Fred Raimondo Headlining Annual Songwriters Share Concert In Support Of The Retreat

Songwriters Share, the concert series that gives back, will return to Unitarian Universalist Meetinghouse in Bridgehampton on Friday, April 5. The fourth concert of the season will be headlined by singer/songwriter/storyteller Fred Raimondo, who will be playing for The Retreat, the East End’s sole domestic violence agency.

“Fred is a talented musician who shares his gift with our community by playing music on April 5th to benefit abuse survivors and The Retreat,” Loretta Davis, The Retreat Executive Director, shared. “Fred and the wonderful musicians who will join him will provide the audience with an engaging and moving evening of music.”

Raimondo, who has been penning lyrics for well over 30 years, is currently working on his third solo album. “Very excited about this one! I will be debuting new material from my upcoming release Cinema, as well songs from 2017’s Little Flower and 2014’s Stories From The Dark Heart Tavern,” Raimondo shared. “I will be joined again this year by Sarah Greene on guitar, Paul Brokaw on keyboards and Jean Schroeder on percussion.”

The East End favorite has performed at many local iconic venues – such as the Stephen Talkhouse, 89 North and 230 Down, and has been highlighted at the Songwriters Share, The Homegrown Music Cafe, Underground Sound at 230 Down, Nancy Atlas’ Songwriters In The Round, Original Voices at The Vail, and Cynthia Daniel’s Crossroads.

“Fred’s warmth and wisdom spill over into his music as his thoughtful lyrics paint a picture of a life well lived,” Nancy Remkus, who founded the series, expressed. “This is a venue where you can linger and listen to every word-hearing the stories of what inspired each song and having a glimpse into the songwriting process.”

In 2014, he released Stories From The Dark Heart Tavern, which earned a spot on numerous top 10 lists, including No Depression, a leading site on Americana and Roots music. It was also selected by WPPB’s Bonnie Grice as one of the top 5 albums of 2014. The album was produced by Raimondo, Pete Kennedy and Caroline Doctorow, and the trio reunited for Raimondo’s second solo album, Little Flower, which premiered in 2017.

“If you have never attended a Songwriters Share Concert please do-it will become a venue that you will want to return to time and time again. Concertgoers come together monthly to support and be a part of this vibrant musical community-in a warm and inviting space with wonderful acoustics,” Remkus noted.

In addition to performing locally, the musician has also toured throughout the Northeast, playing at clubs and colleges, and his songs have been featured on national, local and international radio music programs.

“Do not miss this opportunity,” Davis stressed.

Raimondo is also a member of Damaged Goods, an acoustic trio that has shared the stage with Jorma Kaukonen, Taj Mahal, Rick Danko, Maria Muldar, Joe Ely, Suzanne Vega, Roger McGuinn, Donovan, Aztec Two Step and The Marshal Tucker Band, and the cosmic surf band The Woodworkers.

The Cosmic Pioneers, led by Leah Kay and Dave Grube, will open. “The Cosmic Pioneers is a wonderful acoustic Americana combo that is opening,” Raimondo explained. “This year all proceeds of this event go to The Retreat.”

Established in 1987, The Retreat provides a safe haven for families in crisis. The non-profit has assisted over 6,000 individuals since its founding. Services offered include a 24-hour bilingual hotline, counseling, legal advocacy, prevention education, and emergency shelter. In 2017 alone, The Retreat reached 5,702 students with prevention education and responded to 3,467 hotline calls.

“I personally look forward to the evening and know how fortunate we are to have Fred’s tremendous support. He is such an advocate for us!” Davis added.

General admission is $20 and $15 for seniors and students.

Additional Songwriters Share headliners will include Gene Casey (playing for Turtle Rescue of the Hamptons) on May 3, and Nancy Remkus/Dan Koontz (playing for the Sag Harbor Community Food Pantry) on June 7.

“The Retreat is a vital part of our community-supporting many families in need of shelter and hope,” Remkus concluded. “As we come together to help these charities we build our own legacy of a society that looks out and cares for the needs of others.”

The concert begin at 7:30 p.m. and a complimentary reception will follow.

Unitarian Universalist Meetinghouse is located at 977 Sag Harbor/Bridgehampton Turnpike in Bridgehampton. For more information about The Retreat, visit www.theretreatinc.org.

