BONE MACHINE are a band of internationally renowned touring and recording musicians that perform a rebrand, melancholic, and punk jazz set of Tom Wait songs.

The band comprises Jack Healy on vocals and social strategy, Conor Brady on guitars and sonic sculpting, Julyo D’Agostino on bass and positive vibes and Des Harrington on drums and rhythmic karma, Dario Rodigherio on keys and spirituality.

Whether or not the songs and music of Tom Waits play a central role in your music collection, you simply have to experience this show live to feel the heaven-opening maelstrom of beauty scarcely captured by a live band.

From bourbon soaked ballads to evocative Godliness and anarchic elegance there has never been a show that has captured the golden thread of what makes Waits such a legend until now! BONE MACHINE are the crusading dark horses that keep the mysteries of life alive, offering an escape route and destination to anyone seeking liberation from the norm.

A night (day) out with BONE MACHINE will reinforce your belief in the songs of Tom Waits. From Martha to Downtown Train this band bring the heart, atmosphere and sweat to performances brimming with a ramshackle sophistication and honesty as well as the Waitsian monologues and funny anecdotes that Mr Waits is universally celebrated for. Ladies and gentlemen let us present… BONE MACHINE.
