4) Come to Guild Hall on Saturday, August 15, and spend an evening with Grammy Award winner Rosanne Cash in concert! She's recorded 14(!) albums over the last 25 years, and has charted 11(!) number-one singles. This will be a special acoustic set, which we're sure will go perfectly in the intimate John Drew Theater. Show starts at 8 p.m., and tickets range from $65-85. And if you haven't been in a while, check out the renovations of Guild Hall on Plum TV:

5) Check out yet another Grammy Award winner on Sunday, August 16, when Steve Tyrell performs at the Westhampton Beach PAC. This celebrated Renaissance man has worked as a producer, arranger, and songwriter for such legendary artists as Burt Bacharach and Rod Stewart. For this performance, he'll be using his classic (and suave) approach to reinvent some classic pop standards. Don't miss it!
