Front man of The Sway Machinery and frequent collaborator with Balkan Beat Box, Jeremiah Lockwood started his career performing on the streets and in the subways of New York City, playing solo and with Piedmont Blues master Carolina Slim. Local favorites, Jeremiah and Carolina Slim's relationship has been chronicled in The New York Times Magazine and Time Out NY. American Primitive, Jeremiah's solo album, is an attempt to capture that fascinating and powerful intersection of Americana and NYC street culture. Listen to "Love in the Dungeon" and "Going to Brooklyn" from American Primitive here on Myspace.
"Lockwood, a young Brooklynite who plays good guitar and banjo and sings like he's possessed by the schizoid spirit of Bukka White, forges his own idiosyncratic strain of blues-cum-country on his impressive debut." --DownBeat
The Sway Machinery, Jeremiah's band, offers a different view of his musical personality. This exciting project, a collaboration with musicians from Antibalas and Tom Waits' old band, is an exploration of the Ashkenazic Jewish liturgical music tradition Jeremiah grew-up exposed to in his family. The band has been capturing the attention of more and more New Yorkers in the last year and is poised to break out on the national and international level. Listen to "Birkas Kohanim" from The Sway Machinery's new self-titled EP, out now on JDub Records. Visit http://swaymachinery.com
"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
Jeremiah Lockwood lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife Shasta and their two sons Moses Lion and Jacob Ulysses.

It was nice talking with you on the train a couple of weeks ago. I told you of my 7th annual NYC Musical Saw Festival in Astoria. So far 45 musical saw players registered to perform. 2 are coming from Japan, 3 from Germany, 3 from Canada, 1 from Belgium and the rest from all over the USA. It will be wild!
Have you ever seen or heard so many musical saw players playing together? This is a once in a lifetime kind of thing on account of the Guinness World Record we are going for. If you have time, maybe I'll see you there?
