Overview

The Machine's performances deliver both faithful renditions and reworked interpretations of classic Pink Floyd. "Guitar One" magazine noted, "You know you've got it going on when you sell out B.B. King's in New York City and Roger Waters' sax player jams with you." (Roger Waters' touring sax player, Norbert Stachel, has performed with The Machine.) The Machine is known for performing some of Pink Floyd's lesser known material, including fan favorites such as "Fearless" and "Interstellar Overdrive".
