Cabin Fever Music Festival

The Cabin Fever Music Festival first hit the East End 10 years ago. The festival was established by Brendon Henry, Seth Farrell, and Paul Fallo as a way to spotlight local musical talent. Now in its tenth year, the festival continues to feature local music in area bars and restaurants throughout The Hamptons during the month of February. "I am so happy with how we went from a dream of how to help promote our insanely talented local artists and year round venues, to an institution every winter on the East End," said Henry in an interview with The Independent last year. Staple venues include Buckley's Inn Between and Doran's in Hampton Bays and the Southampton Publick House. Southampton Publick House opens the festival on Friday with performances by Souliztik and Nick Kerzner at 9:30 PM. On Saturday, visit Buckley's Inn Between for Flak Jacket, The Pandemics, and Bad Mary at 9:30 PM. New venues added to the festival this year are MJ Dowlings, which hosts The Realm and Earthreal at 9:30 PM on Saturday, February 18, and North Sea Tavern. North Sea Tavern will host one of two Sunday matinee shows on February 19 with Clearwater Stills, Warm Needles, The Avoiders, Adams Atoms, and The Atlantic & Eye all performing, starting at 3 PM. The second matinee show will be at Jimmy C's in Hampton Bays on Sunday, February 26, with The Tweekers, Black Leaf, The Shipwrecks, Felix, and more. Cabin Fever offers a little something for everyone and a great way to beat those winter doldrums. An Acoustic Night will take place at Cowfish in Hampton Bays on Wednesday, February 15, at 8 PM. The show includes Black Leaf, Chetflix and Nill, and Andrew Cooper. Lantern Sound Recording Stage will present Mick Hargreaves and Grand Theft Aloha, Kyle Horn, and Craig Whitney at Duran's on Friday, February 24, around 9 PM. This year's festival is sponsored by promotion experts at Hubba Productions and Clambake Lager Beer, a local micro brew. Product will be available at all the shows.
