With its direct correspondence to the electronic structure, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is a ubiquitous tool for the study of solids. When extended to the temporal domain, time-resolved (TR)-ARPES offers the potential to move beyond equilibrium properties, exploring both the unoccupied electronic structure as well as its dynamical response under ultrafast perturbation. By performing high-harmonic generation inside a femtosecond enhancement cavity (fsEC), we realized a practical source for TR-ARPES that achieves a flux of over 10^11 photons/s delivered to the sample, and operates over a range of 8-40 eV with a repetition rate of 60 MHz. This source enables TR-ARPES studies with a temporal and energy resolution of 190 fs and 22 meV, respectively. To showcase the capabilities of this setup, we develop a novel approach to determine the mode-projected electron-phonon matrix element in graphite, with unprecedented sensitivity, directly in the time domain.
