Music Nova Scotia's Entertainer of the Year comes with a big band and a big sound. Known for their eclectic, high-energy shows, Rankin and the Broken Reeds bring together the region’s top musical talent for a live-music experience unlike anything you’ve seen before -- one that feels like it spans time and genres, from traditional folk to future pop, fueled by a lot of groove and finished with a bit of grit.

Together, the band has built an award-winning music festival (Blueberry Jam), a first-of-its-kind concert series (Rankin’s Winter Warmers), and a community of creative collaborators who are up for anything -- and fans who can’t wait to see what’s next.

As our headlining act, the Broad Cove Scottish Concert is excited to welcome Rankin MacInnis and The Broken Reeds to the stage on July 27, 2025.

Known for their unique blend of traditional Scottish music and contemporary influences, this talented group promises to deliver a memorable performance that will resonate with audiences.

Join us for an evening of captivating melodies and vibrant energy, as we celebrate the rich cultural heritage that makes our event special.​
