Branches of Light - The Sway Machinery's Holiday Ball https://dice.fm/partner/tatu-llc/event/7dog29-branches-of-light-the-sway-machinerys-haliday-ball-21st-dec-nublu-new-york-tickets

Join The Sway Machinery and special guests, local roots music icons THE EBONY HILLBILLIES, for an utterly joyful completely unique winter solstice celebration, just ahead of the rare megaholiday co-occurrence of Khanukah, Christmas and Kwanza... The Ebony Hillbillies – aka the last African-American String Band in America - have been bringing the party to music lovers in NYC and around the country for decades. According to lead singer Gloria Gassaway Thomas, "When you see the Ebony Hillbillies, you go home and say, ‘Damn, I had a ball, I got down with them, I had a workout!’" The Sway Machinery has a long history of producing unique shows that call upon the social qualities of the Yiddish-spiritual music tradition known as khazones (cantorial art music). Part rock concert, part theatrical experience, their shows have presented a unique facet of NYC culture for well over a decade in a radically inclusive environment. Nublu - 151 Ave C (bet. E. 9 and E. 10) Saturday, December 21 7-10pm
