Sat 1/20 The Lone Sharks 10:00 pm Gen Admin: $10

Gene Casey, guitarist, singer, songwriter, founded the Lone Sharks in the early summer of 1988. He had just moved to Sag Harbor, on the east end of Long Island, after having lived in NYC and playing in various bands in what could be described as "the tail end of the punk/new wave scene," as Gene puts it, "and I do mean the tail." Lots of gigs, lots of demos, but no records and no stardom. "I guess I should be grateful that I got to play those rooms, like the MuddClub, Max's Kansas City, Peppermint Lounge, and CBGB's. They all had such fantastic dressing rooms." Out on the east end, Gene found several little bars that were open to paying for live music. The Lone Sharks were formed more or less as a lark. "To drink beer, and play our favorite songs." Years later, "not that much has changed.”Kidding aside, things have been upped a notch or two. The Sharks play up to 150 gigs a year, and most of them are still out east where a devoted following keeps the band working year round. The Lone Shark CDs, consisting mostly of Gene's self-penned tunes have been a catalyst for newer and better things. "We've learned a lot in putting them out. What to do, and what not to do. We’re still trying to capture our live sound.” Gene plays a battered 1967 Gretsch Anniversary hollow body guitar, and usually wears black attire "because Johnny Cash and Orson Welles did, though I'm not sure they did for the same reason." Shark fans have come to expect the usual on-stage theatrics from Gene: duckwalks, windmills, and show-stopping splits, a la T-Bone Walker and Chuck Berry. "They're not really splits," says Gene. "I can't get low enough. They're more splats." After many years living in Sag Harbor, Gene has recently moved to the wilds of the East End’s North Fork, drawing inspiration from the farms and vineyards that make up this decidedly less hectic area.

Sat 1/27 Annie Morgan Band 10:00 pm Gen Admin: $10

Annie Morgan has been called the best soul/R&B singer on Long Island. A long time staple on the East End music scene, fronting such local favorites as the Poor Lost Souls, Round Trip and Moving Target, Annie possesses incredible vocal range and her band includes some of the finest players on the east end. Annie does what only the very best singers do, she gives those who come to listen something of herself. She does this openly, honestly and without artifice. There’s no holding back, she’s exciting to listen to and exciting to watch. The music comes at you like heat lightning. The electricity she generates snaps, crackles and the place rocks!

"Picasso at the Lapin Agile" tells the story of a fictional 1904 meeting in a bar between three men who went on to have a tremendous impact on the 20th century -- Pablo Picasso, Albert Einstein and a strange visitor from the future: Elvis Presley. In 1904, the 23-year-old Picasso is three years away from painting his reputation-launching "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon". Albert Einstein is 25 and a year shy of publishing his Special Theory of Relativity. The play centers on the chance meeting of the two men in the Lapin Agile, where they begin a conversation that evolves into a humorous, thought-provoking examination of where mankind will wander in the 20th century.

Photographer Pete Turner will exhibit photographs from his new book The Color of Jazz

Throughout his career, Pete Turner has relentlessly pushed the medium of photography to achieve an extraordinary vision with an uncompromising thirst for bold color and composition. Yet he feels that “what really kept my name out there were these record covers.” This book showcases 100 covers and their art in close to original size; many of the covers are rare and out-of-print, now collector’s items, and connect to a who’s who of musical legends from Count Basie, John Coltrane, and Stan Getz, to Quincy Jones, Freddie Hubbard, and Steely Dan. Turner’s covers set new standards for this medium and transformed albums into art objects, sought after both for the music they contain and the cover art they display. Through Wed 1/31

Lead Artist: Josh Gladstone Featuring Kate Mueth, Josh Gladstone and an ensemble cast TBA. “No one knows better than Sam Shepard that the true American West is gone forever, but there may be no writer alive more gifted at reinventing it out of pure literary air. Like so many Shepard plays, Fool for Love is a western for our time. We watch a pair of figurative gunslingers fight to the finish - not with bullets, but with piercing words. As theater, Fool for Love could be called an indoor rodeo. The setting is a present-day motel room on the edge of the Mojave Desert, where, for 90 minutes, May and Eddie batter one another against the walls.” NY Times

