Crowes return for another round of fiery jams marked by the finger-licking prowess of North Mississippi Allstars guitarist Luther Dickinson. The tour supports the release of the band’s eighth studio effort, Before the Frost…Until the Freeze, a different sort of double album recorded before a live studio audience at Levon Helm’s Woodstock, N.Y. studio. The CD (Before the Frost) includes 11 new songs and a download code for Until The Freeze, a complementary collection of eight more original Crowes’ tunes and a cover of Stephen Stills’ classic “So Many Times.” Truth & Salvage Co. open.

On display through the end of October. Florida Craftsmen, 501 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, floridacraftsmen.net.
At this month’s theme-oriented gallery tour, Coffee with a Curator, sip complimentary Starbucks coffee while docent Vickie Brunner discusses “Dali and Math.” Wed., Oct. 7, 10:15 a.m., Salvador Dali Museum, 1000 Third St. S., St. Petersburg, salvadordalimuseum.org.
