Alan Doyle on Tour
In 2019, Alan Doyle released the single "We Don't Wanna Go Home," a duet with B.C. country star Dean Brody. It's a title that perfectly sums up Doyle's career on the road. As frontman for Canadian roots-rock institution Great Big Sea, he spread the beery good cheer from coast to coast and beyond for the better part of 20 years, and since that band's dissolution in 2013, he's continued to live up to his well-earned road-warrior reputation as a solo artist. Backed by his reliable support crew The Beautiful Beautiful Band, Doyle delivers a healthy serving of Great Big Sea classics and selections from his three solo albums to date: Boy On Bridge (2012), So Let's Go (2015) and A Week at the Warehouse (2017). An Alan Doyle show is both an occasion to have a good time and to support a good cause — he's known to donate proceeds from ticket sales to mental-health and addiction-treatment organizations.
Alan Doyle in Concert
As a singer/guitarist for the rambunctious roots combo Great Big Sea, Alan Doyle helped transform the Newfoundland band from regional pub phenomenon into one of Canada's most successful and celebrated bands. Between their 1993 formation and 2013 dissolution, the group racked up seven Top 10 placements and 11 Juno Award nominations. And since launching his solo career with 2012's Boy on Bridge, he hasn't relented in his lifelong mission to deliver joyously anthemic, pint-sloshing, Celtic-kissed singalongs. But Doyle's musical pursuits have run parallel to an eclectic acting career that includes credits in such films as Winter's Tale and Ridley Scott's Robin Hood. (Fittingly, he's developed an ongoing creative partnership with another singing actor, Russell Crowe, who invited Doyle to write for his 2005 album, My Hand, My Heart, leading to a full-album collaboration between the two, The Crowe/Doyle Songbook, Vol. III, in 2011.) Doyle's myriad achievements earned him entry into the Order of Canada in 2017, and he's reflected upon his charmed life in two bestselling memoirs, Where I Belong (2014) and A Newfoundlander in Canada (2018).
We thoroughly enjoyed the entire concert. Alan Doyle was fantastic and my only regret is that I didn’t buy my tickets sooner and be closer to the stage to really see him. It was an incredible experience and there was so much joy. Loved it!
Amazing concert and performance. Alan and the band of talented musicians were fantastic!
Great opener! Amazing headliner! Alan Doyle entertained us and It felt like a maritime kitchen party
Alan Doyle and his beautiful band were fantastic. He played his new songs inter mingled with the hits. A true professional and genuine down to earth Newfoundlander. He had the crowd on their feet in the last half, dancing and singing along. If you felt a little down before his band came on, you left the concert feeling rejuvenated and part of a wonderful experience with over 4000 fans. His band mates were excellent musicians and you could tell they were enjoying themselves. Hats off to Alan for a wonderful evening. Well Done!
The Alan Doyle concert itself was amazing! It was a great time, the man is truly a master entertainer and extremely talented. The venue, however, is horrible. The seats are so close together you’re sitting on top of each other. Why even have arm rests on the chairs, you can’t put your arms down. And if you want to stand up and dance, at a concert, forget it. There isn’t enough room to sway, let alone get a good bounce on. They’ve sacrificed customer comfort for money, sadly. So if you’re going to see anything with friends be ready to become VERY good friends. And if you’re sitting next to a stranger, well you won’t be strangers anymore and I don’t mean that in a good way.
Adam Baldwin started us off with a fabulous set. Love having Local Talent shine. Alan Doyle did not disappoint. So upbeat. Love that he not only has terrific new songs but can embrace the "old stuff"that we all love to sing along with. Great show
If you aren't up dancing and singing during an Alan Doyle concert you must be in a coma. What an entertainer. Get ready for a Maritime kitchen party, you will love it.
Alan Doyle and the beautiful beautiful band put on an amazing show! Loved every minute of it! Thank you!! Hope to see you again soon!!
Alan Doyle puts on an amazing show! Please bring him back to Scotiabank Centre soon!
It was an awesome experience as always. Can’t wait to see his concert again next time he’s in Halifax.
It was so good to see Alan Doyle back on stage with many new and old songs. Crowd was totally into it. Awesome time.
I was impressed that everything was on time. And what two great shows. Adam was a wonderful pianist and all of his band gave us wonderful songs! Alan and his crew were definitely on top. I especially liked the fiddler. (My only sad was that Alan did not perform his new song, “Old Hands.”) I also liked how so many people got into the show very quickly and out again. Imagine 4000 listeners…..
Alan Doyle is a Canadian Treasure that must be protected at all costs. We enjoyed every minute of his show in Halifax and were singing and dancing to so many of his great songs. A true talent and entertainer who deserves every success! His songs and lyrics are can be both profound and fun and he knows how to put on an amazing show! Hardest working man in Canada!
An amazing night of “up on da feet” fun! Alan and the band were awesome and that hockey rink( in Halifax) was no challenge for them…. Best kitchen party ever! Adam Baldwin was also a fantastic opener-love our local talent. ❤️
Alan Doyle is a true entertainer and a very talented singer/songwriter. Opening act with Adam Baldwin was great, the band exceptional and, as always, Alan Doyle in Halifax is good for the soul. Loved it!
Alan Doyle is the ultimate entertainer. He had the whole place rocking. One of the best entertainers ever. Will go see him again any time.
Alan Doyle never ceases to amaze the crowd no matter where he performs. His unique voice and fun personality will always be his trademark to many of his fans. Keep sharing your remarkable talent to all.
