Edwards announces St. Pete concerts, acts
ST. PETERSBURG (FOX 13) - Businessman and philanthropist Bill Edwards announced live music and entertainment events are coming to St. Petersburg this summer.
Edwards says top acts, including Poison and Grammy-award-winning Lauryn Hill, will be a part of a concert series dubbed “Al Lang Live.”
Over at the Mahaffey Theater, former vice president Joe Biden will make a stop during his “American Promise Tour.” Magician David Blaine and Donny and Marie will also bring their show to the theater.
