In honour of the King Eddy’s 120th anniversary, the National Music Centre presents Eddy Fest, a three-day music festival from August 14-16, celebrating every chapter of the venue’s history.
Eddy Fest showcases an eclectic mix of performances that represent the venue’s past and present — from blues and rock to country and singer-songwriters!
The King Eddy has lived many lives over its 120-year existence. Built between 1905 and 1907 as the King Edward Hotel on 9 Avenue SE (then known as “Whiskey Row”), it provided 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 of the Blues” from the early 1980s until it closed in 2004. That rich civic 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 continue offering a welcoming space for legendary live music — “all music for all people.” Now, the Eddy celebrates its 120th anniversary alongside 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 Canada that is still in operation today.

"Shahr-e Gheseh" (The City of Tales) by Bijan Mofid is a renowned Persian play that has captured the hearts of many. The play laments modern individuals who have become estranged from their true selves, losing their inherent characteristics in pursuing societal status. Through its symbolic narrative, "Shahr-e Gheseh" explores identity, personal struggle, and self-alienation themes. It highlights the cost of striving to prove one's identity and the eventual estrangement that results from this relentless pursuit."Shahr-e Gheseh" uses its musical and rhythmic elements to enhance the storytelling, making the satirical and critical themes more impactful. It emphasizes how modern humans, in their quest for recognition and status, often lose touch with their authentic selves, resulting in a loss of true identity.
