Our Calendar of Events
EHAC offers workshops and concerts each season, creating opportunities for artistic expression and skill development. Based on a curated mix of genres and popularity, and mindful of our superb acoustics, up and coming musicians are invited to perform in our extraordinary space. Workshops are offered whenever teaching professionals visit the Bight and express interest in sharing their craft. Or perhaps an artist in residence will offer a class. Every season is different. Have a look at this season's offerings.

Jul 01
July 1st with Matthew Byrne
8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Fee: $25.00EHAA is pleased to partner with the English Harbour Recreation Committee to present our province's finest balladeer.
Storytelling through song is a fundamental duty of traditional music and one that Matthew Byrne performs brilliantly.
Born into a family of Newfoundland music makers, Matthew's repertoire is heavily influenced by that unique musical lineage "the weaving of a great story with a beautiful melody" and he supports this tradition with powerful vocals, polished guitar work, and a presence that fills the room.His repertoire transcends time and place and hislive performance reminds us how satisfying traditional songs can be when stripped down to their basic elements.
Byrne's music has traveled well beyond the rugged shores of his Newfoundland home since his 2010 debut, Ballads. Touring as both a solo artist as well as singer with The Dardanelles, he has graced major festival stages worldwide. With his second album, Hearts & Heroes, winning Traditional Recording of the Year at the 2015 Canadian Folk Music Awards, Byrne further established himself as one of Canada's most authentic and vital traditional voices.
Matthew Byrne is set to release his highly-anticipated third album - Horizon Lines - in Summer, 2017. This collection is a deeper exploration of traditional songs from both sides of the Atlantic, as well as one original ballad and a guest appearance by Matthew's dad (Joseph Byrne). Horizon Lines continues Matthew's journey through his musical lineage with ever-evolving guitar skills and accompaniment from some of Newfoundland's finest players.
Horizon Lines is available online and in-store on August 11th.

Fox Tales (NOTE TIME CHANGE!!)
Intelligent, resourceful and intrepid the red fox thrives in environments from the Arctic tundra to the spectacular coast of English Harbour, Newfoundland to deep into the heart of bustling cities. These resilient creatures are able to change their behaviour to successfully make a home in new environments at a rate that astounds even the scientists who have spent a lifetime studying them.
Theyre a complex species a fascinating species to study. You think you know it all and then you realize you know very little.
Stephen Harris, University of Bristol
Fox Tales reveals new research into everything from their first hours of life to their first steps into unchartered territory to offer a visually rich and fascinating look into the secret life of red foxes.
Produced by Fantastic Mrs. Fox Inc. in Association with CBC and WNET Thirteen.
With participation from The Canadian Media Fund, Rogers Documentary Fund, Rogers Telefund,
and the Canadian and Ontario Film & Television Production Tax Credits.
