Wait a second -- Plain White T's and Natasha Bedingfield are coming to Tampa Bay next month? Who knew?

The folks at 93.3-FLZ did. And they told us. So now we're passing along news about how you can score tickets to their secret acoustic shows and meet-and-greets at the 50-seat Best Buy Musical Instruments Theatre in Tampa.

After John Mayer performed there earlier this month, we had a feeling the floodgates might open for more big-name artists to come in and perform short acoustic shows. Sure enough, a new crop of acts is coming in October. Two of them, the T's and Bedingfield, are only here for promotional purposes -- so if you want to see them in town, this is your only chance.
