(Calgary, AB — August 30, 2021) The King Eddy is pleased to announce a new multi-genre concert series presented by the National Music Centre (NMC) and sponsored by Bell that will kick off on September 10.
“We’ll be safely picking up where we left off in 2020 with performances by the Alberta artists that were slated to play but didn’t get a chance to perform, and more new acts have been added to the lineup,” said Adam Fox, NMC’s Director of Programs. “Much like 2020, the National Music Centre will be bringing many of its live music programs over to the King Eddy and building out our live efforts over 2021.”
NMC Presents: Bell Live at the King Eddy will feature acts from across Western Canada and run most Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 pm on days without private event rentals, starting on September 10. There is no cover for all shows. Seating will be first come, first served in the main floor dining room.
