Matt the Music Man McFarlane

Matt the Music Man is an award-winning children's performer (and solo rock musician) who plays guitars, ukulele, harmonica & kazoo, and has a platypus for a sidekick! Through humour, stories, and songs like "The Best at Being You," “Everyday Superheroes,” “Dinosaur In the Candy Store,” and "Pirates from Yarmouth," Matt’s interactive show is about the importance of self-confidence and respect. Matt makes a point to not downplay his music lyrically or musically too much for children because he understands how smart children are and he wants older audiences to be entertained as well. You’ll smile, laugh and even find yourself singing along!

6:30-8:00 pm
Dave Taylor ad John Wilson
What?! Yep . . . you heard that right. For the price of entry only, you can hear Dave Taylor (visiting from Nashville) and John Wilson burn up the stage and charge the air with downright incredible guitarwork and vocals. The chance to hear music like this, in a setting as intimate and chill as the Hfx Co Exhibition, is magic. Blow the cover off this best-kept-secret, grab your buddies and catch Dave and John live. We’ve been trying to get them back for years and finally got lucky. Grab your Exhibition food and make it the tent in time to grab a seat for this rare treat.

7:00pm
Location: Iin the ole’ Dance Hall (aka Beer Hall)
Line Dancing with Faye Stewart
No experience necessary. Join our free spirited and energetic host and her faithful and fun following of Valley pals who like to have a good time with heel-toe, heel-toe, grapevine, shuffle, and laugh! Let loose and join in the fun with friends and neighbours, good music and great instruction.