Fri 2/23 The Seagull by Anton Chekhov at the Montauk Public Library 871 Montauk Highway, on the north side of Rte 27 in The Meeting Room (lower level) 668-3377

Chekhov’s first great play lays bare its comedy and its cruelty. Whether its love, sex, fame, or simply a trip into town, each character is denied the thing they most crave. The setting is Sorin's estate, where a group of family and friends are spending the languid summer months. Included are Sorin's sister, the famous actress Arkadina; her sensitive would-be-writer son, Treplev; and the charming, successful author Trigorin. The action concerns the interweaving of their lives and all the romance, intrigue, hopes and disappointments that life leads to. Harris Yulin will play Trigorin opposite his wife, actress Kristen Lowman, who will portray Akadina. Other members of the ensemble cast include Brett Fleischer as Konstantin, Gerard Doyle as Sorin, Tina Jones as Nina, Kate Mueth as Masha, Josh Perl as Dr. Dorn, Lydia Franco-Hodges as Polina, Shashi Balooja as Medvedenko, Josh Gladstone as Shamrayev and Dan Becker as Yakov.

Tues 2/27 Who’s Not Ready to Holler by Peter Zablotsky

Featuring an ensemble cast TBA. What if, at that moment in your life when you most wanted to disappear...you discovered you could? WHO'S NOT READY HOLLER I is about just that -- about confronting the magician within; about the magic we all conjure to conceal the most vulnerable part of ourselves; about the consequences of our conjuring. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PLAY: an earlier draft of WHO'S NOT READY HOLLER I was presented as part of the 2003 New York City International Fringe Festival. Peter Zablotsky has lived in East Hampton for three years and has been writing for twenty. Other works include OFF THE METER, which was selected for presentation at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center National Playwrights Conference (Lloyd Richards, Artistic Director) and The GeVa Theater French Roast Festival, and produced Off-Broadway on Theatre Row, New York City; H. FINN, ESQ., which was produced Off-Broadway at the Hudson Guild Theatre, New York, NY; THE POOL WITH FIVE PORCHES, which won the Georgia National One-Act Play Festival and was also presented at the 2006 NYC International Fringe Festival.

Lenz Mid-Winter Winemaker Cellar Tours Saturdays and Sundays in February and early March

An amazing series of cellar tours each year in the depths of winter. The tours are for small groups (maximum of 10-12), led by our winemaker - - the irrepressible Eric Fry - - and take 2-3 hours. These are serious wine tours! Visit in winter? Well, the disadvantage is that it’s chilly, so please dress warmly and casually. But the big advantage is that there’s so much more to taste. Each year, after harvest, we ferment the wines. By the end of January, the fermentations are complete. Even the secondary malo-lactic fermentations are mostly finished. At this stage you start to see the vintage as a whole: good or not-so-good? Better for whites or for reds? Did the cabernet come through? How are the small plantings of malbec, petit verdot and cabernet franc contributing? Is the pinot gris ready for prime time? How is the ‘new’ merlot block producing - - now that it’s over 12 years old? You can also see how numerous choices we have made will affect the wine. We can demonstrate the impact of various factors like vine age, crop load, grape ripeness, fermentation temperature, yeast variety, barrel fermentation, type of French oak (i.e. which forest), specific blends - - yes, each of these things makes a discernible difference! Tours are currently available at 11am and 2pm each weekend day from February 3rd and 4th until March 3rd & 4th. Last year we had over 200 people sign up - - so please don’t delay! Free for Subscribers / $25 for non-Subscribers

This slideshow is for both adults and children 5 years and up.

Fri 2/16 Jon Cleary 10:30 pm Gen Admin: $15

That New Orleans produces the world's funkiest rhythm sections was an unassailable truism long before rock'n' roll, as well as after. One wonders if, with all the city's post-Katrina challenges, the lineage can continue. Such worries were put off on Friday, though, as Jon Cleary and his Absolute Monster Gentlemen shook the chandeliers at Coda as if the Manhattan club were an especially busy bordello.

