Fallsview Casino Resort is proud to welcome The Rankin Family to the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino on March 27. Among Canada's most enduring and influential folk music acts, The Rankin Family has spent decades sharing the spirit of the East Coast through acclaimed songs, powerful storytelling, and remarkable live performances.

The Rankin Family is a Canadian Celtic folk music group formed in Mabou, Nova Scotia, consisting of siblings from a musical family of twelve children.  Known for blending traditional Cape Breton influences with contemporary roots music and original songs, the group achieved widespread acclaim in the 1990s, selling over 400,000 copies of their breakthrough album Fare Thee Well Love and winning six Juno Awards, including Group of the Year, along with fifteen East Coast Music Awards.

The core lineup included brothers Jimmy Rankin (vocals and guitar) and John Morris Rankin (piano and fiddle), and sisters Raylene Rankin (vocals), Heather Rankin (vocals and guitar), and Cookie Rankin (vocals).  Their music featured harmonious family vocal and Celtic instrumentation which earned them international tours in Europe, Australia, and the United States. The band also received four SOCAN Awards and three Canadian Country Music Association Awards during their peak years. In June 2025, the group was inducted into the Cape Breton Music Industry Hall of Fame.

Tickets for The Rankin Family go on sale on Friday, November 13 at 10:00am.
