Alan Doyle

Playing Bluesfest on Sunday night for the fourth time, Stephane Dubord catches up with Newfoundland legend Alan Doyle to talk about his many artistic projects.

Usually Sundays at Bluesfest tend to be a bit more laid back, but between the kitchen party and the Shania dance party, this Sunday night is going to be a raucous one.

Death Cab for Cutie were last night’s headliners, but Apt613’s Bluesfest photographers also captured performances by Alan Doyle, Jack Barksdale, Guy Belanger, Emmanuelle Quarry, Dawn Tyler Watson, Taming Sari, Tegan and Sara, Youngtree and the Blooms, and Bran Van 3000 at Day 4 of Bluesfest.

Sunday’s lineup features the second alt-rock headliner of the festival, with notable names spread out across the stages. We just have to hope Mother Nature cooperates and keeps the rain at bay!

Over 10,000 people crowded Parliament Hill to Marie-Mai, Cœur de Pirate, Shawnee, K’naan, Alan Doyle, The Strumbellas, Crystal Shawanda, Brett Kissel, William Prince and *gasps* Ryan Reynolds.

The National Arts Centre holds a lot of shows in Southam Hall, but this was one of the rowdier ones, as the crowd was up off their feet and dancing for the majority of the show.

Busty & The Bass, Rebecca Noelle, The Souljazz Orchestra, Riishi Von Rex, and Pony Girl are among the recent additions.
