Great Big Sea is a Canadian folk-rock band from Newfoundland and Labrador, best known for performing energetic rock interpretations of traditional Newfoundland folk songs. The band also performs original material.
On March 11, 2010, Great Big Sea celebrated their seventeenth birthday as a band. And like almost every one of their many anniversaries spent together, they celebrated it by playing a concert, this one in Omaha, Nebraska. For the players it was an important landmark
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Artist: Great Big Sea Song : Nothing Out Of Nothing Album: up Tabbed by André Nadeau-Simard([email protected])
Here`s a good song from the album Up. The strumning is the key . You have to play fast and not too loud. That`s Great Big Sea`s particularity. The little A trick is to play the combination of A and A7 and back to A really fast. And sorry, my english is not so good...
