Musical Saw festival
2:00 pm
Hellenic Cultural Center
27-09 Crescent Street
New York New York
The festival brings together musical saw players from all over NYC, the US and abroad and aims to preserve the past, honor the present and help shape the future of the 300 year old art form of making music with a carpenter’s handsaw. Astoria has become a pilgrimage place for saw players from such far away countries as China, Japan, India, Germany and Canada.
The festival enables saw players to meet other saw players and hear them play, perform solos and jam with others, learn about different types of saws and discover different techniques of playing – all in a friendly, supportive atmosphere.

Sunday July 17th
Morrissey & Smiths Night
10:00 pm
Sway
305 Spring St (between Hudson and Varick Sts)
New York, NY
Ever since Merseybeat started ferrying itself across the Atlantic in the early ’60s (not to mention the rise of some little combo called the Beatles), New York City has been in the midst of a love affair with British popular music. But there are few bands that inspire the kind of devotion that the Smiths, in particular lead mopester Morrissey, do. The proof can be found at Sway’s long-running, ridiculously popular Sunday-night shindig devoted to the Manchester band, helmed by Ben Cho and Gang Gang Dance’s Brian DeGraw. It’s packed every week, so get there early, or you’ll be stuck humming “What Difference Does It Make?” to yourself.
