Feb 9th Alan Doyle releases his next album Welcome Home Feb 10 he guests on Mulligan Stew “I have always struggled with the middle ground. I love playing live so much and I have rightly been accused of writing songs more for concerts than albums. Most people who come to my shows want that kind of night out. So, I have overlooked the lower and slower: The lower part of my vocal range and the slower songs. I'm letting myself do that for the first time on this record.” Alan's 6th solo album and 20th of his career. Alan is celebrating 30 years in music. He's been co-writing songs for Welcome Home with Donovan Woods, Jimmy Rankin and actor Oscar Isaac.   Alan starts a 45-night North American tour Feb 20 with 2 nights in Kelowna.  Feb 29 – Edmonton  N Jube March 1  Calgary  S Jube March 9 Massey Hall   Alan Doyle is a first-class storyteller who takes us through the songs and stories.

We listen in on a kindness call from Jimmy Rankin to a woman from Iqaluit that will be music to your ears.

Mark Leger has been a fan of Dartmouth's Joel Plaskett's for 20 years, listening to his albums and going to his live shows in small suburban coffee shops and arenas with The Tragically Hip. Joel also runs a production studio where he's worked with Maritime musicians like Jimmy Rankin, David Myles and Mo Kenny. He runs a local coffee shop and record store run in partnership with Taz records. He's an entrepreneur, a Juno and ECMA-award winner, and a really interesting guy to talk to about music, family, the challenges of the pandemic, and life in the Maritimes.

As we consider the contributions of storyteller and teacher Jim St. Clair, we consider some of the impacts on the stories he told, and to the people that he told them TO... especially his influence on singer / songwriter Jimmy Rankin of Mabou.

To help celebrate the 25th anniversary of the East Coast Music Awards, CBC Music invited listeners to nominate and vote for their top 10 east coast songs. The songs were performed to a capacity crowd at the Spatz Theatre in Halifax by Jimmy Rankin, Ben Caplan, Maureen Ennis, Kim Stockwood, and Jenn Grant.

Jimmy Rankin recently picked up sticks and moved to Nashville but before he did he dropped by the Drive Studio for an up close and intimate performance of songs from his latest CD ‘Forget About The World'. Jimmy also chose a fitting cover song for the session, The Cars, Drive.
