Alan Doyle And The Beautiful, Beautiful Band begin the Fall leg of the 'Come Out With Me Tour' on 1 November, 2018 visiting Canada and the United States.
Prior to starting this leg of the tour Alan did an interview with a local London Ontario Tourism Online magazine. The interview is called 'Alan Doyle bringing the party to Centennial Hall' by Whitney South published on the 26 October, 2018 in londontourism.ca. I have copied a couple of paragraphs here....
“...A Week at the Warehouse boasts 11 tracks all together, including the lead single Summer Summer Night, a ditty Doyle says is the closest thing to an honest-to-God country song he’s ever written.
It’s really about me growing up on a beach in Newfoundland, and it became quite country-tinged in a lovely way. So, there I was lingering in the hallways of the Canadian country world,” he said, adding thanks to a similar way of storytelling to his own roots, a foray into the genre wasn’t completely unexpected. “They’re working-man songs, and stories from your own backyard, which are the greatest country music songs. I think that’s true with my traditional music as well, they’re songs about what’s going on right behind you.”
Even with a slew of tour dates still on the horizon, taking him from Ontario to the U.S., to the west coast and Europe, Doyle never seems to tire of hitting the road. Fact is, getting to play a concert every night is incentive enough, and while many may tire of the life, the artist maintains his love of the stage has never wavered. Add to that the chance to share his music and culture with people around the world, and he may never slow down..."
I have posted a few photographs from this first night on the tour. I have included the traditional Alan Doyle selfie outside the venue for tonight's performance and a gorgeous poster advertising where the tour will go on this leg.
