One by one, the band members of Umphrey’s McGee settle into their respective places on stage, tuning their instruments and taking that final sip of water or something stronger in preparation for the rock show ahead.

When Gideon Plotnicki moved to Miami from New York City in the summer of 2019, he couldn t have known that starting his life in a new city would be derailed by COVID-19.
Plotnicki, 33, had parted ways with his longtime home with the larger vision of bringing his decade’s worth of experience in the concert industry specifically within the jam-band, funk, and jazz-fusion genres to a city already rich with culture and a world-famous nightlife reputation to match. With the launch of his own company, GMP Live, Plotnicki is banking on the potential for Miami music fans to embrace the funk sounds native to New Orleans and the openness of jam-band culture in the same way they’ve embraced electronic music and hip-hop and he’s doing it at Miami Beach’s open-air North Beach Bandshell.
