Alan Doyle

Thursday

TCU Place

You might have first come to know the voice of Alan Doyle in his former band Great Big Sea but when that band broke up, Doyle just kept at it. Since going it on his own, Doyle’s toured relentlessly and right now he’s going right across Canada with his fourth solo album Already Dancing. Doyle is one of my favourite artists with his mix of folk and rock music that’s always loving and upbeat. Doyle’s bringing along Juno award-winning duo The East Pointers to open the show. Tickets are $73 – $96.
