One of my all time favorite live performance bands, Great Big Sea – from the tropical island of Newfoundland, Canada – is performing in NYC tomorrow night at Town Hall celebrating their 20 anniversary tour.
The first time I ever heard of, or saw, Great Big Sea was at an outdoor concert during the 1999 Summer Festival in Quebec City and I was just blown away by their combination of traditional seafaring folk tunes, Celtic rock songs, audience sing-a-longs and the sheer fun and joy of their live performance. A bunch of friends and I have been attending their New York concerts ever since. If you are looking for something to do Friday night in New York City, I definitely recommend trying to get tickets. Believe me, you will have a Great Time!
Being a fellow Islander, I’ve always felt a strong kinship toward the lads from Great Big Sea.