The Cleary foursome's groove is tight but loose, with the way the air moves around the beat being the Crescent City's secret spice. Yet, true to their ideal name, the group has gentler virtues to go along with that monstrous pulse. The rhythm eventually got Friday-night dirty in "Unnecessarily Mercenary," but the tag-team vocals that introduced the song were Sunday-morning sweet.

Sat 3/24 Opening reception 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

The 69th Annual Guild Hall Member’s Exhibition is the oldest non-juried exhibition remaining on Long Island. It is also an especially meaningful show to us, as it allows Guild Hall to directly engage with the artistic community that helps support and inspire this institution all year long. With more and more artists participating every year, we hope that you’ll be one of them! For 2007 only, the show has been organized into two separate groups: Member’s Show I (last names A-L) from March 24 through April 21, 2007 and Member’s Show II (last names M-Z) from May 5 – June 2. Awards recipients will be announced during the opening receptions: Member’s Show I on Saturday, March 24th, 4-6PM and Member’s Show II on Saturday, May 5, 4-6PM. The two Top Honors winners will each be awarded a solo exhibition in the Museum the following year. Winners of the Catherine and Theo Hios Landscape Award will each receive a check for $250.00. Additionally, there are awards in the following categories: Best Representational Painting, Best Abstract Painting, Best Sculpture, Best Work on Paper, Best Mixed Media, Best Photograph and numerous Honorable Mention citations. While the Member’s Show will look a bit different this year, we expect it will two times the usual excitement and vitality. We look forward to seeing old friends, meeting new artists, and sharing a dynamic 69th Annual Member’s Exhibition with you all.

Sun 3/4 Be With Me

A film by Eric Khoo “Will hypnotize and fill you with constant emotions and pure sensations.” – Premiere Magazine Winner, Stockholm Film Festival Winner, Indianapolis Int’l Film Festival Winner, Best Director, Torino Film Festival. Be With Me is a tapestry of three stories woven around the themes of love, hope, tragedy and redemption. Although the main characters come from different backgrounds and lead different lives, they are bound by one common desire—to be with their loved one. Unbeknownst to them, these different souls will share the same stage in a play written by Fate. The protagonists in the movie are fictitious bar one—Theresa Chan, a courageous deaf and blind woman whose life inspired the film.

Sun 3/11 Monster Thursday
A film by Arild Ommundsen. Three friends, one love triangle and the quest for the perfect wave. Winner, Official Selection, Sundance Film Festival. Official Selection, Iceland Int’l Film Festival. Official Selection Cleveland Int’l Film Festival. Old friends Even and Tord live on the Norway coast. A handsome career guy and excellent surfer, Tord marries Karen, who Even has always loved. Despite the fact the Karen is expecting a child; Tord goes away on a business trip to Singapore and asks Even to look after Karen while he is gone. With Tord away, Even decides to make his move—he even decides to learn to surf to impress Karen. But which way will the ways break?

Sun 3/18 AALTRA
Directors Benoit Delephine & Gustave Kervern. “If you’re not laughing yet, you soon will be, as this is one of funniest black comedies in some time.” Time Out New York. “Hilarious!” The Village Voice. Winner, Best Belgian Actor, Belgian Academy Awards. Official Selection, Tribeca Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival. In this irreverent road movie, comedians Benoit Delephine and Gustave Kervern, who wrote, directed and co-star, show a distinct flair for understated physical comedy and defiantly non-political correct humor. Two rural neighbors who hate each other come to blows one day on a farm and get tangled up in an agricultural tractor, leaving them both paralyzed, and wheel-chair bound, and simmering with spite. Rather than feel sorry for themselves, the embittered paraplegics decide to roll across Europe to see revenge against the tractor’s manufacturer.

Sun 3/25 Something Like Happiness

Written and directed by Bohdan Slama. Czech Republic: Czek with English subtitles. Monika, Tonik and Dash grew up together in the same housing project on the outskirts of a small industrial city. Now the childhood friends are adults, each struggling with feelings of desire and loneliness, longing and failure. Though none would admit it, each craves something the other one has and it’s these unspoken longings which bind them in difficult, complex and passionate friendships. Vibrant and deeply affecting, Something Like Happiness is a funny, tender, and very human drama of passions and lives half understood and veering out of control, shadowed by tragedy, shot through with hope.

