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).
This is the second concert I've seen this year with the most excellent Alan Doyle. He is full of energy, generous ( with fellow musicians), and wants audience participation. It was a truly great show!
Alan never disappoints, the energy is always amazing! Bringing Ed out at the end was the icing on the cake!!! One of my favourite performers!!!
I just saw Alan Doyle for the 7th time. This time it was at Budweiser Stage. I first saw him in Ottawa at Bluesfest 2023 and had such an incredible time that after the show I had to see where he was performing next. It was Toronto. I went again and as a result I have seen him 7 times in 13 months. Talented for sure with a great band, The Beautiful Beautiful Band, but the overall experience is pure enjoyment. I have seen many of the greats (The Stones, The Who, AC/DC, Bruce Springsteen...) over the years, who I still love but none of them make me feel as happy and joyful as being at an Alan Doyle concert. Get a ticket and have the most fun you will ever have.
I attended the Alan Doyle concert nicknamed "Codpalozza"at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto recently. This man knows how to create an atmosphere of pure East Coast magic. From rock to folk to ballads, Alan Doyle captivates the audience and transports them to a good old fashioned kitchen party in the Maritimes. He has wonderful stage presence and also never takes the limelight for himself. He is humble & kind in acknowledging his band mates, crew & staff. Alan Doyle is the consummate performer! ??
Can't wait for him to come back! East pointers need more stage time!
Alan Doyle and the band were oustanding and even made the best of a fire alarm leading to the venue having to be evacuated. He met fans in the street and sang songs and once allowed back in continued to rock on. Would see them anytime in area and bring friends. The venue. the Vogel was very nice and intimate vs the larger Count Basie Theater with attentive staff and doesn't seem as if there is bad seat in the place.
This is it! Alan Doyle! Alan Doyle and his Beautiful Beautiful Band had people singing and dancing from the first minute! Class and fun ooze through every minute! And his opener, Adam Baldwin was fantastic too! If you haven't seen Alan Doyle yet, make sure you do! Have a jolly fine day :-D
There is a lyric in a Great Big Sea song "I am the instrument of joy and to keep the good times rolling, I'm the boy"and that perfectly describes Alan Doyle. He and his Beautiful Band exploded onto the stage at Aura and uplifted every person in the audience. New songs, old favorites, great stories...sheer perfection. And this is not a one time thing. I have see him countless times and he never disappoints. As for the venue, it has great staff, the audio was great. I was surprised it had been open 7 years as I never heard of it until the promotion of Alan's gig there. I certainly plan to return.
OUTSTANDING SHOW-CAN NEVER GO WRONG SEEING ALAN DOYLE LIVE !!!!! ADAM BALDWIN WAS AN ADDITIONAL GIFT. AND AURA IS A REMARKABLE, INTIMATE, WELL APPOINTED, CONVIENENT VENUE
I went to shows in Bethel NY, Boston and Portland ME. All were fantastic! I've been to over 1,000 shows since my first one back in 1974. I've seen many of the major rock artists and these have to be some of the most enjoyable shows I've ever seen! Alan Doyle & The Beautiful Beautiful Band are excellent musicians and highly engaged with the audience. Alan's songs about, in his words "murderous pirates, drinking songs and bad choices on Friday night"turn the night into a total musical party that all can enjoy!
