David Orr Band and Go Machine
Blues | Funk | Jazz | R&B | Dance | Original Music

Serendipitous doesn’t even begin to describe the feeling Go-Machine had when they played their rst notes together in Austin, TX during October of 2021. Stars aligned to bring guitarist/frontman Dave Orr from Brisbane, Australia to Austin in 2020. Worlds collided when he found drummer Marshall Kummer, who had transplanted from Europe via Boston, MA. Finally, after moving from Minneapolis, MN, bassist Ry Dill unwittingly stumbled into the pair during his rst week in Austin. Three unlikely amigos from three dierent hemispheres, they soon found themselves in a rehearsal space in South Austin. As they began to generate a slew of inspiring new songs, it quickly became apparent to all three members that they had tapped into something greater than the sum of its parts. The trio spent the next two years playing hundreds of gigs in Austin, Houston, and the south/central Texas area, performing at venues like the Continental Club, the Gallery, C-Boy’s, the Saxon Pub, and ABGB. As they gained visibility, they began to draw the attention of some of Austin’s nest musicians. In line with the twists of fate that brought them together, they added two more pieces: saxophonist Matt Maldonado, and keyboardist Marcell Coleman. Since then, the quintet has been polishing their sound both on stage and in the studio. They’ve been hard at work at the legendary Bud’s Recording Services, capturing the adventurous and energetic performances they have become known for. After releasing their debut single “Going Nowhere”, the group continues to perform and record. With plans to release a complete EP in the spring of 2025, they are looking forward to expanding beyond their local market in the coming year.
