St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch recently presented his fiscal year 2024 budget recommendations to the city council with multiple fiscal highlights added following preliminary reviews in the spring.

Digital music or physical product? Local artists discuss

St. Petersburg rhythm ‘n’ blues vocalist Alex Harris has a new song out there, and it’s starting to get national attention. But you can’t buy it on a CD, or a slab of vinyl. Not yet, anyway.

“Lose My Religion,” which finds the baritone belter in full octave-leaping Al Green mode, with a smooth band and chunky horn section, is only available digitally – that is, it can be streamed, or downloaded or both, for a price.
