About MusicWorks Concerts
MusicWorks has been bringing artists and music lovers together for over a decade. Our mission is to cultivate an experience for our community that allows them to travel back in time when music played a powerful role in their lives. The artists we hand-select play music that ignites our nostalgia and keeps us singing and dancing in the aisles.
Our founder, Rusty Young, envisioned bringing his love of live music to people everywhere, enabling them to relive some of the greatest moments of their lives. He excelled at matching A-list artists and exceptional tribute shows to audiences eager to attend live performances. We continue that tradition, seeking to carry on Rusty’s legacy by bringing MusicWorks into the future with more great artists and tributes from the '70s, '80s, and '90s.
"I promised myself I would change careers and do something that mattered to me and would make a difference. I also wanted to have some fun. I always had an interest in live music and entertainment. I decided to turn that into a vocation not just an allocation."
- Rusty Young
"It's a great world where people can get together and have a night of fun and music and nothing but fun and music"

In Memoriam : Rusty Young
Since creating MusicWorks in 2010, Rusty had promoted and presented hundreds of events in major markets throughout Florida. He also produced Live! from Vero Beach and Classic Folk and Rock in Delray. Working with artists like Judy Collins, Felix Cavaliere's Rascals, Leon Russell, Al Stewart, The Weight, the Yardbirds, Vanilla Fudge, the Kingston Trio, Peter Yarrow, Blood, Sweat&Tears, John Sebastian, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, Karla Bonoff, America, Bruce Hornsby, Christopher Cross, Dave Mason and Janis Ian, MusicWorks specializes in connecting classic rock and folk acts with markets, audiences, and venues that appreciate the music of the 60s and 70s. Previously, he was the founder and CEO of the Count Basie Theatre Foundation. In this capacity, he took the Foundation through all stages of early development and successfully built relationships in the corporate, entertainment and philanthropic industries. While at the Foundation, he produced and promoted numerous benefit concerts for the Theatre and for other local and national nonprofits. He used music and benefit concerts to raise the $15 million needed to complete an historic renovation of the Theatre. He also consulted to a number of performing artists and arts venues, assisting them with revenue enhancement efforts, event planning, contact management, donor campaigns and business management.
