I went upstairs and asked Roy, but he said no. After the show, the crowd was demanding a third encore. Roy Buchanan, who turned down playing for the Rolling Stones after Brian Jones died, played here in June of 1988. Of course, we lose some of our favorites as time goes by: Rick Danko, Luther Allison, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Tito Puente, Toy Caldwell, Albert Collins, Laura Nyro, Nicolette Larson, Richie Havens, Kenny Rankin, Jeff Buckley, and Chris Whitley all played here. And before we had a generator, we lost power three times during shows-Rick Danko of The Band, Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze, and Martin Sexton all played acoustic guitars by candlelight when that happened. I also remember Buddy Guy walking outside with his guitar and getting into a passing car still playing his guitar. I do remember, however, getting to sing “Can’t You See” on my birthday with Toy Caldwell, who made the song famous when he sang it with The Marshall Tucker Band. Nude pinup pictures line one wall, evoking the venue’s dive bar past.Įveryone here has their favorite shows, but I’d have to choose from over a thousand to pick one. Klyph Black still plays here along with The Nancy Atlas Project, Rubix Kube, The Lone Sharks, Little Head Thinks, Booga Sugar, Mama Lee Rose & Friends, Inda Eaton, and Peter Michne, aka Bosco, who has performed here more than any other artist. The Talkhouse is also home for a lot of local artists. Talkhouse owner Peter Honercamp (LEFT) on stage with two-time Grammy winner Terrance Simien in 2010. We are the smallest club in the world hosting this kind of talent. This year some of the acts are Luka Bloom, Southside Johnny, Buster Poindexter, 10,000 Maniacs, Loudon Wainwright III, Judy Collins, Taj Mahal, Steve Earle, The English Beat, Leon Russell, Big Head Todd, Ingrid Michaelson, Collie Buddz, and Rufus and Martha Wainwright. The musicians come from all musical genres-folk, blues, soul, jazz, country, and rock ’n’ roll. Paul McCartney and Jon Bon Jovi sing a duet. Since then, more than 50 artists and bands that are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have played here, including such megastars as Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Buffett, Jon Bon Jovi, Paul Simon, and Sting, though those six did so for charity or fun.

We charged $10 and sold out.Īn August 2013 performance by Mac McAnally (left) Jimmy Buffett. We had a six-channel sound board and a stage that was about eight feet wide by six feet deep. I knew the bluesman, John Hammond, and he was the first national act to play there. I got the idea from them that live music on the East End could work. My cousin, Klyph Black, and a friend, Eddie Mac, started playing every week that September.

The Talkhouse had always been a great saloon, but it was closed when I bought it with a few friends and relatives in 1987. Here at the Talkhouse the employee is always right.” One, from It’s a Wonderful Life, reads: “No man is a failure who has friends.” The other says: “Customers come and customers go. For those of us who work here, that egalitarian spirit infuses our relationships. A gay man or a single woman can come here alone and feel completely at ease. There are lots of places out here populated by people born on third base who think they hit a triple, but the Talkhouse is laid-back, unpretentious, and populated by a group of friends uninterested in proving anything to anybody. It’s a place where everyone is equal and everyone is accepted. For 27 years, we’ve been a local bar that doubles as a sanctuary. That was written about a different bar in a different place, but it could easily apply to The Stephen Talkhouse.

MoehringerĬhris Robinson Brotherhood band on stage in August 2011. Most of all we went there when we needed to be found.” -Excerpt from The Tender Bar by J.R. We went there when looking for love, or sex, or trouble, or for someone who had gone missing, because sooner or later everyone turned up there. We went there when we didn’t know what we needed, hoping someone might tell us. We went there after weddings and funerals, and for something to settle our nerves, and always for a shot of courage just before. We went there when happy, to celebrate, and when sad, to sulk. We went there when thirsty, of course, and when hungry, and when dead tired. The Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett is a local haunt with a global music scene. Its storied history of hosting music legends and work with the local community have made The Stephen Talkhouse an Amagansett institution.
