Nature Machine
     
 Nature Machine features a core of musicians Jim: guitar & vocals, Anna: vocals and percussion, and Liz: piano,  and  Dan: bass. A mellow  ensemble based on the outskirts of Boston, their music draws on Minimalism, AM Pop, Psychedelia, Folk Revival, American Country & Blues, Surf, Classic Rock, Shoegaze, Post Punk, American Songbook.  Coming of age musically in 1970's and 80's, a golden age of radio, guitar based rock, cassette 4 tracking, and DIY bands in close proximity to a thriving and accessible Boston club scene, our songwriter, the fun loving and motivated Jim started writing, recording, and performing music. This evolved into performing in Boston's clubs with various bands in in the late 80's and 90's, most notably with his sentimental AM radio inspired band buttercupAfter the band's wind-down in the twilight of the 90's, the 2000's saw Jim performing sporadically while continuing to write songs, these are the songs of Nature Machine. They invoke history, fun, recovery, futurism, grief, hope, family, the metaverse, and more! Jim works mainly in his home studio and performs as much as he can under the title of Nature Machine. Sometimes buttercup will play a show, he also plays in pub rock band Double Down with Baker.
