Texas-born, Louisiana-raised pianist, songwriter and vocalist Marcia Ball will perform at The Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett on Friday, August 20, at 6 p.m.
Ball has won worldwide fame and countless fans for her ability to ignite a full-scale roadhouse rhythm and blues party every time she takes the stage. Ball’s romping Texas boogies, swampy New Orleans ballads and groove-laden Gulf Coast blues have made her a one-of-a-kind favorite with music lovers all over the world.
Her latest album, “Shine Bright,” produced by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, is full of everything music fans love about Marcia — rollicking two-fisted piano, soulful vocals, a top-shelf band of Texas and Louisiana musicians, and Marcia’s magnificent songwriting. Recently, she won the 2021 Living Blues Readers’ Award for Most Outstanding Musician (Keyboards). In 2018 Ball was named the Official 2018 Texas State Musician and inducted into the Austin City Limits Hall Of Fame.
Tickets for the show are $40 to $60 at stephentalkhouse.com. The Stephen Talkhouse is at 161 Main Street, Amagansett. For more details, call 631-267-3117.
