Alan Doyle and The Beautiful, Beautiful Band hit the road with the 'Come Out With Me Tour' on the 15 January, 2018. Along the way Alan, the band and fans share their words, thoughts, photographs and videos via their social media sites and fan sites. Alan also does some traditional media interviews and other promotional material as the tour progresses.
Over the past Alan Doyle and The Beautiful, Beautiful Band tours I have collected some of those social media posts, interviews and promotional material and created posts. As a record of Alan's music career these posts are regularly visited for anyone wanting some photographs and information.
Due to the large amount of information shared I find it difficult to keep track of everything that is produced by Alan, the band on the road and the fan's experiences at the concerts. So I have decided to create these as they go along and information appears.
I will include screen shots of some of Alan and the band's posts, some quotes from interviews and the promotional material to direct future visitors to them. Where possible they are circulated via my Google + page.
Alan Doyle From The Road...'YYT-YYZ-YVR'... January 15th, 2018 (full post available at alandoyle.ca)...
"...The last day or so have been typical of the last few days of a long break before the beginning of a long time away. Regular readers of this blog have heard me speak of this many times. The odd mix of excitement to hit the road and sadness about leaving those who love to have you around. You start counting the school drop offs you have left before you’ll go close to a month without another one. You walk your dog a little bit longer and hope he doesn’t know he won’t get the kind of walk he likes most for a few weeks. You linger at your Mom’s counter ten or fifteen minutes longer than you have reason to, just to watch your parents putter around the house and ask one more time, “where are you going this time?” Trying to commit the sound of their in-person voices to memory as they just don’t quite sound the same on the phone..."
Interviews...
"For longtime fans of Newfoundland combo Great Big Sea, frontman Alan Doyle has some good news and some bad news. On the upside, he has a rollicking new solo effort out, his third — the Bob Rock-produced “A Week at the Warehouse” — which captures Great Big Sea’s kinetic Celt-rocking spirit. On the downside, when the band’s original member Sean McCann left in 2013 after two decades, he and co-founder Bob Hallett discussed amicable ways to continue without him. “We couldn’t come to an agreement so there was nothing left to do but move on,” says Doyle. “So it’s all good, everybody seems to be quite happy doing what they’re doing, and the door is still wide open....”
