Who doesn’t like Alan Doyle? Artist. Actor. Author. The favorite son of Petty Harbour and all of Newfoundland.    His solo career after Great Big Sea has achieved lift-off in Canada and now USA and Britain.  I found him in Toronto, waiting out the monster snowstorm that took over the East Coast.  We’re talking about his new EP Rough Side Out. Due Valentines Day
And his tour dates across the West starting Feb 25 in Lethbridge Followed by The Hat, Red Deer, Calgary. Edmonton, Lloydminster, Fort Mac & Grand Prairie.  Alan also reveals that this EP has a country lean, still with Maritime influences.  There’s a great cover of John Mellencamp’s  Paper in Fire from his game-changing Lonesome Jubilee.  A dollar from each ticket goes to his support of addiction and mental health organizations.
