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

SUMMARY:Performing July 13: Chandler Billinghurst
DESCRIPTION:Chandler Billinghurst is a comedian with the kind of name that sounds like he should either own a vineyard or get heckled at one. He brings sharp observations\, quick turns\, and just enough charm to make terrible life choices seem relatable. On stage\, Chandler mixes wit and honesty\, finding the funny in everyday chaos\, awkward moments\, and the general confusion of being alive. He’s proof that sometimes the best way to survive adulthood is to laugh at it first.
