Renowned Canadian singer-songwriter Alan Doyle makes his Waldo Theatre debut with special guests Fortunate Ones in a 7:30 p.m. show March 13. Alan Doyle is an actor, producer, best-selling author, and best-known as lead singer for Newfoundland’s beloved Great Big Sea these past 20+ years, hardly needs an introduction.

With five solo albums under his belt, Doyle has been touring the world with his ace six-piece band for the last decade. In late 2014, Doyle released his best-selling memoir "Where I Belong," followed by his books, "A Newfoundlander In Canada" and "All Together." Amidst these projects, Doyle found time to write music for and appear on CBC’s "Republic of Doyle," guest on CBC’s "Murdoch Mysteries," a role in 2014’s "Winter’s Tale" and 2010’s "Robin Hood."

With his 2022 live album “Here, Tonight” and a Juno nomination for his 2021 album “Back to the Harbour,” Doyle chalks up a lot of where he is right now to luck. “I’m the luckiest guy I’ve ever even heard of,” he says. “This was all I ever wanted, a life in the music business, singing concerts.”

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 all been declared Gold or Platinum and have sold a combined 1.2 million copies in Canada.

Fortunate Ones is a contemporary folk duo from Newfoundland. Celebrated for their harmony-entwined songs of hope, resilience, and the human condition and their joyfully disarming live shows, they have toured relentlessly, bringing their open-hearted performances to thousands of people across North America and beyond.
