YM Staff Pick: The Sway Machinery

First, this is not Y-related at all, but as a judge on the Jewish-themed Six Points Fellowship music panel, I was most impressed by Jeremiah Lockwood of The Sway Machinery. He plays a free concert tonight with members of Antibalas, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Balkan Beat Box, Arcade Fire AND an open bar. Expect Jews, downtown music types, the cross-section and extension of people who are enticed by "free" anything.

Hidden Melodies Revealed--a celebration of Rosh Hashanah with Jeremiah Lockwood and The Sway Machinery
September 12, 10PM, Free
Angel Orensanz Foundation
172 Norfolk Street (between Houston and Stanton)

There will be an open bar from 9:45-11pm featuring Ardbeg Scotch and Greenpoint Wine courtesy of the Moet Hennessy Company.
