 Originally from Toronto, Brad Klucowicz moved to St. John’s, NL in 2018 and quickly became immersed in the traditional music scene of the city. With familial roots in Fox Harbour, Placentia Bay, Brad learned the basics of the button accordion as a child by watching his Grandfather and uncles. Despite rarely playing the accordion throughout his teens and 20s, he developed a life long appreciation for the culture and traditional music of Newfoundland. Brad returned to his musical roots and began playing the accordion again in 2018, and has not looked back. Moving to Newfoundland rekindled his interest in traditional music, deepened his connection to Newfoundland and stoked his interest in the musical connection between Newfoundland and Ireland. This interest became an obsession, which  is evident in his extensive repertoire of traditional Newfoundland and Irish music, which he shares with willing – and unwilling – listeners each weekend in downtown St. John’s.
