Calissa in Water Mill has partnered with BCL Entertainment to launch an eight-week live-music series called Calissa Sounds beginning on Friday, July 16. Calissa Sounds will launch with a live performance by Wyclef Jean on the 16th, followed by deep house electronic duo Bob Moses Club Set on July 23, Armand Van Helden on July 30, Capital Cities DJ Set on August 6, Questlove on August 13, Rev Run X Ruckus on August 20, DJ Cassidy on August 27, and St. Lucia and RAC will perform a collaborative DJ set together for the first time ever at Calissa on September 3 to close out the series.
Calissa Sounds aims to create the “ultimate Mykonos meets the Hamptons mashup music-driven experience.” The idea is to offer live music to patrons, clients, friends, and family who missed vibrant dining out over the past 16 months. The performances will happen on Calissa’s expansive outdoor terrace.
Conceptualized by three New Yorkers, the series was born after a conversation between restaurateurs James Mallios, Kylie Monagan of Civetta Hospitality, and live event producer and Founder of BCL Entertainment Bettie Levy. “The trio bonded over their love of the Mykonian vibe and style of live performances they had experienced on the island over past summers,” read a statement from the venue.
Reservations with table minimums for Calissa Sounds can be made by visiting https://www.calissahamptons.com/calissasounds/. Performances will begin at 10 PM. Bottle service will be offered and the kitchen at Calissa will stay open until midnight during each performance night.