The Naked Stage – Staged Play Readings in The Boots Lamb Education Center at Guild Hall 7:30 pm

Tues 3/6 Glengary Glen Ross by David Mamet

Lead Artist: Michael Nathanson, Featuring Joe DeSane, Peter Fitzgerald, Josh Perl, Jonathan Peters, Josh Gladstone and an ensemble cast TBA. This scalding comedy took Broadway and London by storm and won a Pulitzer Prize. Never has the author's ear for the rhythms of contemporary speech been more keen than in this tale of cutthroat competition among real estate salesmen. Roma is in the lead for the monthly sales award, a new Cadillac, while former top salesman Shelly Levene is riding a streak of bad luck. They are dependent on Williamson to give them hot leads, and Williamson ruthlessly pits them against each other. "Crackling tension ... ferocious comedy and drama." N.Y. Times. "Wonderfully funny.... A play to see, remember and cherish." N.Y. Post.

Tues 3/13 An Evening of Irish Lore Featuring Readings of J.M. Synge and Other Irish Writers

Tues 3/27 Fools by Neil Simon
Lead Artist: Kate Mueth. Featuring Michael Nathanson, Josh Perl, Josh Gladstone and an ensemble cast TBA. To the denizens of a village cursed by the plague of stupidity, life is an unbroken line of non sequiturs and dumb jokes. In Kulyenchikov, reason is unreasonable and common sense is uncommon. The trains don't stop there. When Tolchinsky, the schoolmaster, arrives with a mission to lift the curse -- determined to last through one night, as none before him -- and to prove that knowledge is everybody's birthright.

Don’t miss the rare opportunity to see this salamander as it makes its way to the pond to mate and to lay its eggs. Please bring a flashlight and wear boots, as late winter rains will make the ground soggy. Walk is dependent on the occurrence of heavy rains. To visit the New York State’s Environmental Conservation Website about this fascinating salamander, go to: http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/wildlife/endspec/tisafs.html

THE BLAGGARDS - not your typical Long Island bar band.

Think of a great roadhouse jukebox; that's what the Blaggards are all about.

Sat 4/28 Illustrated Birding Lecture with a following Wine and Cheese Reception 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm

The first in the series of three South Fork Natural History Museum birding lectures given by prominent South Fork birders: An Ear for Birding. Lecture Leader: Joe Giunta. Opening the series will be Joe Giunta’s illustrated lecture on birding by songs and calls. The more ways you have to identify a bird the more you will enjoy birding. The eye is attracted to a bird’s colorful plumage and to movement, but it is not always possible to get a good look at a bird. Our ears hear sounds 360 degrees around us. If you can add the recognition of birdsongs and calls to your visual inventory the odds are that you will have a much greater success at birding. In this lecture Joe will discuss the nature of birdcalls and songs. Calls consist of whistles that are slurred either up or down in pitch, and in a distinctive rhythm, with notes repeated rapidly or slowly with pauses of varying duration. Songs on the other hand are fairly complex vocalizations usually by the male to establish and defend a territory as well as to attract and impress a mate. Calls are usually simpler and they are given by males and females both adult and young. There is no charge for members of the South Fork Natural History Museum. Nonmembers are charged $60 for the lecture series or $25 for each individual lecture which includes the wine and cheese reception. To sign up for membership call (631) 537-9735 or e-mail sofo@hamptons.com to receive a membership form.

Thurs 4/12, Fri 4/13, Sat 4/14, Thurs 4/19, Fri 4/20, Sat 4/21 "Brilliant Traces" by Cindy Lou Johnson – A play presented by Skymaker Productions 8:00 pm

Set in a remote cabin in the wilds of Alaska, a runaway bride charged with uncommon energy explodes into the life of an anguished hermit. While a freezing white-out rages around them, man and woman simultaneously attract and repel each other through a series of funny and brutal exchanges. This Sag Harbor happening will take place in the old brick church which is now a private residence at 160 Division Street. The audience experiences the action from the unique perspective of being seated within the set itself. Walking off Division Street and into a one-room Alaskan cabin will be the first step the audience takes on this wild ride through love, loss, and redemption.
Cindy Lou Johnsons Brilliant Traces was first presented by the Circle Reperatory Company in 1989 with Joan Cuscack and Kevin Anderson. With Brilliant Traces, we are proud to feature the acting talents of Sag Harbor actors Joseph Pallister (Stanley in Street Car Named Desire, John in Summer and Smoke, Bill in Lobby Hero) and Minerva Scelza (Savage in Savage in Limbo, Charlotta in The Cherry Orchard, and Barbara in The Lawless Sun). Skymaker is also lucky to have the Directing talent of east-ender Josh Gladstone, John Drew Theater's Artistic Director and former Artistic Director of the Hamptons Shakespeare Festival.