  • The place is the old Astro’s, and it looks pretty much the same except all the seating is now by the windows, and there are no tables. You can go in for slices, and overall, it’s a pretty typical pizza joint with a more retro vibe. But what’s great about this pizza is that it is thin and has a crispness to it that you don’t get anywhere else in the Hamptons. This means that even if you devour half a pie, you don’t walk away feeling bloated and like death is imminent, but you just feel really full from good pizza.

Everything is fresh, and the overall vibe is trendy. You have to go. I gave it an 8.4. #pizza  #pizzatime  #pizzalover  #hamptons  #finipizza
  • Special Screening of Love…Reconsidered, A Hamptons-Based Romantic Comedy

The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will be hosting a premiere of the film Love…Reconsidered on Saturday, September 30th at 7:00 p.m. in the Mollie Parnis Auditorium. This is the charming romantic comedy starring Sophie von Haselberg, Judy Gold, Marisa Ryan, Elaine Bromka, Luke Gulbranson, and Colton Haynes, set between New York City and Southampton.

Love…Reconsidered is based on Arielle Haller-Silverstone’s true love/life story, and she wrote the screenplay after losing her job during the pandemic where she then moved to the Hamptons. Haller-Silverstone is the co-owner of Le Closet, a curated consignment store, with locations in Southampton and New York City, and she can’t wait to premiere this film at WHBPAC and connect with viewers.

The screening will also include a panel discussion with the filmmakers moderated by Kate Schumacher and Carinn Jade of the well-known podcast Pop Fiction Women. They will dive into the film’s characters and the complicated lives they lead, along with the filmmaking process that brought this movie to life on the screen. Arielle Haller-Silverstone spoke more about her inspiration for the screenplay, her background, and what she is most looking forward to for the screening.

Congratulations on your film Love…Reconsidered. Can you talk about the story behind this film and where your inspiration came from to write the screenplay? 

Arielle Haller-Silverstone: I lost my job during COVID and started Le Closet from my studio apartment in Hell’s Kitchen. On a total whim, my dad knew a broker that knew a broker in Southampton, and I decided to give it a shot. I schlepped all of the clothes from NYC and opened on Windmill Lane (where the store still is today!). I knew there was a script within this story and had to make a movie. @whbpac

  • Sara Hartman Talks Musical Beginnings, Berlin, and New Album ‘Start Somewhere Dark’

With the excitement surrounding the return of the Sag Harbor Music Festival this year, one artist stood out in the lineup: Sara Hartman. She’s not your typical local artist. She is a SHMF veteran, performing at the very first one when she was just 15 years old. She grew up in Sag Harbor and attended Pierson High School. She took lessons at the famous Harbor Music Studio in Sag Harbor, and in 2015, she signed a record deal with a major label, moved to Germany, and toured the world opening for acts like Ellie Goulding, Clueso, Kelvin Jones, and many more. Her song “Monster Lead Me Home” off her Satellite EP has over 34 million Spotify streams. The US premiere of her new album “Start Somewhere Dark” will take place at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor on Saturday, September 30th. It seems things are coming full circle for Sara.

She spoke to Hamptons.com about her musical beginnings, Berlin, and new album ‘Start Somewhere Dark.’

Take us back to the beginning of your musical journey. How did it all start?

I grew up in Sag Harbor and took lessons with Paul Chapin at Harbor Music. It was a little lesson space near Sag Town Coffee way back in the day. I got a drum set for Christmas and really fell in love with it. I’m sure my neighbors were not as in love with the instrument as I was haha. I was really grateful to be working with Chapin as a teacher. He taught me a bit of piano, bass, guitar, and ukelele as well. That led to me writing songs in my bedroom as a way of dealing with a bit of a chaotic home life. It was therapy for me to be able to express myself through songs. I was adopted by the East End music scene after playing a show at Crossroads Music in Amagansett and soaked up all that I could learn. I was really supported by my family and my teachers at Pierson. Without all this, I wouldn’t be where I am today. @sarahartmanmusic

  • Behind the Bar: Dopo Argento in Southampton

Okay, let’s set the scene: we’re walking down Main Street, Southampton, black mini shoulder bags hanging between us. We’ve just finished dinner a few doors down, arms linked and chatting about that mini Dachshund we saw enjoying an evening stroll with its owner. What’s the next stop? You ask. A little night cap? I suggest. Could it be a warm July night, a moody October weekend– doesn’t matter because you know this bar is just as delicious in the summer months as it is on a biting winter night. @dopoargentosouthampton
