Classic Soul
The HooDoo Loungers and their guests the Belle Curves will bring "An Evening of Classic Soul" to Sag Harbor's Bay Street Theater on Saturday at 8 p.m.
While the Loungers bill themselves as a New Orleans party band, they are no strangers to soul, having sold out their "Queen of Soul: Tribute to Aretha Franklin" as part of the Sag Harbor American Music Festival. For Saturday's show, the band will take a deep dive into the roots of 1960s and '70s classic soul.
The Loungers are Joe Lauro, bass/vocals, Dawnette Darden, vocals, Dan Koontz, keyboards/vocals, Doug Dean, drums, Eric Kay, tenor sax/clarinet, Eric Miller, trombone, and Peter Aricchio, trumpet.
Led by Delaney Hafener, the Belle Curves are a rotating cast of musicians whose sound is inspired by the traditions of Americana.
Tickets are $37; $47 the day of the show.
At the Talkhouse
The weekend at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett starts Friday night at 8 with a performance by Brad Penuel and his Friday Night Traditional. Accompanied by musician friends, Mr. Penuel performs songs that draw on his Alabama roots. Tickets are $30.
The Nancy Atlas Project, the East End band that has opened for everyone from Elvis Costello to Lucinda Williams to Jimmy Buffet, will take the Talkhouse stage on Saturday at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $35.
Conga Cartel, a seven-piece band that blends the complex rhythms and Latin influences of South America with a fusion of funk and dance music, will perform at the Talkhouse on Saturday night at 10. Tickets are $10.
Art and Music at the Temple
An exhibition of artwork by Edward Cortes, a self-taught artist, will be on view at the Sag Harbor Masonic Club during Saturday evening's 8 p.m. performance by the Roses Grove Band, a Grateful Dead tribute band. The lodge will be open at 7 and by appointment for those wishing to view the exhibit.
"World of Music, Part 2," this week's Tuesday night Jam Session program at the Masonic Club, will happen there from 7 to 9. The lineup features Bobby Franceschini on saxophone, Bill O'Connell on piano, Santi Debriano on bass, and Claes Brondal on drums.

Sense and Stompers
Riverhead's Suffolk Theater will rock with the music of Talking Heads, David Byrne, and more, on Friday at 8 p.m., thanks to Start Making Sense and the Ocean Avenue Stompers.
Start Making Sense is a seven to 10 piece band, fronted by Jon Braun, that pays tribute to the music of Talking Heads' entire career and David Byrne's solo material. The Ocean Avenue Stompers are a New Orleans-influenced brass band partial to the sounds of Jersey Shore rock and Philadelphia soul.
