Ocean Drive Promenade Series: Gold Dust Lounge at Lummus Park – Miami Beach, FL

A free, weekly concert series presented by the Ocean Drive Association. Pack a picnic blanket or lawn chair to stake out your seat on the lawn. Showtime is at 5:00 PM.

Known variously as a lead guitarist, clawhammer banjo player, composer, and sonic explorer, Russell Mofsky has spent decades mapping his way across a wide musical terrain. Guided by curiosity, his arc runs from the late-’80s Miami punk underground with his seminal band Quit, to nearly two decades of the cinematic instrumental music of Gold Dust Lounge, and on to rich new layers of the trance-like grooves of American roots music, and back again. The journey has been shaped by the geographies that inspire his sound, from Miami’s vibrant creative scene, to the wide horizons of American vernacular traditions, and the gritty clubs and homemade vert ramps of his youth. Whether it’s on stage at a punk show, playing a desert-noir soundtrack for an imaginary film, or deep in the hypnotic pulse of an Appalachian old-time jam, it’s all a part of the rich musical world of Russell Mofsky.

These events (every Sunday!) are free and open to the public-- and will take place in Lummus Park between 14th Street and 14th Place. Rainy-day location is inside The Betsy Hotel!

This program is part of the weekly Promenade Sunday Concert Series generously underwritten by The City of Miami Beach, The GMCVB and The Ocean Drive Association.
