It’s almost hard to wrap your head around that we are nearly two months removed from the finale of Season IX of Rankin MacInnis’ Winter Warmers.  Kicking off with an annual Christmas show, and then weekly through those chilly Winter months, until things started to thaw out around St. Patty’s Day.   The number of talented guest performers invited to perform over the season is staggering, and even more impressive is the ability of Rankin MacInnis and The Broken Reeds (Luke Levy, Seamus Erskine, Siobhan Martin, Tori Cameron, Zach MacLean, Jordan Bruleigh, and Luke Arsenault) to be able to shift styles and sounds week after week.

I may not have made it out as often as I have in previous seasons, but it was always a highlight of the week when I could get to the Marquee Ballroom on a Saturday afternoon.   The finale was another epic affair, where that joy and exuberance were palpable,  even though it was bittersweet knowing that we wouldn’t be back here together until the holiday season in 9 months.   Like many others, we are counting down to season ten of the Winter Warmers, but we also know there’s a respite ahead with the Blueberry Jam shows later this summer.    Enjoy our gallery, looking back at the season 9 finale of Rankin MacInnis’ Winter Warmers.
