From the business lead singer of the strap Great Big Sea comes a lyrical and captivating musical memoir about growing up in the little fishing village of Petty Harbour, Newfoundland, and then taking to the world stage. Singer-songwriter and prominent man of the fantastic Canadian strap Great Big Sea, Alan Doyle is also a lyrical storyteller and an innovative make. In Where I Belong, Alan paints a brilliant, raucous, and heartwarming portrait of a inquisitive young lad born in to the small coastal angling community of Petty Harbour, Newfoundland, and destined to become a renowned musician who taken the musical traditions of decades before him and helped bring his signature sound to the world. He says of a years as a child ornamented by larger-than-life individuals who made an indelible impression on his music and work; of his first job on the wharf, eliminating cod tongues for anglers; of growing up in a family of five in a two-bedroom home with a beef-bucket as a bathroom, yet lacking little or nothing; of learning at his father's leg how to sing the story of a tune and learning from his mom how to simply "be good"; and, finally, of how everything he ever learned as a kid prepared him to the pivotal second when he became part of Great Big Sea and sailed away on what would be the best musical experience of his life. Filled with the lore and traditions of the East Coastline and advised in a tone that reaches once captivating and refreshingly candid, this is a narrative voyage about small-town life, attention, and creative fulfillment and, finally, about giving all you know behind and then learn that no matter where you decide to go, home will always be with you.
