Some people dubbed a radio they had been bringing to the beach for many years “Sand Machine” because it was filled with sand, yet it still worked. Inspired by its persistence and dedication to music, they named their band after it. That is the creation myth of Sand Machine. Since then the band has busied itself with creating infective melody lines and harmony arrangements reminiscent of the British invasion overlaying American roots rock. Encompassing social commentary, story-telling, emotional revelation, and a touch of wry, Sand Machine purports to be both the forest and the trees. Besides playing consistently in the Boston area and other parts of New England, they’ve also played NYC, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Nova Scotia and other places.
