GUELPH – JUNO-nominated Canadian musician Alan Doyle is coming to Guelph’s River Run Centre in the spring, and the show is nearly sold-out.
Best known as the frontman and co-founder of award-winning band Great Big Sea, Doyle is also an actor, producer and best-selling author, and has five solo albums to his name.
He’ll be on the River Run’s Main Stage on March 20 for an 8pm show that promises to be “an incredible night of beloved hits and new music,” said a news release.
Doyle’s warm energy is infectious and his performances quickly have crowds dancing and singing, bringing an authentic kitchen-party feel to even large venues, it said.
His newest record, Welcome Home released this past February delivers slightly slower, softer music to the delight of fans, it stated.
“This is the most personal and understated record I’ve ever done,” Doyle stated in the release. “I love playing live so much and I have been rightly accused of writing songs more for concerts than albums. Most people who come to my shows want that kind of night out. So, I have overlooked … the lower part of my vocal range and the slower songs. I’m letting myself do that for the first time on this record.”
His performance is part of the River Run’s LOTS ON Season, sponsored by Richardson Wealth and partly funded by the Government of Canada.
Tickets went on sale on Sept. 27, and as of the Advertiser’s press deadline, there were a handful still available. For more information, or to purchase tickets, contact the box office at 519-763-3000 or visit riverrun.ca/whats-on/alan-doyle25.