The Amagansett Free Library is pleased to announce that Katherine C. H. Epstein will once again lead Flower Meditations at the library on Wednesday mornings in the Community room. The meditations are designed for anyone interested in meditating: novice, beginner, or even the advanced meditator. For those who have never meditated, the flower meditations offer an approach in which it is easy to feel success right from the start. For those who have meditated before, adding flowers deepens the practice. Each meditation explores a different approach to meditating with flowers, and each class will be geared to the needs and desires of its participants. Epstein will use projected images of her own photographs of (mostly local) flowers as she leads the meditations. The fee for each class is $15.00. Participants should wear loose-fitting clothing. Chairs will be provided. Anyone who prefers to meditate on a mat or large cushion should bring one to the class. Contact: Katherine C. H. Epstein Phone: 267-3810

Sat 4/14 Telly 10:00 pm $10

Having no formal musical education to speak of or family member with an old guitar to pass down, this "singer/songwriter by default" has been finding his way around the music scene through trial and lots of error. Numerous stints as the uncertain frontman of uncertain bands that never made it out of the basement frustrated him into going it alone. His style was born from the bars and beach parties he's been performing at since college. From pop ballads to blues ditties, hard-driving rock to funked up freestyle jams and with an ever-evolving cast of talent, the essence of great songwriting shines through whether he's backed up by a band or up there alone just a man and his guitar.

Fri 4/20 David Lindley 8:00 pm $35 VIP/$20 Gen.

Multi-instrumentalist David Lindley performs music that redefines the word "eclectic." Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, and leader of his own band El Rayo-X, has long championed the concept of world music. The David Lindley electro-acoustic performance effortlessly combines American folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions with elements from African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic, Malagasy, and Turkish musical sources. Lindley incorporates an incredible array of stringed instruments including but not limited to Kona and Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud, and Irish bouzouki. The eye-poppingly clad "Mr. Dave's" uncanny vocal mimicry and demented sense of humor make his onstage banter a highlight of the show.

Fri 4/20 Black Rebels 10:30 pm Gen Admin: $15

Welcome. We are Black Rebels, and we play world reggae from the roots of creation. We have been serving up one drop music for over 20 years, from our roots in Africa to our home in New England.

Fri 4/27 The Ventures 8:00 pm $75 VIP/$60 Gen

Not the first but definitely the most popular rock instrumental combo, the Ventures scored several hit singles during the 1960s -- most notably "Walk-Don't Run" and "Hawaii Five-O" -- but made their name in the growing album market, covering hits of the day and organizing thematically linked LPs. Almost 40 Ventures' albums charted, and 17 hit the Top 40. And though the group's popularity in America virtually disappeared by the 1970s, their enormous contribution to pop culture was far from over; the Ventures soon became one of the most popular world-wide groups, with dozens of albums recorded especially for the Japanese and European markets. They toured continually throughout the 1970s and '80s -- influencing Japanese pop music of the time more than they had American music during the '60s.

Fri 4/27 The Lone Sharks 10:30 pm Gen Admin: $10

The Sharks play up to 150 gigs a year, and most of them are still out east where a devoted following keeps the band working year round. The Lone Shark CDs, consisting mostly of Gene's self-penned tunes have been a catalyst for newer and better things. "We've learned a lot in putting them out. What to do, and what not to do. We’re still trying to capture our live sound.” Gene plays a battered 1967 Gretsch Anniversary hollow body guitar, and usually wears black attire "because Johnny Cash and Orson Welles did, though I'm not sure they did for the same reason." Shark fans have come to expect the usual on-stage theatrics from Gene: duckwalks, windmills, and show-stopping splits, a la T-Bone Walker and Chuck Berry. "They're not really splits," says Gene. "I can't get low enough. They're more splats."

