The Rankin Family Reunites for First Cross-Canada Tour in Almost 15 Years

The Rankin Family are reunited — and they’re hitting the road to celebrate.

Canadian East Coast sibling trio Heather, Cookie and Jimmy will play a string of shows across the country, marking the 20th anniversary of their 2007 reunion tour and album, Reunion. They’re slated for 23 Canadian dates, kicking off in Invermere, B.C., on March 4 at Columbia Valley Centre.

They’ll continue across the Canadian west coast with dates across B.C., before heading to Alberta for three shows and lone dates in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. In Ontario, they’re scheduled for eight shows, including stops in Thunder Bay, London, Kitchener, Ottawa, Kingston and more.

Following solo dates in Montreal, Moncton and Charlottetown, they’re playing two hometown shows in Nova Scotia, in the cities of Halifax and Sydney on April 1 and 3, respectively.

Each performance includes two 45-minute sets and an intermission, allowing audiences “an evening filled with beloved favourites, musical storytelling and the unmistakable harmonies that have connected the Rankin Family with fans for generations.”

In addition to 2007’s reunion album, the Celtic and folk trio has more to celebrate, including the 35th anniversary of their hit “Fare Thee Well Love.” Originally released in 1990, a Columbia Records 1992 reissue of the track gave it a resurgence in popularity across the country.

While the first iteration of the Rankin Family formed in the ‘70s with siblings Geraldine, Genevieve, David, John Morris and Raylene Rankin, younger siblings Jimmy, Cookie and Heather assumed their positions in the band as their older siblings went off to university. Decades later, it’s the younger trio that has maintained the group’s legacy, while Geraldine, John Morris and Raylene have passed away.

Notably, Alvvays frontwoman Molly Rankin is the daughter of former member John Morris, who died in 2000. That Canadian dream-pop group has amassed much success on both sides of the border, most recently with their third album, 2022’s Blue Rev, which reached No. 75 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. Meanwhile, their 2014 hit "Archie, Marry Me" was certified Gold in the U.S., a decade after its release.

“There is something incredibly special about making music together as a family, and we’re so excited to share that feeling with audiences across Canada once again,” Jimmy, Cookie and Heather share. “It’s been nearly 15 years since we last toured together, and the thought of being back on the road, singing these songs and reconnecting with the people who have been part of our journey means so much to us.”

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, Nov. 13 at 10 am local, following various presales beginning on Nov. 12 — sign up here for access.
