A benefit concert for East Village musician Jesse Malin Friday night at Irving Plaza

The benefit show for East Village-based singer-songwriter and business owner Jesse Malin scheduled for Tompkins Square Park this Saturday will now occur Friday night at Irving Plaza. 

Malin made the announcement yesterday on Instagram, writing, "I can't thank these artists and people enough for doing this. It really means the world to me." 

The lineup features Gogol Bordello, Madball, Murphy's Law, The Capturers, War Orphan, and Crazy & The Brains. Concert-goers can donate at the box office to attend. (You can read more about his Sweet Relief fund at this link.) 

Malin, who has been undergoing rehabilitation, including daily physical therapy, was left paralyzed from the waist down after suffering a rare spinal stroke last May. 

Malin is a partner in several local establishments, including Niagara, 96 Tears and the Bowery Electric.

Irving Plaza is at 17 Irving Place at 15th Street.

Oh good! I hope it will bring in some much needed money, and even more so than that, I hope it will cheer Jesse to be reminded that we're all here rooting for him all along the journey to recover his health.