Tues 5/8 On the Verge; or The Geography of Yearning by Eric Obermyer
Lead Artist: Molly McKenna. Featuring an ensemble cast TBA. “Cross the wordplay of S J Perelman with the world-in-a-time-warp vision of Caryl Churchill and you might approximate the special flavor of ON THE VERGE. In Eric Overmyer's chimerical comedy, three Victorian lady explorers set out on an adventure that takes them to darkest Africa, highest Himalaya and Terra Incognita.... A frolicsome jaunt through a continuum of space, time, history, geography, feminism and fashion, Mr. Overmyer's cavalcade is on the verge of becoming a thoroughly serendipitous journey." New York Times. "With a handful of plays...Eric Overmyer has established himself as one of contemporary theater's wittiest playwrights." Jan Stuart, Seven Days. "Eric Overmyer [is] one of this nation's most accomplished and vividly imaginative playwrights." Wayne Johnson, The Seattle Times

Sat 5/5 – Sat 6/2 The 69^th Annual Guild Hall Members Exhibition II – Artists M-Z

Sat 5/5 Opening Reception 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

The 69th Annual Guild Hall Member’s Exhibition is the oldest non-juried exhibition remaining on Long Island. It is also an especially meaningful show to us, as it allows Guild Hall to directly engage with the artistic community that helps support and inspire this institution all year long. With more and more artists participating every year, we hope that you’ll be one of them! For 2007 only, the show has been organized into two separate groups: Member’s Show I (last names A-L) from March 24 through April 21, 2007 and Member’s Show II (last names M-Z) from May 5 – June 2. Awards recipients will be announced during the opening receptions. The two Top Honors winners will each be awarded a solo exhibition in the Museum the following year. Winners of the Catherine and Theo Hios Landscape Award will each receive a check for $250.00. Additionally, there are awards in the following categories: Best Representational Painting, Best Abstract Painting, Best Sculpture, Best Work on Paper, Best Mixed Media, Best Photograph and numerous Honorable Mention citations. While the Member’s Show will look a bit different this year, we expect it will two times the usual excitement and vitality. We look forward to seeing old friends, meeting new artists, and sharing a dynamic 69th Annual Member’s Exhibition with you all.

Fridays 5/4 – 25 The Enduring Image: A Poetry Writing Workshop with Carla Riccio 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm

Raymond Loewy’s successful portfolio—from the shapely Coca-Cola bottle to the bold Lucky Strike logo—is due to his ability to create objects and images that made indelible impressions on generations of consumers. Likewise, the success of a poem depends upon its ability to create a lasting impression in the mind of the reader. Using the objects in the exhibition as a point of departure, we will identify significant images embedded in our personal memories. Through workshop and discussion, we will focus on creating written images—in poems and prose poems—that convey to others the force and clarity of our experience. Workshop sessions will include writing prompts, model poems, individual feedback, and group discussion in a supportive atmosphere. No prior writing experience is necessary. Carla Riccio is a writer, teacher, and former book editor. She is the director of Hamptons Young Writers, an organization that mentors high school age writers. She teaches creative writing workshops to adults and young adults throughout the East End. Pre-registration is required. Class sizes are limited, so register early.

These wonderful places of discovery are designed to provide interactive experiences that foster curiosity in children and create a lifelong love of self-directed learning. Interactive exhibits will be both permanent and rotating. The permanent exhibit will focus on what makes the East End a special place, with an emphasis on the people and living creatures that inhabit it. Themes include agriculture, fishing, world celebrations, and community. In addition to the indoor activities, visitors will be encouraged to explore outdoor exhibits, mazes and gardens.

