Folk, Jazz, and Politics

Miss Rosie, an Americana-folk group from Oberlin, Ohio, will bring both old-time tunes and original songs to the lawn of the Southampton Arts Center for a free concert Saturday at 7 p.m. 

The band, which consists of Sam Bailey, banjo/vocals, Meghan Mette, fiddle, Noah Singer, guitar, Will Bahr, drums, and James Vitz-Wong, upright bass, combines a variety of influences to create a unique musical palette within the folk tradition.

The center’s weekly Jazz on the Steps series will present two seasoned jazz musicians, Mark Marino on guitar and Peter Weiss on bass, on Sunday at noon, on the front steps of the building. Mr. Marino, who lives in Massapequa and teaches guitar studies at Long Island University’s C.W. Post campus, has been playing jazz professionally for almost 40 years. Mr. Weiss, who lives in East Hampton, established himself on the New York jazz scene. With his wife, Jane Hastay, he hosts the Art of Song’s Parlor Jazz Series at the Bridgehampton Historical Museum.

In conjunction with its exhibition “Winning the White House: From Press Prints to Selfies,” the center will screen “Electoral Dysfunction,” a documentary about voting in America, next Thursday at 7 p.m. in the concert hall. A discussion with the filmmakers will follow. Tickets, which can be purchased on the center’s website, are $12.
