Ellen McIlwaine

It’s been a while, Calgary! Celebrate the reopening weekend of the revived King Eddy live music venue, restaurant, and bar.

Have a drink with us, taste the new King Eddy menu, and catch our first headliner, Ellen McIlwaine, gracing our stage for back-to-back performances on July 20 and 21.

Born in Nashville, living in Japan from the age of two as part of an International Community, this slide guitar legend grew up listening to a combination of New Orleans R & B, European Classical, Grand Ole Opry, Japanese Shamisen, Indian Citar, and much more of what is now called “World Music”.

Her high energy Rhythm & Blues, along with Middle Eastern laments, Indian, Pakistani & West African influences and a capella Gospel numbers all drive her amazing Slide Guitar and Vocal Acrobatics to make for a dynamic show.

NO COVER. Doors open at 7 pm
