Legendary New York City Venue Heads East With The Opening Of Canal Room Southampton

May 29, 2012 - PRLog -- New York, NY—On June 15th, a staple in New York City music and nightlife heads east with the opening of Canal Room Southampton. Located at 230 Elm Street in Southampton, New York, Canal Room Southampton will offer live music performances, themed events, billiard and arcade games, signature Canal Room cocktails and a spacious location to accommodate up to 800 patrons each night. The original Canal Room has become a landmark in New York City, with notable guests like Miley Cyrus, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Mark Sanchez, Katie Couric, John Mayer, Mariah Carey and countless others. Canal Room Southampton, presented by veteran hospitality entrepreneurs Marcus Linial and Sam Lott, will continue that trend and feature celebrity appearances in addition to today’s hottest cover bands from the ‘80s, and ‘90s, including the world-renowned leading 80s tribute band, Rubix Kube, and the “Saved by the 90s” party with The Bayside Tigers, along with well-known DJs and established recording artists.

“The Canal Room has seen immense success and recognition in lower Manhattan, with a stage that’s created stardom and been graced by some of the world’s most celebrated recording artists.” said Marcus Linial founder of Marcus Linial Presents. “We are thrilled to offer the same quality entertainment with an even larger venue at New York City’s most popular summer destination with the debut of Canal Room Southampton.”

The vast majority of New Yorkers spend much of their summers vacationing in the Hamptons for its beaches, great shopping and exclusive social scene, but despite all of its offerings, Marcus Linial and Sam Lott recognize the need for a spacious location where vacationers and residents can let their hair down and explore their inner rock star. Canal Room Southampton will fill this void in Hamptons entertainment and nightlife, providing superior music acts and a meeting place for Hamptonites to celebrate, relax and enjoy the summer.

Marcus Linial and Sam Lott are trailblazers in New York City nightlife who have created some of the biggest names in music venues, beginning with their venture at Reminisce Lounge on the Upper East Side and leading into their subsequent endeavor at Shine, which reopened in 2003 as the Canal Room, one of the nation’s most famed live-music destinations. In addition to working in nightlife, Marcus Linial is also the founder of Marcus Linial Presents, his eponymous multi-service entertainment company that breeds fame and prosperity with the extension of its Fun Music Artists arm. Fun Music Artists is a booking agency and management company representing impressive acts like Rubix Kube “Back to the 80’s Show,” arguably the most acclaimed tribute band in the nation with celebrity fans performing alongside like Bret Michaels, MC Hammer, Debbie Gibson and Tiffany and the Journey Tribute Band “Voyage.” Fun Music Artists elevates bands from local bar acts to selling out national venues around the country and performing for major corporations including Google, Marquis Jet, Spanx and Cisco.

Canal Room Southampton will host weekly decade themed parties with live performances and DJs to provide the soundtrack for the evening and patrons can show off their best old school style.
