SUMMARY:Gateway Events Presents: Matthew Byrne
LOCATION:King Eddy
DESCRIPTION:Newfoundland folk singer Matthew Byrne hits the legendary Kin
 g Eddy stage with special guests on November 5.\nAbout Matthew Byrne:\nSin
 ce releasing his debut album Ballads in 2010\, Matthew Byrne has establish
 ed himself as one of Canada’s foremost traditional singers. His rich and
  powerful vocals\, refined guitar style\, and compelling interpretations o
 f unique traditional songs have made him a favourite of folk audiences at 
 home in Newfoundland and abroad. After a long hiatus from the studio and t
 he road\, Byrne releases his 4th studio album\, Stealing Time. This projec
 t brought Byrne to Yellow Arch Studios in Sheffield\, UK\, where he teamed
  up with folk legend Martin Simpson as producer. The album features instru
 mentation from some of the finest musicians on the English folk scene\, in
 cluding Nancy Kerr\, Andy Cutting\, and Liz Hanks.\nStorytelling through s
 ong is a fundamental duty of traditional music\, and Matthew does this bri
 lliantly. With parents who were singers and song collectors\, he was broug
 ht up with a strong family focus on sharing songs and has cultivated a dis
 tinctive repertoire and deep appreciation for rediscovering and reinventin
 g traditional material.\n“I’m not a folklorist or ethnomusicologist\, 
 at least not officially. And I’m not a purist. I’ve pored over the nua
 nces of the pub standards as much as the obscure murder balladry. What att
 racts me to a traditional song is the right combination of melody and lang
 uage\, which have always fascinated me.”\nBut Byrne is also a student of
  history\, whose love of traditional music extends far beyond the words an
 d music. For him\, songs are a way of understanding people before him — 
 their lives\, work\, language\, and worldview.\n“I see songs as sources 
 of the past—windows into my family history. Traditional music has always
  been my most important tool for understanding where I come from and who I
  am. My live performance is meant to take audiences on a journey through t
 he lineage of my repertoire and share what these songs have revealed to me
 .”\n\n \n\nKing Eddy offers both seats and standing room at our show
