Cornwall - Nov. 30, 2013 - Critically-acclaimed Canadian folk rock band Great Big Sea took to the stage at the Cornwall Civic Complex last night.

The highly-anticipated show was part of a cross-Canada tour in support of the band’s greatest hits and box set, XX, and in celebration of their 20th anniversary.

Few bands last more than an album or two — a few tours, a song played on the radio, and then they are quickly forgotten. Alan Doyle, Sean McCann and Bob Hallett have somehow managed to keep the dysfunctional-family-bar-room-brawl-student-art-project-musical-pirate-crew known as Great Big Sea going for two decades. And more often than not, they have done it with more than a bit of flair.
