Montauk’s Chad Smith, the drummer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, is scheduled to performwith fellow Montauker Nancy Atlas at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor next month.

Atlas and her band, The Nancy Atlas Project, are lining up a series of Friday concerts atBay Street, called Fireside Sessions, with a special guest musician each week. Smith isscheduled for the January 3 show.

In a Q&A with Dan’s Papers earlier this year, Atlas named Smith as the best guest star she’sever worked with. “He is an absolute animal,” Atlas said. “When he sits in on drums, I trulyhave to pull my belt in a notch tighter. He is a friend but also just a true inspiration. He raisesthe bar of the entire band whenever we are lucky enough to have him onstage with us. Atruly great guy, to boot. I adore him.”

Smith joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1988, just five years after the band formed.

The concerts are being lined up for every Friday in January and February, excludingFebruary 7. Showtime is 8 p.m. and admission will be $15 per show. Visit baystreet.org fortickets or call 631-725-9500. The box office will be closed from December 22 to January 6,but tickets will be available at the door January 3.
