Upcoming events:

Saturday, February 11th, 6pm - 9pm: The Sway Machinery

Jeremiah Lockwood grew up with deep Jewish music - his dad was a cantor - but as a teen he also started playing deep American music - country blues guitar. He pulls both streams together with his band the Sway Machinery, an all star outfit whose members also play with Balkan Beat Box (as he does), Antibalas and even Arcade Fire. The group's lyrics are drawn from Jewish religious texts, but the music is wide open. Recently the band added yet another dimension, teaming up with the electrifying Malian Singer Khaira Arby. She joins the Sway Machinery on the band's latest cd The House of Friendly Ghosts (JDub) and on an Electric Cowbell 7". The Sway Machinery joins us live ahead of a big tour of Australia sandwiched between two NY gigs - Feb 15th at the Museum of Jewish Heritage and March 9th at Zebulon.

Saturday, February 25th, 6pm - 9pm: Rob Weisberg & His Co-Host Rich Hazelton

Saturday, March 3rd, 6pm - 9pm: Rob Weisberg & His Co-Host Trouble
