TAMPA, FL--(Marketwire - Apr 17, 2012) - While your usual soundtrack for summer may include splashing water, chirping birds and laughing children, the Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel is looking to add a few more to your list with its R Life Live concert series at its Italian restaurant in Tampa.
Pelagia Trattoria, located within this Westshore hotel in Tampa, FL, is hosting free live music every Wednesday night from 5 to 7pm starting in April 2012. The performances, held in the open-air patio adjacent to the restaurant, feature regional and local musicians from a wide range of genres including jazz, blues, progressive rock and world music.
"This time of year it's inviting to sit outdoors," Jim Bartholomay, general manager of this Four Diamond-rated property, says. "The Pelagia patio offers a setting where guests may enjoy the award-winning cuisine of the restaurant, select from beers, wine and specialty drinks and relax while listening to great music." The patio is also home to a chef's garden, featuring fresh herbs, tomatoes and more, creating an aromatic and romantic setting for concert attendees.
Artists confirmed for April include Brazilian recording artist Paulo Lara on April 18 and Thaddeus Wiley on April 24. May and June will host additional artists, who will play a variety of indoor and outdoor venues within this Tampa, FL hotel and restaurant.
Guests attending the shows can enjoy discounts on food and drinks on concert days, while additional nights host other specials, including National Amaretto Day on April 19, National Jelly Bean Weekend on April 21 and 22 and a free "Wine" Not Learn More educational tasting event on April 27.
