Eyal Maoz and Jon Madof bring a two-guitar lineup to Downtown Music Gallery, joined by drummer Nate Rappaport.
Maoz is a guitarist, performer and composer whose career has spanned decades and countries. He has led ensembles with releases on Tzadik, Out Now, Piadrums, Ayler and Chant Records, is a member of John Zorn’s Abraxas and Cobra, and has recorded with John Medeski and Tim Berne, among others.
Downtown Music Gallery offers a unique experience for those drawn to adventurous live music in a basement setting beneath an art gallery and beauty salon. The room is modest in size, fostering a close connection between performers and audience, who gather mostly to listen attentively. Shows are free with donations encouraged, and concerts typically begin early evening on Tuesdays, featuring multiple sets of creative, often experimental music. The venue lacks a full kitchen but has a bar, encouraging a focused yet relaxed environment where conversation takes a backseat to the music. Located on the east side of Chinatown, near East Broadway and the Bowery's end, it’s accessible by subway and bus. The space’s raw, unadorned walls and intimate layout make it a distinctive spot for discovering innovative sounds in Manhattan.
