All proceeds from the ‘Miracle on 97th St’ event, put on by Gonzo Okanagan, 97 Street Pub and Best Western Plus Hotels & Suites on Sunday December 10th, 2023, will be generously donated to Gonzo Fundraising Association and will in turn, be put towards funding for financially struggling, local families to assist keeping their children in music lessons with our local independent music instructors!

Brad Krauza - Publisher
Brad Krauza – Musician, Publisher & Entrepreneur Brad Krauza is a bassist, vocalist, acoustic guitarist, publisher, promoter, and CEO with more than 35 years of experience in the music and entertainment industry. First and foremost, he proudly considers himself a father, son, brother, and uncle, but music and community have always been at the heart of everything he does. A lifelong performer and passionate music fan, Brad has spent decades on stage delivering high-energy live performances while building a reputation as a tireless promoter and marketing powerhouse within the industry. As a bassist and vocalist, Brad’s love for performing is simple and genuine — he loves to sing, play, and share the experience of live music with audiences. 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. When everyone is feeling that same vibe, it’s magic.” — Brad Krauza Over the past three decades, Brad has demonstrated a unique blend of creative vision, compassion, leadership, and strong marketing instincts, helping artists, venues, and events thrive. His work has included concert promotions ranging from local showcases to major international touring acts, including performances featuring artists such as INXS, Randy Travis, Creed, and Anthrax. Beyond performing and promoting, Brad is also the founder and publisher of Gonzo Okanagan, an influential arts, music, and entertainment platform that serves the Okanagan and beyond. Through the platform and its earlier print publication, Gonzo Magazine, Brad has interviewed and featured internationally recognized artists and celebrities including **The Offspring, Nicolas Cage, Drew Barrymore, Steven Spielberg, Angelina Jolie, Adam Sandler, and Martina McBride. Brad’s career has also extended into sales, publishing, marketing, web design, and digital media, all of which complement his lifelong dedication to supporting artists and growing the regional music community. 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.
