Fans of this blog know that I probably the world’s biggest Rankin Family fan. And not just any Rankin family fan, I’ll take them anyway I can get them. I’ll listen to Molly Rankin, The Rankin Sisters and most certainly Jimmy Rankin. Essentially, if their name is Rankin, I’ve got a tattoo dedicated to them.
So you can imagine my excitement when Jimmy announced a brand new Canadian tour today! The tour is in support of his newest album, entitled Forget About The World and features none other than Keith Urban and Serena Ryder! I know right? Crazy.
Fun fact: Years ago, Jimmy actually opened for Keith Urban on his Canadian tour. Guess we’re not the only once who are quick to become Jimmy fans!
Music fans across Canada will benefit from a unique opportunity to see Rankin perform in a more intimate setting on this upcoming tour. Rankin strips down from a full-band to an acoustic duo with guitar and backing vocals by long-time band-mate, Jamie Robinson. Okay, you won’t admit it but some of you got excited when you saw the words ‘Rankin’ and ‘Strips’ didn’t you!
Check out the tour dates below, if you’re a big fan, you can buy your ticket and an autographed CD at the same time on Jimmy’s website. Yeah, we’re totally on a first name basis.
