Murray has been the featured vocalist on nearly every recording by Walter Ostanek
since the 1970s. He sang on all 21 Grammy-nominated albums by Canada’s Polka King,
including the three award-winners. Among Murray’s best-known vocals are “Waltz of
the Angels” and Walter’s signature polka, “Jo-Ann.” As a young teen, Murray joined
his father’s country band in Ontario, Canada. He was a solo guitar and vocal performer
when he met Walter. Their musical partnership has lasted nearly fifty years. Murray’s
three-part harmony contributes to the distinctive Ostanek sound. He continues to
appear with the orchestra on television and on stage across Canada and the United
States.
