Great Big Sea have recently released a new all-traditional CD, The Hard & The Easy, and are touring like mad to promote it! After finishing up a hectic tour schedule including the US and Canada, which even included a new two-set (traditional/rock) format, GBS is still at it with concert dates late into this year. News has also surfaced that a second Great Big DVD is to be released this fall which includes footage from the Belleville shows last June.
