What you’ll get at the Mohawk tonight is a musician from Israel, raised in New Jersey, who plays alt-country and soul. Eef Barzelay, most notable for his work with the band Clem Snide, is starting a brief tour here. His new album, “Lose Big,” was released this week, so he’s likely to play some hip, new tunes. Barzelay has toured with many music greats, including Ben Folds. He currently calls Nashville home. more at austin360.com
