Eclectic duo Johnnyswim perfoms in Tampa


   Johnnyswim is a terrible name for a band, but it’s a really good band. Husband-and-wife team Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano write beautiful songs and sing them beautifully, with voices that blend in a stunning way.
   They’ve been knocking around the music scene for years, but with their new album “Diamonds” – their second full-length release, which came out last month -- and some high-profile TV appearances in recent months, they seem as though they may be on the verge of breaking

through.
   They’re coming to Jaeb Theater, one of the smaller spaces in the Straz Center for the Performing Arts, at 7:30 p.m. July 26. It should be an ideal venue for their ethereal music.
   Tickets are $20 plus service charge. Call 813-229-7827 or go to strazcenter.com.
   Sudano, by the way, is the daughter of Donna  Summer, and toured with her mom as a backup singer for several years.
