I don't know where this falls on the musical spectrum, but I listened and really liked it. Check it out.

(Press Release) Alan Doyle, actor, producer, author, and best­ known as lead singer for Newfoundland’s beloved Great Big Sea for over 20 years, has announced new U.S. tour dates for 2016. A tireless live performer, Doyle affirms, “I always want people to have the greatest night of their life when the house lights go down.” Check out the list of dates below.
 
Earlier this year Doyle released his second solo album, So Let’s Go. The record can be heard streaming via Allmusic, who writes, "The album's 10 tracks span uptempo barroom stompers to sweet ballads, boosted by layered vocals, heaps of acoustic instruments and a prevailing 'we're all in this together' mentality that runs throughout the record." So Let's Go is definitely an album for celebrating the good times.

Doyle excels as a storyteller both in his songwriting and as a published author. His musical memoir Where I Belong recounts his upbringing in the small fishing village of Petty Harbour, Newfoundland, and the childhood adventures and larger-than-life characters who left an indelible mark on his life. He recently related several tales to Colin McEnroe of WNPR in addition to performing a slection of songs from So Let's Go. You can listen to the entire segment HERE.
 
Made in collaboration with Thomas ‘Tawgs’ Salter (Lights, Walk Off The Earth), Jerrod Bettis (Adele, Serena Ryder), Gordie Sampson (Keith Urban, Willie Nelson), and Joe Zook (OneRepublic, Katy Perry), the So Let's Go follows Doyle’s first solo outing, Boy On Bridge, released in 2012. Doyle has previously produced albums for actor Russell Crowe and The Irish Descendants as well as numerous film and television soundtracks. In 2012, he joined friend Russell Crowe on screen in the blockbuster film Robin Hood.
