Norah Jones Performs a Benefit Concert for the Montauk Point Lighthouse

On Saturday, August 2, Norah Jones will perform a concert at Montauk Point Lighthouse in a benefit show. Doors for the show open at 5 p.m. for a pre-party, followed by the performance at 8 p.m.

Norah Jones first emerged on the world stage with the 2002 release of “Come Away With Me,” her self-described “moody little record” that introduced a singular new voice and grew into a global phenomenon, sweeping the 2003 Grammy Awards including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist.

Since then, Jones has become a 10-time Grammy-winner, sold more than 52 million albums and her songs have been streamed 10 billion times worldwide. She has released a series of critically acclaimed and commercially successful solo albums — “Feels Like Home” (2004), “Not Too Late” (2007), “The Fall” (2009), “Little Broken Hearts” (2012), “Day Breaks” (2016), “Pick Me Up Off The Floor” (2020), the live album “‘Til We Meet Again” (2021), her holiday album “I Dream of Christmas” (2021), and the Grammy Award-winning album “Visions “(2024) — as well as albums with her collective bands The Little Willies, El Madmo, and Puss N Boots featuring Sasha Dobson and Catherine Popper.

The 2010 compilation “…Featuring Norah Jones” showcased her incredible versatility by collecting her collaborations with artists as diverse as Willie Nelson, Foo Fighters, Outkast, and Herbie Hancock. In 2022, Jones launched her podcast “Norah Jones Is Playing Along” which features candid conversations and impromptu musical collaborations with some of her favorite musicians.

The Montauk Historical Society is the nonprofit organization that owns the Montauk Point Lighthouse. It costs over $1.5 million a year to run the lighthouse and museum. Special events, like its annual benefit concert, are an essential way to fund programming and maintenance. An extensive restoration of the tower and the exterior of the museum was completed summer of 2023 after over five years of work and planning, and at a cost of $1.8 million. It was funded by grants, generous donations, and admission fees. A $38 million revetment, led by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and New York State’s Department of Environmental Control, was completed that same year, and will safeguard the lighthouse for future generations. The mission of the Montauk Historical Society is to collect, restore, preserve, and display historically significant buildings, objects, and writings, and to preserve the history and cultures of Montauk and the East End for this and future generations.

Norah Jones is presented by Brooklyn-based events company Murmrr. The show is rain or shine. For tickets, visit murmrr.com.
