We were slow to pick up on this one at Paste HQ (800+ miles in distance will do that), but there are a pair of miraculously free concerts happening tonight and tomorrow night in the NYC. As part of the three-day Music Downtown series, M. Ward and Nick Lowe will play for free at 7 World Trade Center in Manhattan. Last night featured the immortal Hold Steady in a headlining slot, and we're sorry we couldn't get the word out to you in time (please vent all your ire via the e-mail link below). However, if you're an NYC resident or make your home within shouting distance of the Big Apple, check out these lineups:

Sept. 18 show (tonight):
M. Ward
Victoria Williams
McCarthy Trenching

Sept. 19 show (tomorrow):
Nick Lowe
Holmes Brothers
Ollabelle

Both concerts kick off at 5:30pm local time. For all of the details, check out the series website.
