January 20 through 25, New York’s City Winery (155 Varick Street) is holding a series of four emergency benefit concerts featuring an impressive line-up of musicians including some familiar to Studio 360: Patti Smith, The Swell Season, Rosanne Cash, and Yo La Tengo. Other artists slated to perform include Carolina Chocolate Drops, Lewis Black,Joshua Bell, and many more.
