More than 500 people attended the second annual 27/82 Benefit Concert at the State Theatre on Thursday, June 28. Mary Lambert, who helped write the hit “Same Love” headlined the show and girl-group Hunter Valentine of Showtime’s The Real L Word kicked off the high-energy show.
St. Pete Pride board president Aaron Horcha attended the concert, and said he was happy with ticket sales.
“It’s growing,” he said outside the theater. “I’m pleased with the response and I think it’ll continue to get better each year.”
Also spotted at the concert were City Council members Darden Rice and Amy Foster, who is a former board member of St. Pete Pride.
“This is the perfect way to kick off Pride,” said Erica Hayes of Tampa. Hayes attended the concert with a group of friends who live throughout Tampa Bay. “I didn’t get to come to this last year and I was so bummed. But this is incredible and if it’s back in 2015, I’ll be the first one to get a ticket.”
