King Eddy Five-Year Anniversary: Matt Masters Happy Hour

Cheers to five years! The King Eddy is hosting a five-day musical celebration featuring an eclectic mix of live music from June 28 to July 2 in honour of the Eddy’s five-year anniversary.

We’re celebrating five years since reopening, but the King Eddy goes back 118 years! Established in 1905, the King Edward Hotel was Calgary’s second oldest hotel and the longest operating bar and hotel when it closed in 2004. After over a decade of silence, the revitalized King Eddy re-opened as a live music venue, restaurant, and bar in 2018 as part of the National Music Centre development. Today, the Eddy continues as a cornerstone of music, community, and culture, building on its storied musical legacy.

Country and western crooner Matt Masters performs his favourite tunes on our legendary stage for the happiest time of day at the King Eddy. Come on down to the Eddy for brews and tunes and help us put the “happy” in Happy Hour from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm!