The second in the series of three South Fork Natural History Museum birding lectures given by prominent South Fork birders: Hunters of the Night: Owls. Lecturer: Jim Ash. In the second in the series of illustrated South Fork Natural History Museum birding lectures, Jim Ash will talk about owls. These birds of the night, often objects of mystery --- sometimes given magical powers are indeed unique. Some bob and weave their heads, some vocalize by whistling, screeching, purring, snorting, chittering, or hissing. With eyes that are more like tubes than eyeballs and ear openings placed asymmetrically, one higher than the other, owls are unlike any other living thing. Jim will talk about these and other fascinating owl attributes and will explain just how these characteristics make owls the exceptional creatures they are. There is no charge for members of the South Fork Natural History Museum. Nonmembers are charged $60 for the lecture series or $25 for each individual lecture which includes the wine and cheese reception. To sign up for membership call (631) 537-9735 or e-mail sofo@hamptons.com to receive a membership form.

Fri 5/11- Stratogeezer - 8:00 pm $10 (surf rock) Being land-locked hasn’t kept this high-energy trio from bringing raw, reverb-driven sounds to surf music junkies in the metro Atlanta area for over 4 years now. Influenced by masters such as The Ventures and Dick Dale, Strato-Geezer is guaranteed to take you from the beach, into outer space, and splashing back down into the waves like an out-of-control Soviet spacecraft.

Fri 5/11 The Creamsicles & Levellers 10:30 $15 (classic rock, funk, surf) The CreamSicles debut album The Perfect Girl was released in September 2006. Recorded at Monster Island Studios in New York City and engineered by Mike Caffrey (George Clinton, Chaka Khan, Soul Live, Omar Hakim, Hiram Bullock, 5 Grammy nominations) the album sounds as hot as the cover looks (Modeled by Cynthia Boucher, Indianapolis 500’s "Miller Light Girl".). One week after it’s release Jonathan Clarke of Q104.3 (the #1 Rock station in NY) played it on the new music show Out of the Box and the band was featured in AM NY, the most circulated daily newspaper in NY. They played several festivals this summer including the Guinness Festival in Riverside Park, Manhattan. Over a thousand people attended. The CreamSicles are clearly cracking through the New York concrete to the light at the end of the rock & roll tunnel. The CreamSicles influences range from Classic Rock and Funk to Surf and Gypsy Punk. Songwriter John Sully massages electric waves of feedback from his vibrolux amp and croons and screams at his Jazz Master guitar like it’s the woman who will break his heart. Craig Gottlieb claws his Rickenbacker Bass like he was Paul McCartney possessed by Sid Vicious. And Marcello Pantano jabs at his drums like a heavy weight fighter calculating the knockout punch. This band is TIGHT. Lush guitar chords are punctuated by syncopated bass lines and heart pounding drum grooves. The lyrics are about the freedom and loneliness of the road and the alienation of a stranger in a strange land

Milton spent the next two years playing club dates with his band and building a loyal following at New York’s Living Room, Boston’s Club Passim and several venues up and down the east coast. NYC super promoter Ron Delsener caught the Milton Band at The Living Room and invited them to open on sold-out bills at New York’s Irving Plaza. Milton eventually sold every copy of his debut CD.

Annie does what only the very best singers do, she gives those who come to listen something of herself. She does this openly, honestly and without artifice. There’s no holding back, she’s exciting to listen to and exciting to watch. The music comes at you like heat lightning. The electricity she generates snaps, crackles and the place rocks! Don’t miss this special Talkhouse appearance.

Wed 5/16 - Benefit for Jerry Downes 8:00 pm TBA

Thurs 5/17 - Haale – 9:00 pm $10 (60's rock, surfi music) HAALE (pronounced HA’-leh, like Hallelujah) was born in New York City, of Iraninan descent and grew up as many first generation kids do: with two cultures, two languages, two worlds to assimilate. “I grew up with Hendrix in one ear and Hayedeh [Persian singer] in the other,” Haale says. “I grew up hearing the musical traditions mixing, the languages mixing, sonically and even visually, it was all a big collage.” Haale's music emerges from this early sonic landscape, drawing both from 60's psychedelic rock and traditional Sufi music. Singing her own lyrics in English and Persian and those of Iranian poets such as Attar, Rumi, Forugh and Sepehri, Haale's collaged texts become an alinear dialogue across time. These soundscapes are woven through a trance-inducing tapestry of percussion, strings and shimmering electric guitars. Regarding performance, Haale says, "I like to get myself and my audience into a hypnotic state when I play....In Sufi tradition, music is a tool for ushering listeners into a transcendent state, for turning them on, awakening their souls, propelling them into an ecstatic state....I think great psychedelic rock does this and sometimes intends to as well....There's definitely a kinship in a level of energy and fire that's in these two musical genres and in where that can take the listener...That's what I am interested in."

