He's part of arguably the best-known family to come out of Canada's East Coast - and he's on his way to perform in Burnaby.
Jimmy Rankin is appearing on the Shadbolt Centre stage on April 25, with an 8 p.m. showtime.
Rankin is an award-winning solo artist and the lead singer, guitarist and songwriter behind the multi-platinum Canadian recording artists The Rankin Family.
"A dynamic live performer with an impressive catalogue of hits, Jimmy moves effortlessly between roots, country and pop stylings, taking his audience on an unforgettable musical journey from Cape Breton to Nashville, and back again," a press release says.
Rankin has earned a host of accolades for his work, including back-to-back Canadian Country Music Award wins for Roots Artist of the year in 2012 and 2013, a 2012 Juno nomination for Country Recording of the Year, and most recently the No. 1 spot in CBC's Top Ten East Coast Songs of All Time - for the hit single Fare Thee Well, Love.
Rankin will be bringing to the Shadbolt stage new material from his sixth full-length studio album, which will be released in early April.
Jimmy Rankin is onstage at 8 p.m. April 25.
