The East Coast invaded the West Coast last night, in a good way. Jimmy Rankin, he of the famed Rankin Family took to the stage of Blue Frog Studios in White Rock British Columbia, Canada last night, much to the enjoyment of the 2 sold out audiences! Jimmy has been pursuing a solo career for the past number of years, spending 7 years in Nashville working on his songwriting skills. And now he’s headed back home, to Cape Breton, with a new album release “Moving East.” Jimmy says, “Moving East puts the music back in the kitchen, a fine Maritime tradition. Jimmy was accompanied by hall of fame musician Jamie MacDonald, on guitar and mandolin. Transplanted Maritimers were in attendance last night, singing, clapping and dancing to some of the old and some of the new songs from Jimmy Rankin. His tour continues November 13th in Halifax.
