It's all about music at LTV Studios, with three East End Underground Live concerts set for the coming week. Simon Kirke, a founding member of the rock groups Free and Bad Company, is teaming up with Joe Delia, a Montauk singer-songwriter, piano player, and film composer, on Friday at 8 p.m. at the Wainscott venue.
Mr. Kirke, a vocalist and drummer who divides his time between Manhattan and Montauk, co-wrote the hit song "Bad Company," which won an ASCAP award, with Paul Rogers, another founder of the band of the same name. The only member who remained throughout the band's entire run, Mr. Kirke has also released three solo albums.
Mr. Delia has worked with Pat Benatar, Dusty Springfield, Phoebe Snow, Bruce Springsteen, and Keith Richards, among others, and for six years he was musical director for David Johansen's Buster Poindexter show. In addition, he has composed the scores for most of Abel Ferrara's films, including "King of New York" and "Bad Lieutenant."
Joining Mr. Kirke and Mr. Delia will be Klyph Black on guitar, Lawrence Feldman on saxophone, Greg McMullen on pedal steel guitar, Doug Broder on bass, and Anthony Genovesi on percussion.
Tickets are $40 in advance, $45 at the door, and $65 for table seating.
In association with Art of Song, Joanna Feuer, a vocalist, will premiere "From Brooklyn to Barn," a show she developed with Jane Hastay, a pianist and the music director at East Hampton's First Presbyterian Church, on Sunday at 5:30 p.m.
Through jazz songs and stories, the cabaret program tells the story of Ms. Feuer's search for fulfillment, love, and eventually for the animals that complete her dream farm in upstate New York. In addition to jazz standards, the show includes original music by Ms. Hastay.
While her vocal background includes jazz, bluegrass, and classical styles, Ms. Feuer began to focus exclusively on jazz in a solo show in Bridgehampton in 2010. She can now be found collaborating with other jazz musicians in restaurants, clubs, and private concerts upstate.
In addition to Ms. Hastay on piano, the performance will include Peter Martin Weiss on bass and Jon Mele on drums. Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door, and $65 for table seating.
The third East End Underground show, presented with Hamptons Jazz Fest, will feature Helen Sung, a pianist and composer, on Monday at 6 p.m. With nine albums to her credit, Ms. Sung has worked with Clark Terry, Wayne Shorter, Wynton Marsalis, Regina Carter, and the Mingus Big Band, among others.
A Steinway Artist and Guggenheim fellow, she teaches at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and Columbia University. "Her musical mind and her fingers are so mind-bogglingly fast, she has the capacity to pack superhuman amounts of energy and variety into just a few seconds of music," said a UK Jazz News review.
Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door.
Another jam-packed week will conclude when Blythe Danner, an actor who needs no introduction, will be at LTV to host a screening of the Asbury Shorts USA film festival next Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Asbury Shorts is New York City's longest-running short-film exhibition and touring show. The two-hour program will include comedy, drama, and animation.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door.
