has also played live numerous times on WMNF and WSLR radio.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/162339/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

The Sarasota Players

“Kaddish for the Barrio” by Gabriel V. Ortiz is the moving story of a haunted young Latino gang member (Brandon Billings), his sister Elena (Jennifer Vasquez), and an aging rabbi (Leonard Rubinstein) who form an unlikely bond inside a crumbling East L.A. synagogue now used as a community center. This new drama explores guilt, redemption, and the search for light in a world shattered by violence. Blending humor, poetry, rap, and prayer, it asks whether broken souls can find a way to heal. Directed by Preston Boyd, this show is presented by <a href="https://sarasotajewishtheatre.com/current-season/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sarasota Jewish Theatre</a> at The Sarasota Players, 3501 S. Tamiami Trail in Sarasota. Performances are October 9 and 11 at 1:30 p.m.; and October 7, 8, and 10 at 7:30 p.m. <a href="https://theplayers.ludus.com/show_page.php?show_id=200538027" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Tickets</a> are $36.
