The Machine Performs Pink Floyd

The Machine has forged a nearly 40-year reputation for extending the musical legacy of Pink Floyd. The New York-based quartet performs a diverse mix from The Floyd's extensive 15-album repertoire, with faithful renditions of popular hits as well as obscure gems.

With stellar musicianship and passionate delivery, The Machine explores collective improvisation rivaling that of early-1970s Pink Floyd. Their expanded theatrical elements, elaborate stage displays, and lighting continue The Floyd spirit of the 1980s. The band is also known for recreating entire albums, accepting requests from fans, and taking an A–Z approach in which one song is played for every letter of the alphabet.

The Machine has sold out theaters, premier showcase rooms, and casinos across North America, Europe, and Asia. They have performed at music festivals including Bonnaroo, Riverbend, and Gathering of the Vibes, and shared the stage with full symphony orchestras, including the Atlanta, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, Charlotte, and San Diego Symphonies, as well as the Buffalo Philharmonic.

The band features founding member Tahrah Cohen (drums), longtime bandmates Scott Chasolen (keys, vocals) and Ryan Ball (guitar, vocals), and newest member Chris DeAngelis (bass, lead vocals). The band continues to celebrate the music of Pink Floyd and honor the life of Joe Pascarell, who co-founded the band with Tahrah in 1988.
