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.
• Presale: Wednesday, June 3 at 10:00 AM local time (SONGDOG25)
• General On Sale: Friday, June 5 at 10:00 AM local time

Right before we hit the stage at the Halifax Casino last weekend… 🎥🎶
There’s nothing better than sharing the stage with J.P. Cormier and Catherine MacLellan - three friends, a pile of songs, and a whole lot of stories. We’re having the best time performing together and getting to share the heart behind these tunes with you.
Halifax, you were some kind of crowd. 🙌
Two shows down and we’re just getting warmed up…
Next stop: New Glasgow and Port Hawkesbury.
March 4 - New Glasglow Glasgow Square Theatre
March 7 - Port Hawkesbury Port Hawkesbury Civic Centre
Really looking forward to hitting the road this week. ❤️
Catherine MacLellan put together this lovely video about our upcoming shows — and I couldn’t have said it better myself.
We kick things off this Friday in Summerside, PEI, and I can’t wait to get back in a room full of music and familiar faces. These shows are going to be something special.
Have a listen to what Catherine has to say — and if we’re coming your way, grab your tickets and come join us.
See you soon!
