It Will Be a Summer of Music at Canoe Place Inn

This summer, a series of concerts in the Grand Ballroom at Canoe Place Inn will join the legendary names of the past for a summer of music, conversation and laughter in Hampton Bays.

“We are thrilled to have such an extraordinary lineup,” says Matthew Kristan, general manager of Canoe Place. “This series perfectly reflects our centuries-long commitment to offering unmatched experiences for our guests. Last summer, Jeff Goldblum and comedian Mark Normand selling out told us the Hamptons wanted even more, and with the help of NYC’s Murmrr Presents this is going to be a really special summer.”

The summer series kicks off June 8, with the Gipsy Kings. Then continues throughout June, July and August with Aimee Mann, Steel Pulse, Graham Nash, Trevor Hall, Buena Vista Social Orchestra, Guster and The Mountain Goats, Rufus Wainwright and returning comic Normand. Murmrr Founder Brian Kelly is based in Brooklyn, but brought acts like John Mulaney and Laufey to Montauk Point Lighthouse last summer for charitable events.

“We set out to create something truly special for Canoe Place this summer,” he said. “There’s an intimacy to all the spaces here. So we can provide an experience that’s unique and stays with you,” he added.

Kelly also says contemporary performers love Canoe Place, which in decades past, has seen Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Led Zeppelin, Billy Joel and Lucille Ball all drop in.

“Canoe Place Inn is unlike any other venue. Rich in history but with state of the art sound and lighting, artists like performing here,” he said. “It’s a one-of-a-kind space. We are making this the hub of entertainment on the East End.”

In 2024, Murmrr Presents brought that rich history back to life at Canoe Place with Jeff Goldblum and his jazz band Dark Star Orchestra which transported audiences to another realm. Grace Potter also electrified the crowd, Stella Cole wove timeless magic and Mark Normand shook the rafters with laughter.
