Alan Doyle & The Beautiful Gypsies to Perform at Landmark on Main in March
Add another weekend to our 36 Weekends on Stage, as Landmark on Main Street presents Alan Doyle in concert at the Jeanne Rimsky Theater on Saturday, March 18, 2017 at 8 PM. Tickets go on sale to Friends of Landmark today, Monday, November 14 and to the general public on Friday, November 18.
Alan Doyle, actor, producer, newly-minted best-selling author, and best known as lead singer for Newfoundland's beloved Great Big Sea these past 20+ years, released his second solo album, So Let's Go, in January 2015. Title-track lead single So Let's Go, is a rousing rallying cry that's only further proof of Doyle's ability to draw the listener under his banner.
Alan Doyle hails from Petty Harbour, NL, and formed Great Big Sea in 1993 with Sean McCann, Bob Hallett, and Darrell Power, in which they fused traditional Newfoundland music with their own pop sensibilities. Their nine albums, double-disc hits retrospective, and two DVD releases have been declared Gold or Platinum and have sold a combined 1.2 million copies in Canada. So Let's Go continues to cement Alan Doyle's reputation as one of our country's most treasured musicians and storytellers. "I always want people to have the greatest night of their life when the house lights go down."
A prolific blogger, Alan's tales from the road can be found at www.alandoyle.ca.
Also appearing is songwriter Donovan Woods. When you listen to Donovan Woods, you can hear the craft of songwriting being carried forward: Stripped down, but never simple; direct yet poetic; new and timeless. The music is delivered with confidence, and in an evocative voice that you wouldn't expect from someone as young, approachable, or humorous as Woods.
His acclaimed fourth album Hard Settle, Ain't Trouble received a 2016 Polaris Music Prize nomination.
