Reggae and Jazz on the Lawn in Southampton
At the Southampton Arts Center
Winston Irie and the Selective Security Band will bring reggae to the Southampton Arts Center with a free show on the west lawn on Saturday at 7 p.m.
Growing up in Guyana, Mr. Irie was inspired by artists such as Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Gladys Knight, Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals, and Bob Marley. He first came to the Hamptons in 1993 and has performed with Lenny Kravitz, Martha Reeves, A Tribe Called Quest, and Richie Havens, among others.
Jazz on the Steps, another outdoor music series, will launch on the center’s front steps on Sunday afternoon at 2 with a free performance by Santi Debriano on bass and Bill O’Connell on piano. The programs are designed to showcase the diversity of jazz for people of all ages.
