Artist of the day: Save the Radio

Tampa bar and party band Save the Radio are busy guys. In addition to regular gigs at venues like the Dubliner in SoHo and the Green Iguana on West Shore, they often perform a mix of covers and originals at special events like Gasparilla, Guavaween and events outside the St. Pete Times Forum. When the Super Bowl came to town, they played an acoustic set alongside 3 Doors Down at the Bud Bowl at Channelside.

The band -- singer Shawn Scheller, guitarist Michael MacKewice, bassist Michael J. Marino and drummer Tony Rook -- has been together since 2007, but they've been a part of the Tampa Bay music scene since long before that. Scheller, for one, used to be in Fore and Honeyweed.

This summer, the band released their debut self-titled EP, and are working on a full-length. On Saturday, you can catch Save the Radio at the Dubliner SoHo at 10 p.m. Saturday. But several times a week, they're almost always playing somewhere.
