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).

Best concert ever! Alan Doyle puts on a good time!
The show was amazing! But the duds behind us who had no idea what kind of party they were attending were a real downer, at least until Alan finally suggested that everyone get up and dance. Seriously fun after that, Alan Doyle and his band of amazing performers were so much fun to spend an evening with!
I really liked when Alan gets with the crowd, he’s excellent with getting everyone going. The one thing I enjoyed the most is when everyone got on their feet and sang along and clapped.
I have been an Allen fan since his great big C days I've literally been a fan for 25 or 26 years I saw him at grape wine I saw him in a lot of places and even went to St. John's Newfoundland to watch great big C in their Hometown unbelievably amazing the show was fantastic and I love the mix of new and old songs being played
Fantastic show. Great audience participation. Truly down home person. Truly enjoys performing.
My boyfriend and I took my mom and her partner to see this. It was incredible! Alan's storytelling is a great compliment to his music. We really enjoyed his fiddler, Kendel. My mom had only heard Great Big Sea in the car on our NL roadtrip and really enjoyed it. Then she swooned over Alan when she saw him on the jumbotron (Alan, did you know you have "bedroom eyes"? Lmao!) And the opening act, Fortunate Ones, was also great. Downloaded some of their tunes when we got home. A great night!!
Alan Doyle didn't disappoint. The energy throughout the whole concert was high. It was like being at a Kitchen party in Newfoundland with 5000 of your good friends. The music and story telling brought everyone together. He played lots of favourites of his own albums, as well as from Great Big Sea. So much fun!
By far one of the best concerts I've been too, perhaps because I'm also from Newfoundland and I thoroughly enjoy this type of music. I love classical instruments like the violin and accordion and when it's paired with upbeat folk songs, I just can't help but dance and sing! I grew up on Great Big Sea and this is my second time seeing Alan Doyle perform. Makes me look forward to my move back home next year!
One of the best concerts I've EVER been to!! Boy the east coasters really know how to put on a show. I've never been to a concert where pretty much all 5,000 people were stomping, jumping, and dancing. Alan Doyles voice is incredible live, as it is on a recording. The venue sounds was superb.
Great night, Alan is amazing performer, no seating down at this concert. Everyone dancing, singing and having a great time.
