Bay Street Theater & Sag Harbor Center for the Arts is pleased to continue rekindling the popular "Fireside Sessions with Nancy Atlas and a special guest" this January. After sold out concerts in January and March this past year, the 2016 January concerts will again feature a special guest for each show every Saturday of the month. All concerts start at 8 pm. Tickets are $25 and available online at www.baystreet.org or by calling the Bay Street Theater Box Office at 631-725-9500, open Tuesday through Saturday 11 am to 5 pm. The concerts are sponsored by Dan's Papers.

Nancy Atlas and her band of Journeymen have been dominating the East End Music scene on Long Island for many years. Known for her raw, live performances and stellar songwriting Nancy and her band, The Nancy Atlas Project, have opened for almost everyone under the sun. To name a few: Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, Toots and the Maytals, Jimmy Buffett, Crosby, Stills and Nash... the list goes on and on. The reason is simple. When people want a solid act to open their show and get the crowd warmed up, they call Nancy and her boys because they know they will deliver. Every time.

The January guests include:

Jan 2 - Randi Fishenfeld (Epic Violin)

Jan 9 - Shawn Pelton (Epic Drummer)

Jan 16 - Clark Gayton (Epic Trombone)

Jan 23 - Andy Aledort & Friends (Epic Guitar Night)

Jan 30 - Danny Kean (Epic Keyboard)

"We wanted to offer this popular series again this year," says Gary Hygom, Producer at Bay Street Theater. "People just love coming out each weekend and rockin' out with Nancy and her guests and her concerts sold out last winter just about every night."

Nancy grew up with gypsy blood in Commack, NY. She spent her entire college years abroad at both Cambridge University in England and Richmond College in London and Florence. There was a serious recession going on the year she graduated college so instead of becoming an advertising executive she walked down to Portabello Road, London, bought a guitar for 60 quid and never looked back.

Nancy now lives in Montauk, New York with her husband Thomas and her two sons Cash and Levon and her daughter Tallulah. When she is not writing a song or on stage rocking out, she can be found spending time with her family enjoying the outdoors.

Tickets are $25 and are available online at www.baystreet.org or by calling the Bay Street Theater Box Office at 631-725-9500, open Tuesday through Saturday 11 am to 5 pm.