Fri 5/18 - Jake Lear CD Release Party – 8:00 pm $10 (blues and rock singer-songwriter) Jake Lear is an electric guitarist, original song writer and singer, a blues & rock musician who recently returned from a whirlwind Southern tour which included playing the Emerging Artists Stage at the Arkansas Blues And Heritage Festival, formally the famous King Biscuit Blues Festival, in Helena, Arkansas. With his Fender Stratocasters and 1966 Fender Super Reverb amp in tow, he then took his unique solo act to blues clubs in Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Pennsylvania. Born in Vermont’s North East Kingdom and now based in the industrial upstate city of Binghamton, New York, Lear has a growing following extending across the East Coast. Playing guitar since he was twelve, he honed his talent performing in bands as a guitarist and side man, and is now a popular solo act heard regularly at Tribeca Rock Club, CBGB’s and Rockwood Music Hall in New York City, along with clubs in upstate New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Inspired by Elmore James, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy and Bob Dylan, Lear’s own style has a distinct sound that is fast and furious with unparallel energy and breath-taking heart and soul as he slams out, shuffles, stomps, instrumentals and original songs. “ Lear is a guitar god, influenced by everyone from Hendrix to Buddy Guy.” – L Magazine

Sat 5/19 Stand 8:00 pm $15 (Irish Rock) "A sonically dense record, it is a pitch perfect melange of tight hooks, engaging studio textures and infectious percussion" -IRISH VOICE / NOV 2006 Stand are four lads from Dublin, Ireland who got a taste of the United States on a trip in to play Austin¹s SXSW Festival. Awed at the prospect of limitless venues, they made the move and headquartered themselves out of New York in 2002. They built a solid following in the Northeast, being voted "Best Band on that NACA college circuit" in both 2005 and 2006. The band quickly set another foothold in New York on the western end of the state after being asked to perform twice at the Thursday in the Square Summer Concert Series in Buffalo, NY. Jeff Miers of the Buffalo News picked up on their stunning live performances and declared them ³a gimmickless band that generates feverish excitement, both on the concert stage and in the recording studio.

The band stayed put in Buffalo last spring and entered Chameleon West Studio to commence work on this, Travel Light, their fourth long player. Composer/guitarist and studio savvy David Walsh took the production helm, working with Michael McCoy, former head engineer at the legendary Hit Factory in NYC. The recordings that make up this album commenced in a springtime Buffalo blizzard and ended in the early summer sun of Lexington, Kentucky's St. Claire Recording Studio. A departure from the guitar based work of their 2004 work Transmissions, the band are feverishly proud of the songs recorded here and as always, are working them out on the road as the van barrels on down the highway. Developing their songs and moving records from the van of their NYC headquarter, these four very different guys, in the most magical way of the best band to do so before them, merge into one upon taking the stage.

Thurs. 5/31 -Mama Vig - 9:00 pm $10 (acoustic, jazzy) 9:00 pm -MamaVig - $10 (acoustic, jazzy) On a lark, acoustic guitar hero Frank Vignola and Jamie Masefield (JazzMandolin Project) got together to jam one afternoon this past August-- literally on a front porch-- and found that they had a lot to say, so to speak. Frank called Gary Mazzaroppi (a regular guest of Marian McPartland's public radio show "Piano Jazz", and touring bassist with Lionel Hampton Big Band, Les Paul, Stan Getz, Buddy Rich, and countless others...), and soon they had gigs and a recording (to be released soon). Sometimes it just happens like this. With an incredible array of influences, these three master players and improvisers have created an acoustic music that is as melodic and lyrical as it is jazzy and finger-picking good.

"Mandolinist Jamie Masefield churns out incessant chords like a guitarist. The unquestioned skilled musicianship. is easy to peg." ~Rolling Stone "Mr. Mazzaroppi has developed into a brilliantly virtuosic bass soloist."
