Goo Goos, Fray play St. Petersburg's Mahaffey

   If you're upset about missing the Goo Goo Dolls when they played in Tampa two months ago, rejoice. The boys from Buffalo are returning to the area in December.

Goo Goo Dolls

   They'll be heading a show called "Mix 100.7 Acoustic Christmas" on Dec. 13. Also on the bill is the Fray and ZZ Ward.
   The Goo Goo Dolls hit it big commercially with their single "Iris" in 1998 and they've just released their ninth album, "Magnetic."
   The Fray, a rock band from Denver, had a hit with their debut album, "How to Save a Life," in 2005. Their second album entered the charts at number 1 and earned a Grammy nomination.
   ZZ Ward sings soul, blues, pop and hip-hop. She's best known for her first single, “Put the Gun Down,” released earlier this year. 
   There's also a "special guest" that the people at the Mahaffey can't confirm. But the Goo Goo Dolls site says it's Michael Franti, which would be really cool.
   Tickets are $39 are $59, and there's a $139 VIP deal with extra goodies. You can order tickets or get information by phone at 727-893-7832 or online www.themahaffey.com.
