Ten incredible concerts in the iconic 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 line-up,” says Matthew Kristan, Canoe Place General Manager. “This series perfectly reflects our centuries-long commitment to offering unmatched experiences for our guests,” he added. “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 8th 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 the Hamptons 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 the ‘place’ that’s 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. It’s a one-of-a-kind space.” That reference to equipment includes a new for 2025 lighting and sound system. “We are making this the hub of entertainment on the east end,” Kristan says.
In 2024, Murmrr Presents brought that rich history back to life in spectacular fashion. Jeff Goldblum’s jazz band swung into the night, Dark Star Orchestra transported audiences to another realm, Grace Potter electrified the crowd, Stella Cole wove timeless magic, and Mark Normand made the rafters shake with laughter. It now appears that was just the beginning.
Here are the highlights. Dates are subject to change and new acts may be added.
