Rum Ragged are a Canadian folk music group from Newfoundland and Labrador.[1] They are most noted for their 2020 album The Thing About Fish, which was a shortlisted Juno Award nominee for Traditional Roots Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2021.[2]

Originally consisting of accordionist Aaron Collis and singer/guitarist Mark Manning, the band released its self-titled debut album in 2016.[3] They followed up with the album The Hard Times and a holiday-themed album titled Rum Ragged at Christmas in 2018, with new supporting members Anthony Chafe on bodhran and Michael Boone on bass and banjo.[4] Chafe and Boone were subsequently replaced by fiddler Colin Grant and multi-instrumentalist Zack Nash in early 2019. [5]

In addition to their Juno Award nomination, the band received two Canadian Folk Music Award nominations, including for New/Emerging Artist of the Year at the 16th Canadian Folk Music Awards.[6] They have been nominated for several East Coast Music Awards, and won eleven MusicNL awards in their time as a band.[7]

The band released their latest album, Gone Jiggin' in the spring of 2024.
