Hamptons Summer Songbook By The Sea, the live concert series bringing leading Broadway, cabaret and American Songbook performers to the East End, continues its third season with Ann Hampton Callaway performing “Here’s To Life” on Saturday, July 11th, 2026 at 7:30 pm at LTV Studios in Wainscott.

Callaway, one of America’s most celebrated pop, jazz and cabaret performers, is known for her Tony-nominated performance in the Broadway musical “Swing!” and for writing and singing the theme song to the hit television series “The Nanny.” A singer, pianist, composer, lyricist and arranger, Callaway has built a career at the crossroads of Broadway, jazz, television and the great American Songbook, bringing warmth, wit and vocal elegance to stages around the world. Her songs have been recorded by Barbra Streisand, and she has collaborated with artists including Carole King and others across the worlds of pop, theater and cabaret.  

The July 11th performance, titled “Here’s To Life,” will offer East End audiences an intimate evening with Callaway in the industrial-chic, black-box setting of LTV Studios. The evening continues the spirit of Hamptons Summer Songbook By The Sea, which pairs world-class performers with café-style seating, superb acoustics and the immediacy of a close-up live performance.

Callaway breathes wisdom and passion into Arlen, Porter, Rodgers, and the Bergmans, as well as contemporary writers and her own originals. Come and see why Christopher Loudon of Jazz Times calls her the “…superbly intelligent, singularly creative pop-jazz stylist who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Streisand, Ronstadt, Shirley Horn, and Dianne Reeves…”

Produced by Donna Rubin and Josh Gladstone, Hamptons Summer Songbook By The Sea has become a distinctive cultural fixture in the Hamptons, presenting leading voices from Broadway, cabaret and jazz in a setting designed for storytelling, sophistication and connection. The series gives audiences the rare opportunity to experience major performers in an up-close environment that feels both polished and personal.

The 2026 season opened with Broadway star Norm Lewis and continues with a summer lineup celebrating the American Songbook, cabaret and musical theater. Following Callaway’s July 11th performance, the schedule continues with Klea Blackhurst and Billy Stritch performing the songs of Hoagy Carmichael on July 18th; David Alpern hosting Maria Abousand Eric Yves Garcia in an evening devoted to Lorenz Hart on July 25th; “A Swell-egant, Elegant Party,” hosted by Laurence Maslon and starring Eric Comstock and Barbara Fasano, on August 1st; KT Sullivan and Mark Nadler joined by Stephanie Pope and Christine Pedi in a program co-sponsored by the Mabel Mercer Foundation on August 22nd; and a season finale with Tony Award-winning “A Chorus Line” star Donna McKechnie on August 29th.
