Listen to Watch the Shadows below:

Digital Tape Machine is a progressive electronic dance act that incorporates live music, making it the perfect post-Umphrey’s late-night. The group features Joe Hettinga, Bryan Doherty, Marcus Rezak, and Neal Wehman. These guys know how to show you a good time, and their musicianship is on point, making for one fantastic live experience. It is well known that Joel Cummins and Kris Myers of Umphrey’s McGee are good friends and have played with the band in the past. While nothing is confirmed, and we aren’t saying that they will even be there….but you never know what might happen during a Friday late-night party in New York City.

Cosby Sweater get things grooving with a livetronica sound. The group is a trio, comprised of David Embry on production and vocals, Nicholas Gerlach on tenor saxophone and EWI and Jeff Peterson on drums. The band has hit the road hard since their launch in 2012, sharing the stage with venerated acts like Pretty Lights, Umphrey’s McGee, Disco Biscuits, Lotus, The New Deal, Deltron 3030, to name a few. Add Joel Cummins in the mix, and you’re guaranteed to have a good time.
