PACT: Poetry and Sax Album Benefit Concert and Showcase

TICKETS Reserved: $55, $45. General Admission: $25 ($20 adv. rate until 10/1) Doors at 5pm | Show at 6pm Presented by Zeta the Babe The PACT: Poetry and Sax Benefit Concert & Showcase is a semi-theatrical benefit concert created and hosted by Zeta The Babe—a nationally recognized sultry vocalist and saxophonist whose performances have inspired audiences across Tampa Bay, Houston, and beyond. Known for her unique blend of live instrumentation and emotional storytelling, Zeta invites you into a one-night-only experience that blurs the lines between open mic, concert, and stage play. Structured like a narrative open mic, it centers around Zeta as the host and main character, guiding the audience through a vulnerable journey of poetry, music, and self-reflection. Collaborators will take the stage in a rotating format to perform their pieces live, with the support of Triopolitan—Zeta’s crossover jazz and neo-soul band, making their official debut as a named ensemble with music now streaming on all major platforms. Adding a unique and immersive layer to the evening, the VIP experience includes silent-disco-style headphones for guests who purchase Reserved Seating Tier A or B. Before each live performance, VIP attendees will hear a short, pre-recorded monologue from the artist—sharing the thoughts, emotions, or inspiration behind their piece. It’s a rare opportunity to step inside the creative mind and experience each performance on a deeper, more personal level. Described as “the most vulnerable open mic in the world,” this show isn’t just a concert—it’s a statement. A space where truth is honored, artistry is amplified, and connection is the goal. A portion of all proceeds go to the nonprofit The Studio @620 to support the arts within the City of St. Petersburg and encourage the community to tap into art of any medium as a tool for deeper self-discovery. An independent producer/presenter has rented the theater for this performance; it is not programmed by the Palladium at SPC. Whether in the main concert hall, Hough Hall with its unsurpassed new sound system, or kicking back in the intimate Side Door Cabaret, the historic Palladium Theater is consistently ranked as one of Tampa Bay’s best, most affordable venues for classical, jazz, blues, theatre, opera, comedy, dance, educational, literary, community events, and more. The Palladium, located in downtown St. Petersburg’s cultural center, is part of what makes Tampa Bay great.
