He knew Crowbar was going to close five years before it happened.

When Tom extended the lease in 2021, he knew the 20-year anniversary in 2026 would mark the end of Crowbar in Ybor City. Having that timeline allowed him to prepare for the closure and use Crowbar’s story to advocate for independent venues across the country through NIVA.

Tom DeGeorge is the owner of Crowbar in Ybor City and an outspoken advocate for independent music venues.

🚨ONE WEEK AWAY🚨

Until Tampa’s independent music community comes together for a special night of live music at @coppertailbrewing, all in support of building what comes next ⏭️

Featuring @bangarangtampa, @petlizard813, @discordtheory, @wulfgangamadeusmusic, and @kristopherjamesmusic, the October 1st benefit will help @tommybfld secure funding for a new independent music venue in Tampa ❤️

After more than 20 years, Crowbar Ybor closed its doors this past July. The venue may be gone, but the artists, community, and people who made it special are still here 🤝

Now, we have an opportunity to turn that energy into something new. Not a recreation of what came before, but a space built for the future of Tampa’s independent music scene‼️

No set ticket price. Pay what you can at the door. Every contribution helps make a new home for live music possible 🎟️

If you can’t make the concert you can still help out by heading to our kickstarter and supporting our campaign through the link in our bio or going to floridamaverick.com 🔗
