Rockin’ and Swingin’ Down at Old Guild Hall
A busy week kicks off at Guild Hall tomorrow with performances by Reserved for Rondee and 2/3 Goat. Both groups incorporate elements of classic rock in their music: the former blending it with contemporary rock to create an indie rock sound, and the latter fusing it with bluegrass and alternative country. An indie-folk group, Pandafan, will open the show at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 for the show or $70 for the show and a VIP reception afterward, with a $2 discount for members.
The concert will be followed by a selfies workshop on Sunday from 4 to 6 pm. Taught by Phillipe Cheng, a Bridgehampton professional photographer and author, it will cover how to improve self-portrayals for social media. The cost is $40, $38 for members.
That evening at 8 p.m., Billy Collins, a former United States poet laureate and New York State poet laureate, will read some of his work, discuss writing and the life of a writer, and field audience questions. Know for his surprisingly serious yet witty and conversational style, Mr. Collins has been recognized as one of the most popular American poets. Tickets start at $25, $23 for members.
Next up on Tuesday at 8 p.m., the Cole Rumbough and Molly Ryan will be led by the musical director Matt Baker in “Swingin’ in the Hamptons.” Admission to the show ranges from $22 to $45, with $2 off for members. The musical events don’t stop there, though. Next Thursday, “The Last Waltz,” a documentary by Martin Scorcese, will be shown at 8 p.m. The film includes interviews with and accounts of the iconic rock group the Band and presents its final concert in 1976, with musical appearances by Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and other well known artists of the time. Tickets cost $12, $10 for members.
