THE MACHINE

Friday October 9th 8:00pm at
The Sovereign Performing Arts Center in Reading, PA
THE MACHINE, America ’s premier live Pink Floyd experience, extends Pink Floyds legacy through a multi-dimensional approach, faithfully recreating its timeless music while also reinventing it with interpretive jams. THE MACHINE has forged a reputation for excellence and an intimate connection with their growing audience. Their show is nothing less than a full out musical experience that’s not to be missed.
Spin Magazine praises that THE MACHINE “sound exactly like Pink Floyd” while The Village Voice declares that “The Machine is dead-on.” The adoration continues from Bob Ezrin, the co-producer of Pink Floyd’s seminal album The Wall, “these guys are great!” The New York Times, Washington Post, and Philadelphia Inquirer have all chimed in on the precision performances of THE MACHINE.
THE MACHINE released a live concert DVD and CD, Two Nights at the Keswick, from their 2003 performances. These documents are audio and visual proof that The Machine has perfected every vocal nuance, guitar riff, and improvisational delight that Pink Floyd wowed their audiences with for decades.
THE MACHINE was featured in the August 2006 issue of Relix Magazine and the Rock Report admires The Machine’s “perfect execution and attention to detail leading to flawless reproductions of Pink Floyd’s songs yet the freedom to jam and improvise adds even more flavor and depth to the established catalog. "It’s been very rewarding for us to travel all over the country and internationally having the honor to present the musical experience of Pink Floyd to newer fans who never had the option of seeing Pink Floyd in concert,” says drummer Todd Cohen. “It is a complete thrill to hear a fan tell me ‘My soul was filled with the magic of the music you made.” This is timeless music that we’re excited to continue sharing worldwide."

NATALIE COLE

The Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA

Natalie Cole, the daughter of Nat King Cole and former Duke Ellington Orchestra singer Maria Hawkins Ellington Cole, is an influential American singer-songwriter and performer who has won ten Grammy Awards. She achieved success in her early career as an R&B star, but smoothly changed her repertoire toward a more jazz oriented musical style in the early 1990's.
When Natalie Cole’s seminal Unforgettable…With Love came out in 1991, the jazz collection set a new standard for reinventing the Great American Songbook. The CD, which captured six Grammys, including Album and Record Of The Year, spent five weeks at No. 1 and sold more than eight million copies in the U.S. alone. Cole's most recent work includes the release of Leavin' in 2006, a cover albums of tracks made popular by Shelby Lynne, Kate Bush, Sting, Fiona Apple and more. Her latest album, Still Unforgettable released in 2008. The first single and video is another virtual duet with her father, a cover of his 1951 hit "Walkin' My Baby Back Home". At the 51st Grammy Awards in 2009 Still Unforgettable won the award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
