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.

Joining Ray on stage once again will be Gaelan Sterr. Having played the piano since childhood, Gaelan has discovered his own musical niche in his solo piano performances and compositions. Taking inspiration from a blend of genres including ragtime, classical, minimalist, film score and more, Gaelan takes his audience on a musical journey that is both comical and inspiring.

Ray and Gaelan look forward to having you join them for a night you will never forget!
