Alan Doyle to rock the Maritimes in May; On Sale Friday

It’s no “ordinary day” for fans of Alan Doyle.

The Great Big Sea frontman today announced a string of Maritime dates in support of his second solo album, So Let’s Go, due out January 20th.

“Made in collaboration with Thomas ‘Tawgs’ Salter (Lights, Walk Off The Earth), Jerrod Bettis (Adele, Serena Ryder), Gordie Sampson (Keith Urban, Willie Nelson) and Joe Zook (OneRepublic, Katy Perry), the album follows Doyle’s first solo outing, Boy On Bridge, released in 2012. 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.” promoters Sonic Concerts said of the record.
