Maroon 5 comes to town
You've probably heard the group's songs, especially This Love, all over the radio, VH1 and MTV: This love has taken its toll on me/ She said Goodbye too many times before/ And her heart is breaking in front of me/ I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore. Maybe you saw the group walk away with the best new artist Grammy in February, the one Kanye West expected to take home. Now you can catch Maroon 5 live. The quintet plays the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa tonight. The Donnas open. The show starts at 7:30. $35. (813) 301-2500.Famous voices for Easter
Most church choirs only dream of these kinds of voices. The Without Walls International Church will feature Motown great Patti LaBelle, country queen Loretta Lynn, contemporary gospel singer Fred Hammond and country newcomer Josh Turner at its Easter service at 9 a.m. Sunday. To accommodate the crowds, the service will be held at the St. Pete Times Forum. Free. (813) 879-4673.
Egg hunts get cracking
Old Peter Cottontail is going to be a busy guy this weekend. Some of the bigger Easter egg hunts around the area, all free, include: Gulfport SpringFest and Easter Egg Hunt, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, with the hunt at 10 a.m. along the Gulfport waterfront; Eggstravaganza!, by WWRM-FM 94.9 and the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, 9-11 a.m. Saturday on the center's grounds, downtown Tampa.
