SUMMARY:Rankin's Winter Warmers
DESCRIPTION:Winter is long\, but it doesn’t have to feel that way…  \nRankin MacInnis is a Maritime musician with a unique kind of show. \nSaturday afternoons in Halifax have become synonymous with “Rankin’s Winter Warmers” at The Marquee. \n\nFrom January to March\, MacInnis makes the trip from Mabou\, Cape Breton\, to Halifax to host what has become one the most popular events in the city. \n“Speaking of Cape Breton\, the concept\, I think\, kind of developed in the way I would have been developed in Mabou\, with kitchen parties and the sharing of music\,” he says. \nMacInnis always wears a hockey jersey during his performances and does everything from singing to playing the bagpipes. \nHe not only takes the stage with his eight-piece band\, but is joined each week by special guests. \n“Jimmy Rankin has been on the stage\, Carmen Townsand\, (The) Town Heroes\,” MacInnis says. \nThe shows welcome people of all ages. \n“The older we get\, the more perfect it is\,” jokes MacInnis. \n“Rankin’s Winter Warmers” has become so popular it won best event at the 2023 Music Nova Scotia Awards and MacInnis took home the prize for Entertainer of the Year as well. \n“It was a big moment\,” he says. \nFor those who haven’t experienced the concert series yet\, MacInnis says there is still time\, with three weeks and four shows left. \nMacInnis adds the shows are “for everyone.” \n“Mostly upbeat\, all fun music\, but we do our best to celebrate all genres\,” he says. “So even if you only like a certain amount\, it’s like the same as like the weather in Scotland\, just wait five minutes and you’ll get something different.” — CTV \nTickets $28.50

SUMMARY:Mark Fewer & Mathieu Gaudet
DESCRIPTION:Pianist Mathieu Gaudet and violinist Mark Fewer come together for a captivating program that spans two centuries of musical brilliance. With a deep connection to Beethoven’s “Spring Sonata\,” Gaudet and Fewer infuse it with a lively vibrancy\, intertwining lyrical beauty with dynamic energy. Canadian composer Chris Paul Harman’s “After Clementi” offers a bold\, contemporary reimagining of classical forms\, pushing boundaries and exploring new textures\, and George Enescu’s “Romanian Folk Style Sonata” weaves evocative melodies and intricate harmonies\, immersing listeners in the rich landscape of Eastern European folk traditions. The program also features the premier of an original composition from Mathieu Gaudet. A Juno Award-winner\, Fewer brings expressive depth and fearless versatility to every performance\, while Gaudet’s nuanced playing adds clarity and warmth. Known for his extensive repertoire and innovative artistry\, Gaudet’s performance is complemented by Fewer’s genre-defying violin mastery\, with over 200 works premiered throughout his career. Together\, they deliver a performance that celebrates the fusion of tradition and innovation\, blending virtuosity\, emotion\, and creativity in a truly dynamic experience. Season Sponsor: Nice Moves / Red Door Realty. \nThis performance is made possible with the generous support of Laura Jantek. \nTickets

SUMMARY:Ty Messick & Friends
DESCRIPTION:One of our most under-rated songwriters and performers\, Ty Messick\, with friends including Pictou County singing legend Virgil Muir\, will return to The Carleton for their first show of 2026 on Saturday\, January 24th. Show time is 8 PM and tickets are only $10 + HST. \nTheir sets will include Ty’s original music from his album releases as well as covering some wicked tunes. We’ll have standing room for this show\, so to secure a seat\, get there early! \nTy Messsick was born in Philadelphia\, P.A  in 1979\, soaked up a lifetime of Philly K-Rock and campus WXPN radio and then moved to St. Margaret’s Bay\, Nova Scotia\, at 13 years old. At 19\, Tyler encountered Joel Plaskett playing Down at the Khyber in Hell’s Kitchen and was given a roadmap to East Coast rock ‘n roll. Tyler is also known by his stage name\, Museum Pieces. \nHis original songwriting became public knowledge in 2003\, when his first album\, Grain Sales of 1840was nominated for an ECMA. He has since released 6 full length albums including: Philadelphia (2005)\, Plain Sight (2018) and Sun’s Gonna Rise (2023). \nHis sound is a mix of Rock and Traditional – and his recordings often draw comparisons to other Philadelphia-born bands Kurt Vile\, and War on Drugs. Messick spent many years collaborating with notable Island and Scotian acts such as Al Tuck\, Joel Plaskett\, Matt Mays\, Jill Barber\, Rose Cousins… and the list goes on. More recently Messick has toured with the Big Turnips artists roster\, and worked with Absolute Losers\, Two Hours Traffic\, and Gizmo – the new PEI pop rock bands. \n“Tyler’s songs make rain slow down a little bit and flowers blossom a little harder. Every song makes me sigh and high with relief. Hands down my favourite band.” Matt Mays \n“This band tends to have a way with melody that most people work so very hard to acquire.” – Chris Wibbs for Exclaim! Magazine \n“stately folk pop” – Magnet Magazine \n“Tyler Messick fills the number with boundless soul\, as if it’s the culmination of an epic\, troubled love story. There’s enough heart here to represent a young man’s whole lifetime\, the better and the worse\, and enough guitar\, too. He sounds as if he grew up with these chords\, just waiting for the chance. And he kills it.”  – Sean Michaels\, Said the Gramaphone From the Globe and Mail \nTyler Messick “Grain Sales of 1840 (expanded version) 2002 on Spotify \nMuseum Pieces “Philadelphia” album on Spotify \nMuseum Pieces “Plain Sight” on Spotify \nTyler Messick “Suns Gonna Rise” album 2023 \nTickets
