February 9th 2024. Expect the unexpected from Welcome Home, Alan Doyle's 6th solo album and 20th of his career.
While upholding his status as a perennial merrymaker - a reputation burnished by his years with acclaimed folkpop combo Great Big Sea - the new album also finds the multifaceted singersongwriter exploring novel sonic terrain. Doyle presents nine original songs - recorded in Montreal - ranging from his signature fiercely rollicking party tracks to tunes that are surprisingly intimate. Doyle says it's his most personal and understated album that he's ever released. "I have always struggled with the middle ground. I love playing live so much and I have been rightly accused of writing songs more for concerts than albums. Most people who come to my shows want that kind of night out. So, I have overlooked 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.”
