Arts & Theatre

  • For Mary Gauthier, songwriting goes way beyond conveying her thoughts and emotions. It was also a lifeline when she embraced sobriety back in 1990. Songwriting’s appeal was important enough for Gauthier to swap being an acclaimed chef at a wildly successful Cajun restaurant in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood to head to Nashville in her mid-thirties to pursue a dream of becoming a professional musician. Fast forward to the present day, and the 63-year-old singer-songwriter is touring with partner Jaimee Harris and not only celebrating the 25-year-plus anniversary of Gauthier’s 1999 sophomore bow, Drag Queens in Limousines, but also giving love to her most recent studio effort, 2022’s Dark Enough to See the Stars. Her love of compositional craft will be on full display when she and Harris roll into Bayport on September 26. Mary Gauthier and Art of The Song at People’s Pub in Bayport

  • Everybody loves a feel-good success story about a local business. Along the Great South Bay of Long Island, that reigns even more true. Toasted Oysters, a local oyster farm operating from Islip, has been selected to showcase their authentic Blue Point oysters, which are grown right here on the South Shore of Long Island, at the 2025 Ryder Cup. The star-studded, highly anticipated golf match will be held at the Bethpage Black Golf Course in Farmingdale from September 23 to 28.
