WHAT WE DO
Our artists play all the songs you grew up singing, but our shows are not really about the hits, they’re about the experience. The artists we work with know that we use their music and the stories that surround it to take our audiences back to a time when life was simpler, when we believed our hopes and dreams could be realized.
Our artists know that their music gave us something that was real, something we could connect with –and they remind us of that at each of our shows. Our shows bring audiences back to a time when music mattered, when artists cared and when live entertainment was a cultural phenomenon.
PAST ARTISTS
MusicWorks connects classic rock and folk artists with the audiences that appreciate the music of the 60s and 70s.

MusicWorks creates these moments. Using our relationships throughout the entertainment industry with artists, talent agencies, managers and venues, we produce and promote shows throughout Florida.
