SUMMARY:Songsmith Sundays with Carter Felker
DESCRIPTION:Every week\, country-folk singer-songwriter Carter Felker presents a chill weekend set with a rotating cast of guests. \nThis family-friendly show is best paired with our delicious Sunday brunch! \nBrunch menu: https://kingeddy.ca/menu \nAbout Carter Felker: \nBorn and raised in the Prairies\, Carter Felker’s eyes have seen the length of the wheat fields through many winter mornings\, and the stretch of the sun through many short-lived summers. He has laboured\, he has lost\, and he has loved. Carter uses his own experience\, and his desire to tell a story to create honest\, human-made\, country music. \n“Carter Felker traffics in music\, yes\, but even more profoundly in essence: the humdrum essence of Monday morning alarms clocks coming round again during lifetimes ticking on through thoughtless dawn moments walking across the kitchen floor; the craven essence of sneaking wordlessly away from a relationship and feeling the mute screen door sag shut behind you; the essence of everyday struggles.” – MLW \n— \nMusic starts at 11:30 amNo cover

DESCRIPTION:Tres Beaches & Friends present Calgary Stampede’s Biggest Day Party  \n\nBack for year two\, Tres Beaches is taking over National Saloon’s outdoor beer garden again during Stampede.  Daytime\, open-air\, and built around what actually works: good music\, drinks in hand\, and a packed crowd from start to finish. \n\n\nLast year set the tone\, this is the follow-up. \n Coffee\, pancakes\, spritzes\, and a proper day party instead of just another lineup poster.    \n👉 Free coffee + pancakes (while supplies last!!)  \n👉 Tres Beaches + friends (multi-city lineup)  \n👉 National Saloon outdoor beer garden  \n👉 Free RSVP before 1PM \nDate : Sunday\, July 6 Time : 12PM – 4PM \n\nVenue: National Saloon (Outdoor Beer Garden)   Tres Beaches has been running pop-ups across Canada that turn everyday spaces into full rooms\, this is the Stampede version of that\, just outside and in the middle of it all. \n\n Note: Please be aware walk-in cover will be more expensive the day of so RSVP is strongly recommended as it’s cheaper & faster to get in! \n\nAll RSVP tickets are final sale.
