| "Lockwood's arrangements of Jewish cantorial songs whip up a frenzy wherein all the world's music can do that which music does best: celebrate. Such joyful synthesis is what music is all about, not to mention what New York is all about."--Buzz Poole, The Village Voice ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------Veteran subway-performing Blues singer Jeremiah Lockwood teams up with an all-star cast of NY underground greats (musicians who have graced the records of Tom Waits, Arcade Fire and Antibalas, to name a few) to summon voices from beneath the concrete streets. Calling upon the sounds of Malian guitars, Saharan beats, Afro-pop horns and the B-L-U-E-S, The Sway Machinery goes knocking at the gates of prayer with muscles swollen and eyes clenched. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------On September 12, 2007 The Sway Machinery will unveil its most ambitious project to date: Hidden Melodies Revealed. Taking place on the night of Rosh HaShana, the Jewish lunar new year, and falling at the intersection of storytelling, theater and concept concert, this event will bring the band's blistering live show to a new level. Taking the traditional New Year ritual music as jumping off point, Hidden Melodies Reveled will showcase the band's powerful ability to transform the ancient arts into an experience that is living, joyful and transformative. Don't miss this exciting breakthrough performance! Visit our shows listing for all the details. A companion EP featuring music from the concert will also be released on September 12 . ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------check out the Village Voice review: http://villagevoice.com/music/0637,poole,74420,22.html | |
