If The Machine looks familiar, it’s because you’ve seen the band members before in separate places.
The Machine is fronted by two unique artists that compliment each other well. The first is underground Hip Hop Legend JUICE. JUICE has earned his stripes through the battle circuit and has taken down the likes of Common and Eminem. The second is former Chicago Idol winner, RusSoul. He’s performed with Common, Kanye West, Erykah Badu, and many more.
Saxophonist Aaron Getsug was named one of the five best jazz musicians in Chicago by The Chicago Tribune; electric pianist Brian Felix was the founder and leader of the well known national touring band Om Trio; bassist Tim Lincoln has made hip hop background tracks for the likes of ESPN; and drummer Brian Abraham has recently colaborated with Umphrey's McGee with his drum sequencing skills on their latest album.
The Machine is a recent addition to the party scene, but they have hit it in a hard way. Since their first impromptu gig at a birthday party, The Machine has been a featured act at private industry parties, rocked the crowd at The Global Mixx, and were requested by Charles Oakley to play his private party featuring NBA players.
The Machine is a cutting edge group because it is comprised of the next wave of musicians from Hip Hop, Soul, Jazz and Rock.
