Westhampton Beach - The 501(c)(3) not-for-profit Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center unveiled its Fall 2010 Main Stage season this week and as expected, it's full of world-class performing artists and ensembles. As a year-round focal point for the East End's diverse community, the Center is committed to fulfilling its mission to present a broad selection of enriching programming suitable for the whole family. Performances to be held in the Mollie Parnis Auditorium.

Then, the greatest guitarist to ever pick up the instrument, Buddy Guy, performs on Saturday, October 30 at 8 p.m. He doesn't just play the blues, his guitar cries and screams the blues - and then he wails the blues at the top of his lungs, and croons so deep you shiver. With his seasoned sidemen and radical gumbo of blues, avant rock, soul and free jazz, Buddy Guy is a master! This five time Grammy Award winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has traded solos with everyone from Muddy Waters to Eric Clapton and John Mayer and is still going strong! Tickets are $125, $100, $75.

Ani DiFranco takes the stage on Thursday, November 18 at 8 p.m. This Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter/guitarist is completely original! She has written hundreds of songs, played thousands of shows, captured the imaginations of legions of followers, and jammed with folkies, orchestras, rappers, Rock & Roll Hall-of-Famers, jazz musicians, poets, pop superstars and storytellers. Her elegant wordplay and increasingly innovative music reflect her place in life with warmth and clarity. She revels in her artistic freedom - feeling good..."and ready to have a party." Opening for DiFranco will be Melissa Ferrick. Tickets are $75, $60, $45.

Then, Robben Ford, Michael Landau, Gary Novak and Jimmy Haslip, otherwise known as Renegade Creation, perform on November 26 at 8 p.m. With such veteran musical giants, Ford, Haslip and Novak, it is perfectly reasonable to assume that 'jazz-rock fusion' will be on the menu, but when you add guitar virtuoso Landau to the mix, fans will be treated to expertly executed guitar-driven blues-rock. With Renegade Creation, the members of this "super-group" have returned to their bluesy roots, while staying true to their artistry. All exceptional talents, they are taking blues-rock to whole new level of sophistication. Tickets are $55, $40, $25.

Next is The Winter Show from George Winston on Saturday, November 27 at 8 p.m. Winston's solo piano concert features a variety of styles, including melodic folk piano, stride piano, R&B and Vince Guaraldi's Peanuts pieces. In concert, Winston will perform songs from his new CD as well as selections from his seasonal favorites Autumn, December, Winter into Spring and Summer. Tickets are $50, $35, $20.

The brilliant, internationally celebrated Vienna Boys Choir will surely heighten your holiday spirits. With voices of unforgettable beauty, The Choir presents timeless music with universal appeal.
