Graham Nash tickets are all gone \u2014 sorry. But Rufus Wainwright says it feels like coming home. And Mark Normand bragged to his Instagram followers he had so much \u201cfun\u201d he couldn\u2019t wait to come back. Where? Canoe Place Inn and Cottages in Hampton Bays. General Manager Matthew Kristan is happy but not surprised that a venue famous for the arts is drawing this kind of crowd. \u201cThere really is something for everyone from comedy to classic rock and reggae,\u201d he said. \u201cThe feedback was so positive right after we announced the summer series,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s an understatement. They\u2019ve added new shows and continue to do so. It\u2019s thanks in part to a ballroom steeped in history, newly fitted with state-of-the-art lighting and equipment. \u201cArtists are excited to play in a room where the acoustics are great,\u201d said Brian Kelly. His New York City-based Murmrr Presents books the acts. He\u2019s also brought other big names out for charitable events like the benefit for the Montauk Point Lighthouse. \u201cThe ballroom has been professionally \u2018tuned\u2019 and it sounds amazing. It\u2019s a \u2018Lamborghini off the lot\u2019 in terms of sound systems. There\u2019s no other place out here that has anything like it.\u201d<\/p>\n
