KDHamptons: Robert which projects can we can look forward to next from you?

* Don’t miss Kate’s show at the Surf Lodge in Montauk on August 15th! I’m very close to finishing the album and I can’t wait to perform some of my new material live. I will be performing at the Surf Lodge Aug 15 th! Kate: I have been in the studio writing music, and adding new material to an album I recently worked on with Lenny Kravitz. KDHamptons: Kate, tell us about what you are working on this summer? We like Naturally Good for lunch, and Crows Nest or Ricks Crabby Cowboy for dinner. Robert: I usually wake up around 7AM, take a walk on the beach and check the waves… Hopefully I have time to surf for a few hours, grab some lunch with my wife & friends then get together later in the evening for a BBQ or even a beach fire. At night, one of our favorite things to do is take a drive to the Crows Nest to watch the sunset on the bay while enjoying a spicy jalapeño margarita & a delish Uruguay treat from the BBQ.

We love spending days on the beach surfing and soaking up the sun with friends. Once in a while we go to the beach and have our morning coffee there. Kate: A perfect Hamptons day is waking up early & making breakfast together at our cottage. KDHamptons: What does a perfect Hamptons day look like to you? I also love being in the country, and the ease that it brings me. First and foremost, I love the ocean & its wild coastline. Robert McKinley: I’ve been coming to the Hamptons since I was a kid. I’m pretty sure that’s why I love it so much. The beach is a very special place for us. We fell in love & were married in Montauk last year. After several years of being in LA making movies, I found myself back in NYC & I reconnected with Rob on the beach three summers ago. Kate Nauta: I started coming to the Hamptons when I was 18, which is when I first met Rob. KDHamptons: How long have you been coming to the Hamptons? Why do you love it so much?
