Back again on the Grande Prairie Live Theatre stage are Ray O’Toole and Gaelan Sterr. From Ragtime to Irish & East coast, polkas to Beatles songs, experiencing this unique musical combination will be a special treat!

A singer and guitar player from way back, Ray’s musical roots are firmly planted in East Coast & Irish Folk music. Though, with musical interests spanning many decades and genres, you never know what else this guy might have up his sleeve. Ray enjoys bringing a musical experience of heartfelt song and joyous laughter to his audience, with each show being truly one of a kind.
