The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill will conclude its summer series of music on the terrace with “Bluegrass and BBQ,” tomorrow at 6 p.m., with the return of the Edith and Bennett Band and barbecue and specialty drinks from the Golden Pear Cafe.

Edith Gawler and Bennett Konesni are musicians and scholars who play old-time fiddle, banjo music, Swedish dance tunes, and farmers ballads and hollers. Ms. Gawler grew up in Maine as a member of the Gawler Family Band, and Mr. Konesni, in addition to his career as a musician, is the founder of the Educational Farm at Sylvester Manor on Shelter Island, on land that has been in his family since 1652.

Tickets are $12, free for members and students. The museum has suggested that visitors take chairs and blankets, as table seating is reserved for Golden Pear patrons.
