North Beach Social: Raven & the Dark Shadows
Jul 17, 2025
From: 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM
Witness a Miami Beach icon take the stage alongside emerging local talent at the Rhythm Foundation's free monthly community concert series. North Beach Social: Raven & the Dark Shadows will take place on Thursday, July 17, at the Miami Beach Bandshell, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m.
This special edition of North Beach Social, taking place every third Thursday of the month, features Robert 'Raven' Kraft, a legendary figure known not only for his extraordinary commitment to running Miami Beach's shoreline every single day for five decades, but also for his musical talents. Kraft, who draws inspiration from Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings, performs goth-country-inflected rock alongside his band The Dark Shadows. Having recently begun collaborating with this group of musicians in 2023, Kraft has been releasing new music and performing at venues throughout the area.
The evening begins with a performance by Julia Bhatt, a young singer-songwriter and fellow Miami Beach native.
