Alan Doyle: Welcome Home Tour

Expect the unexpected from Welcome Home, Alan Doyle’s fourth full-length solo studio album and 20th overall. While upholding his status as a perennial merrymaker — a reputation burnished by his years with acclaimed folk-pop combo Great Big Sea — the new album also finds the multifaceted singer-songwriter and 14-time JUNO Award nominee exploring novel sonic terrain. Alongside marquee co-writers Jimmy Rankin, Donovan Woods, and Hollywood actor Oscar Isaac (yep, of Star Wars fame), Doyle presents nine original songs that are both typically buoyant and surprisingly intimate, what Doyle refers to as “the lower and slower: the lower part of my vocal range and the slower songs. I’m letting myself do that for the first time on this record,” which he cut in Montreal with producer-engineer Marcus Paquin.

Welcome Home has party tracks aplenty, notably the fiercely rollicking, Celtic-y, fiddle-and accordion-goosed title track and first single, one of three co-writes between Doyle and Donovan Woods. “Donovan and I have written many songs together over the last eight or 10 years,” Doyle says. “He’s one of my favourite collaborators.”
