April 10th 2013 | Steve Poltz w/ Guest Marc Sirdoreous at the Independent Bar Tampa

Songwriter Steve Poltz w/ Guest Marc Sirdoreous at the Independent Bar & Cafe TampaAmong the music cognoscenti, Steve Poltz is regarded as one of the most talented and prolific songwriters of our time. His songs have been among the longest running ever on the Billboard Top 100 and they regularly appear in movie soundtracks, television shows, and even the odd commercial.

As relentless as he is in concert, he is also the guy who famously co-wrote the timeless ballad “You Were Meant For Me” with platinum-selling songwriter Jewel. Of course, because we’re talking about Steve Poltz, it should surprise no one to learn that the song was written on a lazy Mexican beach, where Poltz and Jewel were soon snapped up and sequestered by Mexican Federales and required to witness and eventually assist in a large marijuana bust on the beach. Don’t believe it? See for yourself in the pictures on his web site.

This is a great chance to see a fun performance in an intimate setting. Mark your calendars!
