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).
Alan Doyle always puts on a great show. The music, the band and the stories are so entertaining. And Adam Baldwin, the opening act was excellent. A great musician and singer as well as a very funny story teller. This was overall a wonderful evening.
Amazing show. The energy of the audience was contagious!
Alan Doyle was at his brilliant best as were the members of his band! But an unexpected delight was being introduced to Adam Baldwin, his opening act, whose banter with the audience was as entertaining as his beautifully crafted musical performance. One of the finest shows in years!!!
I have seen Alan several times and he never disappoints. Seats were tight though
I love Massey Hall and I've seen Alan before so I knew I was in for a treat. Alan and his talented band were on top form and it was a great show. Glad we made it for Adam Baldwin - very enjoyable. Even the TTC behaved itself so absolutely zero complaints on the night. Well done all.
I got a taste of Newfoundland music several years ago when I visited there. I now feel like that I've experienced a real Kitchen Party. Fabulous entertainer. So glad that I went. Loved the fiddle and accordian player and the stories that were told. I didn't know a lot of the words to the music, but I could still clap along. Will definitely attend another.
Awesomeness!! Fun, entertaining, grest night out! Allan Doyle never disappoints
It’s nice to see a musician who appreciates the historical significance of the venue. And the event is just as important to him as it is to the audience. Amazing music and connection with the crowd.
Another amazing show! Alan rocked it! And the band was excellent!! Adam Baldwin was also really good!
Massey Hall is an iconic venue and Alan Doyle and the Beautiful Beautiful band were so amazing!! I am a long time fan of Alan Doyle and it was his best concert yet! People were clapping and dancing and it was a fantastic show!! Enjoyed it immensely!
The concert was great and the experience with Ticketmaster was positive and seamless, thank you!
I have never seen such sustained energy and joy onstage in all my life!! They were so humble and thrilled to be playing at Massey Hall. Such camaraderie and respect amongst band members. I have been to a lot of concerts in my life and this rates up with Bowie, Stones and Springsteen. And they're Canadian! Cherry on the cake!
This was definitely one of the VERY BEST concerts I have attended! Adam Baldwin, who opened for Alan, was incredible - very talented and funny; a true entertainer. I will be attending Alan Doyle concerts whenever I can; he sure knows how to get the crowd involved. Alan Doyle is a Canadian gem!!!!!
Amazing experience, he sounds just as good live as recorded, maybe even better if that’s possible! Great stage presence and just seems like a really down to earth guy. His band is also amazing, love the music, incredible show for all ages!
Alan, When will there be a GBS reunion? It’s long over due. You and Sean need to Have a cup of team and get over your differences.
Wow wow wow! So much fun dancing and singing. We stood for most of the concert. It was a blast. A good mix of the new album and older stuff. Most knew the lyrics and sang along. Loved it. Great musicians as well.
We had a blast at the concert! Allan and his fellow band members put on a memorable evening of fun. Their engagement with the audience makes you feel like they’re your personal friends.
My husband and I had a wonderful time at this concert! I don't think anyone sat down for most of the concert... The musicians were second to none, I especially loved the fiddle and accordion players as you don't hear those everyday. Alan was his usual charming self and kept the crowd entertained. The venue was great with very comfortable seats and room to move around.
Alan Doyle is a fabulous entertainer, it felt like we were in a house party with friends and family having a whale of a good time. I highly recommend, and will see Alan Doyle again in the summer, for sure!
Alan and the Beautiful Beautiful Band NEVER disappoint! This is show number 6 for me and I would love to see them a bunch more times! Keep it up!
