Pop Session Music: Gold Dust Lounge
Join us for a Pop Session concert in the garden! Gold Dust Lounge makes soundtracks for imaginary films, their cinematic sound has been described as "Surf Noir" and "Shoegaze Americana”. Guitarist/composer, Russell Mofsky, takes familiar sounds and references to create a nostalgic blend of retro surf rock, ambient instrumentals, and acid jazz. This concert takes place in the Goergen Garden so bring a blanket to enjoy the show!
