In these very difficult time, the importance of making changes and following health and safety rules is at the utmost of importance. I was very happy to see so many protocols put into place at the Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon this past week as we  were invited for a tour at what they had put in place to keep us safe, healthy and continuing in supporting so many of the storefronts inside the mall and the community. I felt confident that they had put everything into place and the rest was up to us to follow the steps!

For Brad, live music represents something deeper than entertainment. It’s about connection. The energy exchanged between performers and audiences is what keeps him inspired. “There’s nothing like the energy of live music — from the stage to the seats.

Today, Brad continues to champion live music and creative culture throughout the Okanagan, working to spotlight local artists, promote new music, and bring people together through unforgettable live experiences. His mission remains simple: support the music community, inspire audiences, and keep the spirit of rock & roll alive. “Music is something people need in their lives. If we can help fill people’s cups with great music and positive energy, then we’re doing something right.” Be safe… and let’s ROCK ’N’ ROLL.
