Alan Doyle

Alan Doyle is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and actor who rose to fame as the enigmatic frontman for the acclaimed Newfoundland folk-rock band Great Big Sea. During their commercial peak from the late '90s to the mid-2000s, the group's energetic fusion of traditional Celtic fare and sea shanties earned them international success far beyond the shores of their island home. Doyle launched a solo career in 2012 with the release of Boy on Bridge. Since then, he has published two books, appeared in numerous films and television shows, and issued three more solo efforts, including 2024's Welcome Home.
