Twenty-five years ago, Jimmy Rankin stepped into a new chapter.
Following a decade with The Rankin Family, Jimmy struck out on his own and released Song Dog — the album that launched his solo career and introduced fans to a bold new sound rooted in Cape Breton, country, folk, rock, and Americana.
Now, for the first time, Jimmy is bringing Song Dog back to the stage and performing the album live in its entirety as part of the Song Dog 25th Anniversary Tour.
Featuring classics like Followed Her Around alongside favourites from across his remarkable catalogue, this special concert celebrates the songs, stories, and spirit of an album that helped define a new era in Canadian music.
Whether you were there when Song Dog first arrived or you're discovering it for the first time, this is a show you won't want to miss.
