Alan Doyle is a reputable musician and songwriter hailing from Petty Harbour, Newfoundland, Canada, best known as the lead singer of the Canadian folk-rock band Great Big Sea. With his charismatic stage presence and distinctive voice, Doyle has been a prominent figure in the realm of folk and traditional music since the early 1990s. After the band entered a hiatus in 2013, Doyle pursued a solo career that has solidified his reputation as a passionate storyteller through song.

His solo catalog exemplifies Doyle's versatility and commitment to his Newfoundland heritage, with thoughtful nods to his roots in the sea-bound narratives and folksy melodies. His most recent releases, including albums such as "A Week at the Warehouse" and "Rough Side Out," as well as heartfelt singles like "We Will Always Be Home" (From "Son of a Critch") and "Welcome Home," showcase his ability to blend contemporary sounds with the traditional. With each performance, whether live—as captured in "Here, Tonight (Live)"—or through his varied studio work, Alan Doyle continues to enchant audiences, bringing the rich musical landscape of his homeland to the wider world. His contributions have not waned in imagination or authenticity, as seen in his unique take on gaming music with "Sleeping in the Cold Below" (From "Warframe"), further reflecting his dynamic range as an artist.
