Age Against the Machine

Established in 2021, we are a five piece party band. We play music that people love to boogie to. If you want to let loose and have a great time, Age Against the Machine is your choice. Here are two recent customer testimonials:

"Age Against the Machine sets the tone for a wonderful community-building event and successful fundraiser. Their dynamic choice in music, exquisite talent, and ability to read the room all came together to warm our guests up and lead them to the dance floor. We hope that they will return year after year to partner with us in raising funds to serve our community."
Gabrielle Semel
Founder & CEO, Pawling Yoga & Wellness

"Age Against the Machine played at our Harvest Dinner this year, with nearly 200 guests and everyone enjoyed them being there. They "read the room" and played music that our guests loved. They were fun to watch and seemed to enjoy playing together. Thanks to Chris Hackett and his band for a terrific evening!"

Our musicians play keyboards, guitars, flute, mandolin and all manner of drums and percussion. We have an excellent lead vocalist and everyone in the band sings. We play both electric and acoustic sets (driven by what the host wants) and have a full array of equipment to play venues ranging from living rooms to large banquet halls.

We typically bring a sound engineer to our performances to make sure the vocals are prominent and the volume is appropriate. We also have audience engagement personnel working to ensure people are dancing and having a great time - they also hand-out party favors, e.g., leis, sunglasses, etc. Our apparel is driven by what the host requests, ranging from blue jeans and Birkenstocks to formal wear.

Our typical set lists cover rock, pop and disco from the 1970s, 80s and 90s as well as contemporary hits. We can play anything - have a special request or set list in mind, we can do it.

We own sound equipment and lighting systems suitable for venues from living rooms to large banquet halls.
