JIMMY RANKIN IS BRINGING THE EAST COAST TO CAPITOL 33 IN DELHI, ONTARIO FOR A NIGHT YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS

Jimmy Rankin of the Rankin Family achieved international success as they brough their well-loved mix of Cape Breton traditional music, roots and pop to the rest of the world. Rankin's solo and Rankin Family awards include 5 Junos, 27 East Coast Music Awards, 9 SOCAN top radio play Awards, 7 Canadian Country Music Awards, 2 Music NS Awards, and 2 Canadian Radio Music Awards. The Jimmy Rankin Trio will embark on Capitol 33’s stage on Wednesday Feb 21 for a night you do not want to miss.

“As we enter our second year of operation at Capitol 33 we are placing a lot of efforts on bringing amazing shows back to Delhi” said owner and operator Jordan Gawley. We are focused on creating an intimate and unforgettable experience with world renowned artists, he continued. “After Googling -THE BEST EAST COAST MUSICIANS IN CANADA” it was clear that we needed to bring Jimmy Rankin to our stage”, said Gawley.

On Harvest Highway, Jimmy Rankin hits the road again, time traveling and traversing far-flung destinations—along with his native Nova Scotia, of course—through his singular brand of East Coast folk-rock. The Cape Breton icon’s eighth solo album is rich in the narrative songwriting traditions that Rankin has been honing for nearly his whole life, filled with crackling yarns and poignant chronicles about feverish marriages in Thunder Bay, unmoored Newfoundlanders, lovers on the run, and fallen soldiers in France. Bookended by songs about home, the collection roams a trajectory not so different from Rankin’s life, with narrators who relish in adventure while also feeling a yearning for the homeland from which they first pulled their roots up. It finds Rankin at the height of his songwriting powers. “I’ve been working toward this album for my entire career,” he says.

“I've traveled around the world and I've lived in other places, and I think like a lot of East Coasters, I feel a profound connection to the place,” Rankin says. “People really feel they need to come back here. It’s where they're from, after all. It's where their roots are.”
