Séan McCann Sings The Great Big Songbook

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day weekend with heart, harmony, and a whole lot of sing-along spirit

This special tour marks the 33rd anniversary of Great Big Sea, the iconic Newfoundland band whose music became a soundtrack for kitchens, pubs, festivals, and family gatherings across Canada. Known affectionately as “The Shantyman,” McCann invites audiences on a joyful journey back to the brighter bays of his native Newfoundland.

Expect a night filled with foot-stomping traditional favourites, beloved Great Big Sea classics, and the kind of hilarious storytelling that only McCann can deliver. His shows are famous for transforming the audience into the choir, turning concert halls into sing-along celebrations where strangers become friends and the music belongs to everyone.

More than a tribute to the band’s legendary catalogue, this performance is a heartfelt nod to the shared memories and community that Great Big Sea helped create over three decades.

Whether you grew up singing along to these songs or are discovering them for the first time, this one-night-only event promises nostalgia, energy, and the unmistakable spirit of Newfoundland.

Come ready to sing. Come ready to laugh. Come ready to celebrate a truly iconic piece of Canadian musical history.
