	Great Big Sea @ CanEHdian.com
		Picture a scene in 1995 (when Great Big Sea were first breaking onto the scene).
		Some Newfoundlad band named Great Big Sea were opening for the talented Bentall, and the only people that bothered to show up were students from Cornerbrook, Conception Bay and St.John's who were amazed that their any band from their home province would get a gig off "the rock".
		This time the main act were Blue Rodeo, another great Canadian band, but the scene couldn't be different from Great Big Sea's first trip to the school, only months earlier.

	Great Big Sea, Sea of No Cares
		Naomi de Bruyn wrote a fine career retrospective on Great Big Sea with lots of great details on their music and career up to the release of their 4th album, Turn.
		Great Big Sea are Alan Doyle (vocals, guitar, bouzouki), Bob Hallett (vocals, fiddles, tenor banjo, accordion, bouzouki, mandolin, high and low whistles), Séan McCann (vocals, guitar, bodhran, shakers) and Darrell Power (vocals, bass, bones, mandola).
		As for their original material, "Sea of No Cares" straddles narrative and the world of feelings as it describes a man falling in love and leaving his friends "getting cynically stoned" at the bar.

	Ink 19 :: Great Big Sea
		I was introduced to Newfoundland's Great Big Sea about a year ago by a friend who specializes in promoting Canadian bands.
		The Great Big Sea have two albums that both went platinum in Canada, and are currently promoting a USA-only collection of their Canadian hits called Rant and Roar.
		Great Big Sea are special in that they, as not so much a rock and roll band as a "traditional" band, have firmly set themselves a place in the world music scene.

	AMZ - April 2000 - Great Big Sea
		It is probably as a result of the foregoing that I haven't been much of a sea shanty type of guy.
		It is to Great Big Sea's credit that the CD does not sound choppy as a result.
		Yet this song, penned by Great Big Sea's Alan Doyle, has a timelessness about it that would render it contemporary in 1800 or 2000 or any and all points in between.

		When Canadian Celtic/roots band Great Big Sea performs at the Sphere Entertainment Complex on Main Street in downtown Buffalo Friday April 2, it will bring in some new sounds and approaches without trying to sound different.
		Among the better songs on the new CD is “Helmethead,” a fun, hard-driving tune about a National Hockey League enforcer knowing his time is limited and what he has to do to keep his roster slot.
		It’s also great that we’re all writing; the only thing better than a good song is two good songs.

	Rambles: Alan Doyle, Great Big Sea
		Great Big Sea is bringing a great deal of international attention to Newfoundland's traditional music, which is equal parts Scots-Irish heritage, maritime influence and general jar-in-the-kitchen foolery.
		Doyle is also a bit astonished at how rapidly Great Big Sea has caught on in the United States.
		Earlier albums (Great Big Sea, Up and Play) didn't get much attention south of the Canadian border -- although it did send them touring in Europe, where they shared a few stages with the Oysterband.

		Something Beautiful is sure to appeal to Great Big Sea's already established fan base, and it might yet find its way into the consciousness of anyone with a penchant for natural vocal harmonies, good, solid melodies and heartfelt songs.

	Interview with Great Big Sea
		As a result we have a new drummer which is great.
		I think our shows have always been aggressive and intense and that really rubbed off on the crowd as well, and that's what is great about these crazy show we've done in the last couple of weeks.
		DP - Well I think as each new project with the band, we are probably getting better at song writing and editing tunes, and better at standing tunes side by side with the traditional ones that have worked for hundreds of years.
