SUMMARY:NMC Presents: Eddy Fest
DESCRIPTION:In honour of the King Eddy’s 120th anniversary\, NMC presents
  Eddy Fest\, a three-day music festival from August 14-16\, celebrating eve
 ry chapter of the venue’s history.\n\nEddy Fest showcases an eclectic mix
  of performances that represent the venue’s past and present — from blu
 es and rock to country and singer-songwriters!\n\nThe King Eddy has lived m
 any lives over of its 120-year existence. Built between 1905 and 1907 as th
 e King Edward Hotel on 9 Avenue SE (then known as “Whiskey Row”)\, it p
 rovided a home away from home for settlers\, railway workers\, travellers\,
  and people from all walks of life. Decades later\, it became an important 
 part of the city’s music scene during its heyday as “Calgary’s Home o
 f the Blues” from the early 1980s until it closed in 2004. That rich civi
 c and musical history is the primary reason that the National Music Centre 
 worked to save the King Eddy and build its new home around the venue. When 
 the reimagined King Eddy reopened in 2018\, it did so with a mandate to con
 tinue offering a welcoming space for legendary live music — “all music 
 for all people.” Now\, the Eddy celebrates its 120th anniversary alongsid
 e the 10th birthday of NMC’s home\, Studio Bell\, remaining an important 
 piece of Calgary’s music story and one of the oldest music venues in Cana
 da that is still in operation today.\n\nEddy Fest Lineup\n\nFriday Night (A
