Return of the Talkhouse Live

Wed, 07/29/2020 - 18:50

Live music returns to the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett Thursday night at 7:30 with G.E. Smith on guitar accompanying Joseph Arthur, a singer and songwriter. Admission is $60. Performances continue tomorrow with the Nancy Atlas Project and on Saturday with Hello Brooklyn.

Though the venue is legally permitted to have patrons inside, the Talkhouse has opted not to do so. Performers will be on the stage inside and the audience will be seated outside on the patio, where they can hear the show and see it on video screens.

Reservations for tables of four to eight people are required and must be prepaid. Tickets can be bought at stephentalkhouse.com. The venue opens at 6 p.m. Social distancing protocols will be strictly enforced, and a face covering must be worn at all times unless the person is seated. Food must be ordered with any drinks.
