Kicking off the 2023-24 GPLT Folk Roots and Blues Concert series on September 27 @7:30 pm are two great Canadian Performers. Gunning & Cormier go back 23 years when Dave had a fiddle player drop out of a show at the last minute. “He hired me for a gig when I was just back from Nashville, nobody knew me here,” says Cormier.

“We were totally blown away by J.P.’s playing,” recalls Gunning. “I remember him saying if you ever do a CD, I want to play on it.” That happened, and much more. They played together and wrote together whenever they could, coming up with songs that graced both their projects, over the years showered with awards and nominations on the East Coast and nationally.

“Dave is such a part of my life,” says Cormier. “Dave is like my family, he’s like a blood relative to me, and he’s always been that way. ” Gunning feels the same way. “Absolutely, we just became fast friends, and we’ve been working together ever since.

The demand for tickets to Always Patsy Cline has been amazing! A sold out opening night with a STANDING OVATION! So we decided to add a special Sunday matinee. October 1 @2 pm. Tickets for this special performance are now on sale.

Always Patsy Cline, a captivating, toe tapping, sing along musical at GPLT from September 21 to October 7 –created and originally directed by Ted Swindley.
Based on a true story, Always Patsy Cline.
Director: Rick Hryciuk

Always… Patsy Cline is a heartfelt celebration of the legendary country songstress. From the moment Texas housewife Louise Seger first heard Patsy Cline’s voice, she was hooked. After quickly becoming Cline’s biggest fan, Louise was able to meet her idol before a show one surprising evening in Houston. That night sparked a deep friendship between the two women which continued through the years, writing letters to each other as Cline’s fame skyrocketed. Years after Cline’s tragic death, Louise reminisces on their friendship and her love for the singer. Based on a true story, the musical features all of Patsy Cline’s greatest hits and a heartfelt, down home good time.
