And then, after the formalities it’s time to rock! Rankin’s own, The Flatlands and the Midnight News will be sure to get you up and dancing the night away.
The Flatlands—vocalist Sarah Morley, guitarists Ryan Alexander and Ray Ghomeshi, and drummer Evan Morrison — are a Rankin Inlet based rock outfit that showcase a variety of musical genres using guitar, drums, bass, flute, and vocals. The 4 members, originally from the Maritimes, come from a place known for its hilly landscapes, so the term Flatlands was born to describe their Northern home. They will be joined on stage by musical group The Midnight News who are sure to rock your socks off. The evening will include hits from Johnny Cash, Bon Jovi, The Tragically Hip, ACDC, Journey and more!
