Music Nova Scotia’s Entertainer of the Year comes with a big band and a big sound. Known for their eclectic, high-energy shows, Rankin and the Broken Reeds bring together the region’s top musical talent for a live-music experience unlike anything you’ve seen before — one that feels like it spans time and genres, from traditional folk to future pop, fueled by a lot of groove and finished with a bit of grit. Together, the band has built an award-winning music festival (Blueberry Jam), a first-of-its-kind concert series (Rankin’s Winter Warmers), and a community of creative collaborators who are up for anything — and fans who can’t wait to see what’s next. And what’s next is the band’s highly anticipated debut full-length studio album, coming in 2024 – Rankin’s first since House Party with Party Boots in 2019.
