Summer

Summer We are making the GREAT BIG move from CA to HI, but had to postpone it so I could see you in San Diego this Wednesday & Santa Ana this Friday. God bless my husband for understanding, and for that, he's getting a GREAT BIG sloppy kiss!!!

Doug

Doug Anyone know what time GBS will actually come on for the show at the El Ray. I'm sure the opening bands are great, but it's goign to be a long drive up there.

Julie Jensen

Julie Jensen Hey, I sent you guys a gift card for In'n Out but they called me and told me your address (I got it from your web page) was incomplete - so they sent the card to me. I have tickets to see you November 13 in Santa Ana. (!!!!!!!) How can I get this to you?

Jaydon Turgeon

Jaydon Turgeon I wish GBS would come to Ottawa

I just find this funny. Very many of my FB friends, myself included, have posted this as our status: "HOW DID WE MEET? Everyone play the game! Copy and paste this phrase on your profile, you will find it amusing to see how you met and know each of your friends!!!" A very common answer among all of us is GBS, or the ...OKP, or at a show, or on S&D...just thanking you for the friendships you have created! Who knew a band could change so many lives for the better?Read More

Renee

Renee Not sure where to enter the contest but here goes..........The Great Big Sea reminds me of the Great Big ice bergs floating into Placentia Bay in the winter and also of the Great Big waves washing up on shore in the winter months. Got to love the winter in Newfoundland

Joy

Joy is wondering what kind of trouble she'd get in for going to LA from the other LA (that's Lower Alabama) on Nov 12th when she has to coordinate a great big video call with over 50 sites on Nov 13th.

Steve Goodwin

Steve Goodwin Wish you guy's could make it to the deep south(New Zealand) .Would like to sail from here to St johns and learn to fiddle to your music on the way, and visit George Street while i am ashore too. And that's my tail!!!

Lora Hnat

Lora Hnat My boyfriend just won Great Big brownie points for blogging about his trip down to L.A. to see my favorite band, Great Big Sea, with me next week.

Years ago I got a recording of a GBS song that I cannot find on any
album. Does anyone know what album it's from? Was it a bootleg taping
of a concert? Any help would be appreciated!

It goes something like: "Auntie Mary's got a canary, up the leg of her
drawers. When she was sleeping, I went creeping, up the leg of her
dra...wers."

Love the GBS music. My kids are hooked too. We saw you the last 2
times in SF and wish wish wish we could afford to see you in Santa Cruz
next week. Have a great tour and don't crash the bus this time!

Ronda Sparkes-Godin

Ronda Sparkes-Godin Our oldest son was due on January 21, 1998 but what a GREAT BIG surprise when he made his entrance on January 1 instead. His name is Luc so every year on his birthday we sing and play "Lukey's Boat is painted green....." :)
