New album – Safe Upon the Shore in US stores July 2010, followed by extensive Summer/Fall tour.
Preview tracks in the music player below, followed by their tour schedule. Use the comment space at the bottom for any feedback or to request airplay copies.
Embarking on their 18th year as a band, Great Big Sea voyage a little further from their signature Newfoundland inspired sound to land Safe Upon The Shore with their tenth album. The album is a feast of creative impulses, recorded in fits and starts over a six month period. Some of it was recorded in New Orleans with producer Steve Berlin, while other songs were recorded at the band’s studio in St. John’s. The band used guerilla setups to record the rest of it on tour buses and in various dressing rooms.
