Great Big Sea is, the St. John's-based, Juno-nominated band that fuses Newfoundland traditional music with modern pop in a crowd-pleasing formula both heartfelt and vital. A pure force of nature — much like the ocean surge they take their name from — Great Big Sea's blend of instruments like mandolin, bodhran, fiddle, and concertina, along with their vocal harmonies, revels in the melodies they create and the Newfoundland tunes they love. Their sound bellows joy.

Their fans have been responding since their self-titled debut in 1993. All of their albums have gone gold, and most are multi-platinum. After almost thirteen years together, this highly original and award-winning band is releasing a new kind of album.
