Folk-rockers Great Big Sea [ tickets ] will continue to support their most recent studio set, last year's "Fortune's Favour," with a fresh slate of late-summer and early fall dates.

The veteran Canadian outfit kicks off the tour Aug. 19 in Hyannis, MA, and will continue through mid-October, winding down the 18-city outing Oct. 11 in Westhampton, NY. Details are included below.

The band continues to back its ninth and most recent studio set, "Fortune's Favour," which surfaced about a year ago. "Walk On The Moon," the lead single in Canada, hit airwaves last April, scoring the group its first Canadian-charting song since 1999.

"The title [of the album] comes from one of the songs, 'England,'" lead singer Alan Doyle told LiveDaily last summer. "It's basically an expression of luck. We feel fortunate to be able to do this for a decade and a half. A lot of the songs that are on the record kind of express our contentment and our general acknowledgment of good fortune.

"We've done our share of work, but a lot of bands that have worked hard, for whatever reason, have collapsed under its own weight for one reason or another. We've been lucky to have fans who have supported us for such a long time."
