HERE, TONIGHT (LIVE) || LISTEN

ST JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND. - Alan Doyle, Canadian national treasure and unofficial ambassador of Newfoundland's rich musical traditions, returns to the U.S. in 2023 to support his first live album Here, Tonight (Live). Tickets are currently on sale for all shows.

On the heels of his 2020 album release Rough Side Out, Alan was in the midst of a Canadian national tour when COVID halted the live music industry across the world. “We came home from tour on March 9, and we never left,” Doyle told the San Francisco Examiner in an interview.

Looking for something comforting in a year that had everyone out of sorts, Doyle went back to his roots to rediscover his love of folk music, especially the traditional songs from his native Newfoundland.

The result was Back to the Harbour (2021), “a 6-song EP that maintains his quality consistently with an energetic fusion that carries over to his own personal efforts. Songs that are a part of his language.” – Americana Highways

With a return to the road in 2022, it seemed fitting that Alan release his first live album Here, Tonight (Live) in anticipation of the tour. A collection of songs recorded at shows over the past few years with his longtime tour support The Beautiful Beautiful Band (Cory Tetford, Kendel Carson, Kris MacFarlane, Shehab Illyas and Todd Lumley).
Here, Tonight includes songs from Doyle’s solo albums: Boy on Bridge (2012), So Let’s Go (2014), A Week at the Warehouse (2017), and his 2020 chart-topping release Rough Side Out; as well as classic Great Big Sea favourites including “Ordinary Day” and “When I’m Up.”

“…his voice is Guinness-thick, and as warm as a Canadian kitchen, where Newfoundlanders traditionally gathered in the winter for family singalongs.” – San Francisco Examiner

Alan Doyle will continue to tour in 2023 with his 6-piece band and special guest Chris Trapper. For tickets and full list of dates, visit https://alandoyle.ca/tour/
