Skipper's Smokehouse, 910 Skipper Road, Tampa, FL

Cure your summertime blues with your wholigan friends from WMNF and 30 of the Bay Area's best bands as we celebrate the bombastic and iconoclastic music and spirit of the Who with a day-long tribute on Saturday, June 24, 2006 from noon to midnight. Each band or solo performer will do their interpretation of three classic Who songs each.

"The Who Are Alright - An All Day Tribute to the Who" will be held at
Skipper's Smokehouse, 910 Skipper Road in Tampa, FL.

In addition to each artist doing three songs by the Who there will be three special performances at "The Who Are Alright."

1.) "Anyway, anyhow, anywhere..."-from 1 to 2 pm WMNF will hold an open mic for Tampa Bay's best emerging talent-any solo artist can show up and perform one Who song. There will be time for about 10 performers so anyone interested should get there early and sign up.

2.) "Substitute" electricity for acoustics during the acoustic afternoon set. For two hours about 4-6pm see musicians interpret songs by the Who acoustically.

3.) "See them, feel them...." At the end of the night the grand finale
will a re-creation of the classic rock opera Tommy, with Tampa Bay's best surf/lounge/rock band, the Vodkanauts, backing up singers such as Ed Woltil, Ken Logan, Brian Merrill, Steven Tanner, Freight Train Annie, Steve Alex, Jonathan Harrison and Ricky Wilcox.
