The Grammy Award-winning composer and multi-instrumentalist Laufey will perform at the Montauk Lighthouse on Saturday at 7 p.m. in a concert to benefit the Montauk Historical Society.

The Icelandic-Chinese artist has a style that spans several genres from jazz to classical to pop. Performing in addition to Laufey will be the Los Angeles singer-songwriter Grace Enger. In 2023, Ms. Enger was named to the Vevo’s DSCVR group of emerging artists to watch.

A pre-party will begin at 5. Tickets are offered at several tiers, with the silver tier already sold out. As of earlier this week, gold and platinum-tier tickets were still available at $160 and $350 respectively. Platinum tickets include premium seating, a lounge chair, and a V.I.P. bar. Tickets can be bought at murmrr.com on the “shows” tab.

Looking ahead to next weekend, in another benefit for the historical society also in partnership with Murmrr, John Mulaney, a three-time Emmy-winning writer, actor, and comedian, will perform a standup comedy set at the Lighthouse. The Aug. 10 show will begin at 7 p.m. with a pre-party at 5. Lower priced tickets are already sold out, but there are gold and platinum-tier tickets for $325 or $550.
