Local band opener : Carla & The Dudes.
Jay Gavin grew up in a tiny close-knit Canadian fishing village on Prince Edward Island where the potato fields are lined by red dirt roads, there isn’t a stop light for 100 miles and the kitchen parties go on for days. He quit school in grade nine more interested in fishing and getting into trouble. His hands worn with the cracks and calluses of hard work tell the story of his years supplementing his musical dreams with sweat labor on fishing boats, tobacco fields, logging camps, construction sites and film sets. Jay was greatly inspired by his uncle, a much heralded and beloved fiddle player in the community. “He’s a great musician and he could play anything,” There was, and still is, a ton of great musicians in Tignish. It certainly had its effect on me!” After years touring North America and recording as a bassist with punk & metal bands like Spawner Record’s Huskavarna, and Texas thrash legends Speedealer, Jay came full circle and returned to his roots in country, folk & bluegrass.
In the 1994 classic comedy Dumb and Dumber, dim-witted but good-natured roommates Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) embark on a cross-country road trip from Providence, Rhode Island, to Aspen, Colorado.Their chaotic journey begins when Lloyd, a limousine driver, falls for a passenger named Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly) and accidentally retrieves a briefcase she left behind at the airport terminal.

Music Scene at the Gate House Theatre
Music plays a central role in the programming at the Gate House Theatre. The venue regularly hosts live concerts that span a wide range of genres, from folk and country to rock, jazz, and classical music. Due to its small size, performances are often acoustic or involve minimal amplification, allowing the natural acoustics of the space to shine. This gives concerts a personal, immersive quality.
Local musicians are frequently featured, allowing them to share their talent with the community and gain exposure. The theatre also invites touring artists, providing Port McNeill residents the opportunity to experience diverse musical styles without having to travel to larger cities. In the past, the theatre has hosted performances from solo singer-songwriters, small bands, and even youth music programs, showcasing the area's musical diversity.
The Gate House Theatre is not only a venue but also a catalyst for the arts in Port McNeill, helping to foster a sense of community around the love of music and live performances.
