Emily Weitz, an author and singer-songwriter, is the next guest in the Artists and Writers series at Almond restaurant in Bridgehampton on Monday at 6 p.m.
Weitz, who lives in Sag Harbor, has published articles in The New York Times and Vice magazine, personal essays in Longreads and Nourish magazine, and is a regular contributor to The Sag Harbor Express. In recent years she also took up songwriting.
