After the concert, make sure you make plans to continue the party with us at Motorworks Brewing! You never know who you may run into!

Just a couple of days away!!!

We are delighted to be partnering with Rock The MAC on what will surely be one of Bradenton's biggest live music events of 2024!

Motorworks will be hosting the afterparty for this show, featuring tributes to two of the biggest rock bands of the 80s - Boston and Heart! Get your tickets while you still can, because I have "More Than A Feeling" this event will sell out fast, and "These Dreams" are coming true.
