ST. PETE SONS JOIN LEGENDARY ROCK ACTS FOGHAT & NAZARETH AT FERG’S PAVILION
LOCAL ROCK ICONS ADDED TO MASSIVE CLASSIC ROCK TRIPLE BILL — THURSDAY, MAY 14, 2026
Formed in 2018 by longtime bandmates Billy Wells and Shane Wanek — musicians who have shared stages together since the late 1980s through projects including Men From Earth, Gunburner, and Dead Dove — St. Pete Sons was built around a simple philosophy: music rules all. Joined by bassist Dave Cassell and occasionally featuring Billy’s son, River Wells, the band delivers an authentic, straight-ahead blend of musicianship, storytelling, and classic influences spanning multiple genres and generations.
ST. PETERSBURG, FL — The main stage across from Tropicana Field will be rocking Thursday night as legendary classic rock acts Foghat and Nazareth are now joined by iconic Tampa Bay regional favorites St. Pete Sons for an unforgettable triple-bill concert event at Ferg’s Pavilion on Thursday, May 14, 2026. For Ferg’s Pavilion, the addition of St. Pete Sons represents more than simply adding another band to the lineup — it is a celebration of the deep musical roots and enduring rock-and-roll spirit of St. Petersburg and the greater Tampa Bay region.
Known for their raw live energy and genuine connection with audiences, St. Pete Sons have become respected torchbearers of Tampa Bay’s local rock scene, embracing a sound and atmosphere rooted in real instruments, real songs, and real people.
“We’re excited to add St. Pete Sons to this already incredible show,” said Ferg’s Pavilion owner Mark Ferguson. “This now becomes a true classic rock triple bill and one of those Thursday nights people will be talking about for years. At Ferg’s Pavilion, we believe in supporting local and regional talent whenever we can place them on our main stage alongside national touring acts. Tampa Bay has an amazing music scene, and we’re proud to help showcase it.”
With Nazareth members traveling internationally from Scotland and Foghat continuing their legendary touring legacy across North America, the event reflects Ferg’s Pavilion’s ongoing commitment to bringing nationally recognized entertainment to downtown St. Petersburg while also creating opportunities for respected local artists to share the spotlight.
