BONE MACHINE play the music of TOM WAITS

Bone Machine is a band of touring and recording musicians who perform the songs of Tom Waits. This Leeds concert takes place at the Brudenell Social Club in Burley.

Bone Machine is a band of musicians who tour and record professionally, and their programme is made up of Tom Waits songs rather than original material. They are not Tom Waits and do not present themselves as his project; they are a separate group interpreting his work. The members are Jack Healy on vocals, Conor Brady on guitars, Julyo D'Agostino on bass, Des Harrington on drums and Dario Rodigherio on keys.

Each member has previously played before large audiences in other bands and with other artists, including The Blades, Camille O'Sullivan, Jerry Fish, Mary Coughlan, Toots and the Maytals and The Corrs. Julyo D'Agostino is a Grammy nominee. The band describes its approach as melancholic and punk-jazz in character, with slow, whiskey-tinged ballads alongside more raucous material. Songs cited in the band's own description include Martha and Downtown Train, and the performance includes the spoken monologues and anecdotes associated with Waits.

Brudenell Social Club is a concert and performance venue in Burley, Leeds. The evening will appeal to those who know Waits's catalogue and want to hear it played live by a full band, as well as to listeners who are new to his songs.
