Sunset Concerts: India Eaton

Inda Eaton's warm humor, free-spirited emotionality, and literate flair make her songs feel as comfy as a favorite pair of jeans. Inda’s vocals have a whiskey and honey-tinged raspy quality that’s both stirring and soothing. Her stories and musings feel instantly resonate. Inda’s songwriting spans fist-pumping anthemics and bucolic balladeering, and it embraces a wide swath of influences, including country, classic rock, folk, and pop. In a career that spans 8 albums in 20 years, and a blur of endless tours, for her latest album, Shelter In Place, Inda opted for once to stay put. The 11-song record was literally tracked in the Springs, New York-based artist’s backyard. In the stillness of the album writing process, she sifted through her scrapbook of travels and created a Huck Finn-spirited collection of story-rich heartland rock songs brimming with adventure, and personal reflection.

Like a country-fried triple-shot of rock & roll, The Haymakers combine some of music’s most undeniable elements and vintage vibes to capture the spark of America’s greatest artists and music.

Vintage, retro, classic rave – all words you could use to describe their style of music.  But while they draw their inspiration from the sounds of the past, they combine it with a contemporary style to deliver something familiar yet fresh. 

Vintage guitars drenched in reverb, thundering upright bass and tight drumming combined with shimmering vocal harmonies create The Haymakers sound.

Get ready to rock and roll!

Sunset Concerts: GENE CASEY & THE LONE SHARKS

  • Jeanne Garant Harborfront Park, Jill Russell Stage (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

In the latter part of the last century, GENE CASEY departed New York City and its Punk rock/New wave scene for Long Island’s East End. There, he formed the Lone Sharks, “the house band of the Hamptons,” where bars were plentiful and audiences – both the local and the celebrated – were robust and loyal. Over the course of the next few decades Gene and the evolving line-up of Sharks “played – and tore up – every roadhouse, bar, and honky tonk from Manhattan to Montauk” (Bop Magazine), sharing the bill and backing legendary roots rock & roll acts as Wanda Jackson, the Band, Bo Diddley, Sleepy LaBeef, NRBQ, and the Ventures.

Gene’s original music met with great acclaim with local and international indie radio play. Several of his roots-drenched songs have been used in “A Prairie Home Companion” and on the soundtracks to television and feature films, including “Justified” and “Sons of Anarchy” ; the 2012 thriller “The Tall Man” starring Jessica Biel, the 2013 release “The Killing Season” starring Robert DeNiro, and Rob Reiner’s “Being Charlie.”

In 2014 Gene and the Lone Sharks were inducted into the Dan’s Papers “Best of the Best” Hall of Fame, having been honored over 20 times. A year later Gene, “the premier barroom troubadour of Eastern Long Island” (author Josh Alan Friedman) received the Long Island Sound Award by the L.I. Music Hall of Fame, “for contributions to the Island’s musical landscape.”

Sunset Concerts: Gail Storm

  • Jeanne Garant Harborfront Park, Jill Russell Stage (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Gail Storm is a New York based singer/songwriter/pianist.  Her blues stylings embrace the root music she cherishes and provide a refreshing frame to other genres. Gail draws her musical influences from traditionally based performers and modern-day artists as well.  Storm borrows from classic jazz, traditional blues, and R&B; Fats Waller, Louis Jordan, Dinah Washington, Anita O'Day, Bonnie Raitt, and Amy Winehouse are just some of the many artists Storm admires.  Many of her fans compare her to a combination of modern-day performers Diana Krall and Marcia Ball, with shades of Amy Winehouse. The "Storm" is known to have a “heavy left hand” as demonstrated by her strong, rhythmic bass lines-particularly evident in the “boogie woogie”. Repertoire ranges from traditional blues and boogie woogie to swingin' classic jazz standards, ballads, pop, and originals thrown into the mix. It is the blues stylings that provide the frame for Storm's renditions.
