As we prepare to enter the Springtime, the season of pilgrimage and slaughtered lambs, the season of feasting and rejoicing, the season of energies unbridled and blood flowing loose in the veins, we of The Sway Machinery prepare to say a fond farewell to TOMER TZUR, who will be moving back to his native land of Israel at the end of the month. For me personally, NYC without Tomer is almost as hard to imagine as New York without graffiti on the subway cars and the 2nd Avenue Deli standing proudly on the corner of E 11th Street. These things, too, we have seen pass. But before I start pulling out my third hanky, I'll have you all know, there's a party starting and it won't stop 'till we all drop. This Sunday night at Zebulon, starting at an unwholesome hour and going until it's time to go, we will regal our friends and fans with our music and enjoy the company of my man Tomer Tzur in good old-fashioned style.

JDub's Slivovitz and Soul with Soulico and Golem
July 27 2008, 8:00 PM
New York-based JDub Records brings artists performing innovative Jewish music that crosses cultures and breaks down barriers. Soulico, the four-member DJ crew from Tel Aviv with guest vocalists, delivers an original blend of Middle Eastern folk songs with hip hop beats using turntables, mixers and samplers. Golem takes listeners on a journey from Eastern Europe to the the Lower East Side. These folk-punk auteurs will electrify dance floors with their globetrotting goulash of Jewish, Slavic and Roma songs and stories.

From Rav Shmuel: "I'm playing a set at an interesting venue nicknamed The ROC House this Saturday night. ROC stands for Congregation Ramat Orah but I will not be leading services - they have set up a stage in their rec room and the space has a great vibe. I know because I played there a few months ago and it was really fun! There's a band called Eden playing at about 9:15 or so and I go on at about 10:15 - so come on out and catch some real fun music on a rainy Saturday night in NYC. Because you can."

NEW YORK, NY Uplifting groove-oriented music that combines hip hop, reggae, folk, and a bit of Hebrew.
The concert takes place on Tuesday November 10, 2009 at 8pm at the Living Room, 154 Ludlow Street, NYC. Cover charge is $12. Chana will be sharing the bill with C Lanzbom and BettySoo. This concert is part of WFUV's "On Your Radar," a live music series sponsored by John Platt, host for WFUV's Sunday Breakfast. For more information about the show, contact (212) 533-7237 or visit www.livingroomny.com.

MORE ABOUT CHANA ROTHMAN:
Chana's music, using two languages and ancient texts to address social ills and joys of today, brings a universal appeal. The message is unity through music. Two years as a Head Songleader in Reform Judaism's teen leadership summer camps helped Chana develop a passion for music as a tool to bring communities together.
RICHARD ANTONE of ELMORE MAGAZINE writes: "Rothman's music bubbles with a conscious vibe that's capable of bringing people together. She is adept at using religious imagery and bilingual lyrics as a bridge rather than a wedge."
Chana's debut album, "We Can Rise," (Oyhoo Records) produced by C Lanzbom, was voted "Best Album of 2007" by jewschool.com and she was featured in "Top 5 Women Who Rock" by American Jewish Life and Lilith Magazine. Chana was also featured in the documentary film "Jewish Music: More Than Just Klezmer" produced by Brooklyn College Media Department.
NEW YORK TIMES says of Chana Rothman:"Worth Checking Out"

Description:
9Volt, the avantgarde, jazz-based New York City trio who recently released Open Circuit, perform a record release show on Feb. 19 at Konceptions at Korzo. The outfit features a collection of New York's brightest
underground jazz players including trombonist Rick Parker, guitarist EyalMaoz and drummer Yonadav Halevy. All About Jazz said Parker is a "powerful young jazz musician to be reckoned with," adding "Parker and his band are the best-kept secret in New York right now." John Zorn described Maoz as "a cutting edge guitarist who combines the harmonic lyricism of Bill Frisell with the angst and skronk of Marc
Ribot... keep your eyes and ears on this guy." Halevy toured with Arnie Lawrence's band for six years and has been a widely coveted session player performing with Sheila Jordan, Joel Frahm and Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. Tim Berne guests on the album and will perform with 9Volt on Feb. 19.
Open Circuit, the trio's debut album, was recently released via OutNow Recordings. NYC Jazz Record described the album as "a synthesis of many things that define powerful 'new' music - electronics and other sound elements, very free improvisation and the passion of the world of rock." Open Circuit is now streaming via OutNow Recordings' BandCamp .

An Evening with Peter Himmelman
Tue, Mar 4, 8pm
Bentley College, Adamian Academic Center
175 Forest Street
Waltham, MA
USA Today calls Peter Himmelman “one of rock’s most wildly imaginative performers.” Whether rocking out, creating crazy audience participation games or singing a Yiddish lullaby, this Grammy-nominated singer songwriter is not to be missed. Peter’s music is finely crafted, direct and honest. From having a video on MTVs rotation in 1985 to leading corporate creativity training music workshops, Peter has seen both the glory and the underside of the music business. He has provided music to such hit shows as ER, Judging Amy, and Bones. He recently completed a successful Kickstarter campaign for his new cd featuring musicians Leland Sklar and Jim Keltner. Yes, he really is Bob Dylan’s son-in-law, too.
Tickets (for non-Bentley students); $18 in advance, $20 at the door

$10 IN ADVANCE (get your tickets now!) or $15 at the door, but make that $10 for those in wondrous and fantastical attire
As we have done in the past, and will do in the future, The Sway Machinery is throwing down for the good people of Brooklyn this Purim--the Jewish carnival festival of reversal, libido and libation...we will be observing, celebration style...we hope to see you all out and about sharing in the good cheer...and for those of you sporting costumes, there will be cheaper tickets...
In keeping with the flow of energies between Persians and Jews documented in the Scroll of Esther...The Sway Machinery will be joined by Mitra Sumara, a band that plays pre-Revolutionary Iranian pop music, leaning heavily towards the funkiness that was the zeit-geist of serious music heads in the '70s. You will surely enjoy what they bring.
Also in attendance will be local favorite and Mehanata regular, DJ Joro Boro, keeping things warm before, after and between sets.
