The Black Keys are playing Housing Works Bookstore

The Black Keys @ the Roots Picnic 2009 (more by Tim Griffin)
The Black Keys

“The Black Keys’ new album, Brothers, is due May 18 on Nonesuch Records. In conjunction with the album’s release, the band will launch an exclusive pop-up store at New York City’s Housing Works Bookstore Cafe, one of downtown New York’s most vital community institutions. The pop-up store will be open from May 18 through May 20 only, highlighted by an intimate performance by The Black Keys on May 19 from which 100% of ticket proceeds will go directly to Housing Works, Inc., which provides housing, healthcare, job training, and advocacy for New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS.”

Tickets are on sale, and it’s actually only one of at least two shows the Black Keys will play while they’re in town. The other one is free. All dates below…
