  Concert in the Harbour with Matthew Byrne

  $15 8 pm
  
  Matthew Byrne was born into a family of music makers from Placentia Bay, Newfoundland, and his repertoire is heavily influenced by this unique singing tradition. It is a tradition that thrives on the song the weaving of a great story with a beautiful melody and Matthew's music reminds us how satisfying traditional songs can be when stripped down to these basic elements. His live performance offers tasteful and honest interpretations of folk music delivered with polished guitar work and powerful vocals. His repertoire transcends time and place and offers a collection of traditional songs from both sides of the Atlantic.
  Matthew is also bouzouki player and vocalist for The Dardanelles a super group of young traditional players from Newfoundland who've made quite a name for themselves throughout the North American folk festival circuit in only a few short years. Since his entry into the group in 2010, Matthew has performed at numerous notable venues including the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Celtic Connections in Glasgow, UK, and The Woodford Folk Festival in Queensland, Australia.
  Matthew is currently promoting his brand new album, "Hearts & Heroes", which is now available in stores and online. Visit www.matthewbyrne.net for more info.
