Every week we read through everything happening across the South Shore and keep only what is actually worth your time. Here is what is on in Bay Shore this weekend.
This Weekend's Top Picks in Bay Shore: Crystal Ship: A Tribute to The Doors at Boulton Center for the Arts (Saturday 8:00PM).
Crystal Ship brings the full theatrical weight of The Doors catalog to the Boulton Center on Saturday night. The intimate seated setting in Bay Shore makes every note land differently than it would in a bigger room, and there's something about hearing "Riders on the Storm" in a space where you can feel the bass in your chest. A night for listeners, not just fans.
Date Night & Nightlife in Bay Shore this weekend: Manticore: Tribute to Emerson, Lake & Palmer at Boulton Center for the Arts (Friday 8:00PM).
Prog rock was built for rooms like the Boulton Center. Manticore takes on the sweeping, intricate catalog of Emerson, Lake & Palmer on Friday night in Bay Shore, and the seated intimate setting lets every time signature shift and keyboard run land the way it was meant to. ELP's music rewards close listening, and this is a room where close listening comes naturally. A Friday night for the couple that takes their music seriously.
