Good Band Alert: Daniel Kahn & the Painted Bird

From the desk of Ned P. Rauch:

My friend Paula and I caught these guys at Barbes, in Park Slope, Friday night. They were great. Horns, guitars, accordion, Yiddish lyrics and a Springsteen cover ("My Father's House," from Nebraska). Plus, special guest from Moldova! What a treat! Anyway, catch 'em if you can. They're worth it. And if you're in New York and looking for a place to hear great music, Barbes, without fail is a good place to start.
