Beloved Canadian music icon Alan Doyle, one of the busiest touring artists for more than three decades, has announced an extensive 42-date tour that will take him across Canada and the U.S. including his April 28 show here at Sellersville Theater. Joining Doyle on the “Already Dancing” tour is Brooklyn indie-folk-pop-Americana outfit Bandits on the Run. In Doyle’s own words: “New Tunes! New Tour! Hitting the road in the new year with The Beautiful Beautiful Band as we take the ‘Already Dancing Tour’ around North America. Come sing some new ones and all the favs with us, It’s Gonna Be a Time!”
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.
Doyle’s CV is extensive — he is a thrice-published author, a film and TV actor-producer with multiple major credits, and the co-producer of the recently released, 20-song Ron Hynes tribute album, Sonny Don't Go Away. Yet the wildly popular musician from Petty Harbour, Newfoundland remains most electrifying before a live audience, abetted by his ace band. “I am the luckiest guy in the world,” Doyle says. “It’s such a privilege to stand among those players on stage.”
Bandits on the Run is an indie-folk-pop-americana outfit consisting of three lead singers, a guitar, a cello, a suitcase drum, an accordion, and various toy instruments. They hail from Brooklyn, NY and are known for their vivacious performance style, genre-defying sound, soaring harmonies, and ability to make music-magic happen everywhere from subway platforms to concert halls.
