GALA AT DUSK

SUMMER ROCK
Donavon Frankenreiter is not just a plucky, folksy rock musician but also a talented surfer, which may explain why he'll be hanging around the Hamptons for an extended period. Fans of his mellow, summery sound can catch him playing a free show at Surf Lodge in Montauk (183 Edgemere St., 631-483-5037) Sunday at 7 p.m. He'll also be playing at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett (161 Main St., 631-267-3117) Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $40.
