We’re also really psyched to be working with a legendary amusement park that Gavin (Goszka) and I both grew up in.” Charles Bradshaw, Corporate V.P. of Entertainment for Cedar Fair, added, “Working with these industry leading music producers on a live show is an exciting prospect. The final product is going to amaze.”
