Rock at Bay Street
Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor will present “A Night to Rock” with G.E. Smith, a guitar master and former “Saturday Night Live” bandleader, and David Broza, an acclaimed Israeli singer-songwriter, tomorrow at 8 p.m.
Mr. Smith, who lives in Amagansett, was the lead guitarist for Hall and Oates from 1979 to 1985 and for Bob Dylan’s touring band from 1988 to 1990. The roster of musicians who performed with the band on “Saturday Night Live” during his tenure includes Eddie Van Halen, Keith Richards, Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Edmunds, Johnny Winter, and many more.
He has released solo albums, established a record label, Green Mirror Music, with his wife, Taylor Barton, who is also a musician, and served as music director for countless concerts, including Bob Dylan’s 30th anniversary concert at Madison Square Garden.
Mr. Broza was born in Israel, where he lives today, and educated in England and Spain. His music is a fusion of those different cultures, ranging from flamenco-flavored rhythmic and percussion techniques to whirlwind finger-picking to rock ’n’ roll.
Mr. Broza performs internationally and has released 20 CDs. His most recent, “East Jerusalem-West Jerusalem,” was made in the Palestinian studio Sabreen, in East Jerusalem, with Palestinian, Israeli, and American musicians.
Tickets for the concert are $40 and can be purchased at baystreet.org.
