A.I. Fable and Blues
Joe Delia, a singer, musician, composer, and storyteller, will be at the Montauk Library on Sunday at 3 p.m. to talk about his life as a musician, play music, and show clips from recent and upcoming films. His songs will be performed by Lina Maxine. Delia, a Montauk resident, is the lead vocalist and keyboardist of Joe Delia and Friends, a blues rock band, and often appears with the Nancy Atlas Band. He has scored many films for Abel Ferrara, among them “Ms. 45,” “Bad Lieutenant,” and “King of New York.”
The library will host a free directed reading of “2.0: The Final Reboot — A Terrifyingly Comic and Seductive A.I. Fable,” a play by Sal Trapani, on Wednesday at 6 p.m. The library calls it “a comic and prescient response to our growing dependence on A.I. technology,” suggesting it calls to mind Eugene Ionesco’s “Rhinoceros,” an allegory about the rise of fascism in pre-World War II Europe. Newly retired as professor of theater arts at Western Connecticut State University, Trapani has directed some 40 productions there.
Eagles Tribute
Winslow’s “An Evening of the Eagles” will bring the music of the Eagles to Bay Street Theater on Saturday at 8 p.m. The audience can expect to hear such hits as “Hotel California,” “Take It Easy,” and “Desperado,” as well as deep cuts and solo works by Don Henley and Joe Walsh.
According to Winslow’s website, the band will capture “the soaring five-part harmonies, precise instrumentation, and stage showmanship” that have defined the Eagles for more than 50 years. Tickets are $44 to $56. The lobby bar will open an hour before showtime.

Psychedelic Jazz
Mind Open, a vibraphone-led instrumental ensemble from Long Island, is up next in the music series at Sag Harbor’s Masonic Temple Friday at 8 p.m. The venue promises “a lush, kitschy dreamscape of jazz, exotica, lounge, and psychedelia.” Tickets are $25; doors will open at 7:30.
Seeding Ecosystems
A busy weekend for the Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons will begin on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., rain or shine, with its annual yard sale on the grounds of the Bridgehampton Community House, offering used items such as tools, plant shelves, garden ornaments, pots, containers, and garden books, as well as plant material.
Eve Beaury, a research scientist in the Center for Conservation and Restoration Ecology at the New York Botanical Garden, will be at the community house on Sunday afternoon at 2 to discuss “Seeding Ecosystems of the Future,” focusing in part on how to reduce the spread of invasives and support climate-resilient native plants. Tickets are $10, free for alliance members.
North Fork TV Fest
The 11th annual North Fork TV Festival will return to Greenport on Wednesday for two days of screenings, talks, industry panels, and special events. This year’s guests will include Kelsey Grammer (“Cheers,” “Frasier”), Melissa Navia (“Billions,” “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”), and Kelly AuCoin (“The Post,” “The Holdovers”).
The festival “celebrates the evolution of television, both mainstream and independent, bringing together the minds of actors, executives, writers, and directors,” according to its website, where the full schedule and other details can be found.
