Former Great Big Sea frontman Alan Doyle announced a new EP and tour, which will hit the Maritimes next April.
Doyle’s Rough Side Out EP will be out on Feb. 14 and he will head out on tour with Kelly Prescott.
These are the stops in the Maritimes:
April 8: Casino New Brunswick in Moncton
April 9 and 10: Rebecca Cohn Auditorium in Halifax
April 11: The Playhouse in Fredericton
April 12: Imperial Theatre in Saint John
Doyle recently released We Don’t Wanna Go Home, a collaboration with Dean Brody and the first track from the EP.
“We Don’t Wanna Go Home is about the greatest night of your life being interrupted by the tolling of the last call bell at the pub. The speakers in the song cry the most desperate plea to the publican to keep the place open for at least one more round,” Doyle said in a news release. The pair worked previously on the song Soggy Bottom Waters in 2016 and It’s Friday in 2012.
“I’m excited to be doing another big, pre-game, country anthem with Alan,” said Brody in the release. “I had so much fun working on Friday with him, and this new single represents all the things we all love about Alan as a human, as an artist, and the Atlantic Canada lifestyle in general. I hope this single makes people want to get their best friends together, order a round, and celebrate the people and places that have made them who they are!”
