The Machine Performs Pink Floyd: Unplugged
About This Event
The Machine Performs Pink Floyd: Unplugged at City Winery NYC offers a focused program from one of the oldest U.S. Pink Floyd tribute bands. Formed in 1988 by Tahrah Cohen and Joe Pascarell, The Machine has performed many shows around the world and presents its decades-long engagement with Floyd’s repertoire under the "Unplugged" billing.
About Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd’s catalog helped define the album as a narrative form, moving from mid‑1960s psychedelic experiment to the longer arcs of progressive rock that later filled arenas. In New York, their work has long traveled through radio, record shops, and generations of tribute bands, becoming part of the city’s shared listening history even when the original group isn’t on the bill. At Sony Hall, The Machine performs a set drawn from that repertoire, with VIP and general admission seating and table‑service minimums; the room’s theatrical scale suits music built for immersion rather than singles. One quiet truth remains: the songs endure because they make space for doubt and distance, not just volume.
