Music and Comedy at Clubhouse
Gene Casey and the Lone Sharks, one of the East End's favorite house bands, will play weekly all-ages shows on the Clubhouse lawn starting next Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m. The spot is opposite the East Hampton Airport, off Daniel's Hole Road.

Also on Thursdays throughout the summer, Paul Virzi will host a comedy night inside at the Clubhouse. Mr. Virzi is the host of the weekly podcast, "The Virzi Effect," on the All Things Comedy network and also has a weekly YouTube series, "Dude, I Called It." Next week he'll be joined by Mick Thomas and Chris Roach. Doors open at 7, and the show begins at 7:30. Tickets cost $80, which includes a $30 food and beverage credit.

Unknowns at Talkhouse
It's been more than a decade since Michael Weiskopf and Randolph Hudson III formed the Complete Unknowns, a band that performs the music of Bob Dylan, and since then the Unknowns have played many venerable concert stages including the B.B. King Blues Club and Grill in New York's Times Square and Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor. To mark his 80th birthday, which is on Monday, the Complete Unknowns will honor Mr. Dylan at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett on Saturday and Sunday. 

The Saturday show is sold out, but there were still $25 back-deck tickets as of Monday for the Sunday show, which begins at 7. Shows at the Talkhouse have been selling out early, so music fans are advised to check the website early if they want to snag a ticket.

Other Venues
Alberto Bengolea will perform tomorrow from 6 to 9 p.m. at Baron's Cove in Sag Harbor. On Saturday, same time, it's Marcello Pimenta. There is no cover. 

On Shelter Island, the vocalist Vanessa Trouble will perform with Steve Salerno on guitar and Peter Martin Weiss on bass on Sunday from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Ram's Head Inn. There is no cover.

New Jams

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
