The Georgia-based rock band has two shows in the Sunshine State.

The Black Crowes in 2020 celebrated the 30th anniversary of their debut, successful album. Hits from it include "Twice As Hard," "Jealous Again," "Hard To Handle" and "She Talks to Angels."

They Southern rockers reach Florida's shores in about a month: Tuesday, Sept. 7, at iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach and Wednesday, Sept. 8, at MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre on the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, just off Interstate 4. 

Lawn tickets start at $29 for both concerts. 

Sam Hunt plays at Daily's Place on Sept. 10. Fans might recall his show at the 2017 Players Championship Military Appreciation Show.

He wrote songs for the likes of Kenny Chesney, Reba McEntire, Keith Urban and others and eventually decided to launch a solo career.

Georgia native Sam Hunt has proven successful so far, with his studio debut album released in 2014, Montevallo, being nominated for a Grammy for Best Country Album. It included the hit "Leave the Night On" and "Take Your Time," with the song's video at nearly 224 million views on YouTube.

Hunt arrives in the Sunshine State next month, with a Thursday, Sept. 9, concert at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood with plenty of tickets remaining, starting at $45.
