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).
Absolutely amazing concert! Alan and band were very entertaining. Definitely would see them again if they came back. Front row seats…. Well worth it!
Alan Doyle and the BBB rocked the house! One of their best concerts ever! Adam Baldwin was great too! Love seeing East Coast talent making it big!
Alan is an awesome entertainer! He has the whole arena on their feet most of the night. He's engaging, and looks like he's enjoying himself. 100% recommend!!
I’ve been a Great Big Sea fan for close to 30 years and I was not disappointed! Brought back lots of memories and all of the newer music was great as well. Amazing venue and backup band. Adam Baldwin is also an amazing singer and musician. I’m proud to say I have some family ties to him, and now I’m also a fan. I didn’t want the night to end. Can’t say enough good things about the entire night!
I have seen Alan Doyle 4 times now, and I can't wait for the 5th!!! Deadly b'y!
Absolutely fantastic, Alan Doyle is a genuinely true gentleman and put on a great show with a fantastic band! The Scotiabank Center was vibrating!!!!
As usual Alan and the Beautiful beautiful band put on a great show. Everyone up dancing and clapping. A great start to the St. Patrick's Day celebration! Adam Baldwin was also a nice way to start the night. Good job.
Alan Doyle is an awesome performer!!! I could watch him and the band play over and over! He rocks! The stadium closed drinks down too early. It was ridiculous.
We had an awesome night, dancing, singing and clapping the night away. Alan Doyle Rocks❤️❤️
Alan had everyone up and dancing. His stories are hilarious. Adam Baldwin was also amazing. Ordinary day with both Alan and Adam was my favourite!
