They won six Juno Awards, three Canadian Country Music Awards, an American Country Music TV award and 15 East Coast Music awards. Combined sales of their recordings exceeded 1.5 million copies. Heather was the lead singer on many of their biggest hit records.

Heather, the youngest member of the Rankin Family, released her debut solo album “A Fine Line” in 2016, and was nominated for a Juno Award (Adult contemporary Album of the Year) and two East Coast Music Awards for Folk Recording of the Year, and Fans Choice Video of the Year for ‘We walk as One (Jimmy and Cookie featured on backup vocals).

Heather Rankin and Friends will be stopping at Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre on Feb. 20, 2019.

Fans will hear a mixture of Rankin family songs, and new material from her two albums “A fine Line”, and her 2017 recording “Imagine.”

Rankin’s voice has been shaped by the Gaelic traditions of her home, and by the years she spent singing the songs of her brothers and sisters, but her voice is set free by her new work, and often euphorically so, in a way previously unheard. She continues to forge her own musical legacy with her poetic, intimate original songs, and an eclectic mix of others.
