The Resurrectionists celebrate the dark depths of American roots music with a feel-good, righteous rock fervor.

Refined over the course of countless gigs in and around Boston, the 4-piece band's performances combine driving rhythms and hellbent showmanship with a twilit vocal tour of family and faith, booze and the blues.

In 2008, the band secured its foothold in the thriving Boston roots scene, releasing the self-recorded album "Here Hope Flows...Like Blood From the Nose"and launching a quarterly musical series, "the Dark Holler Stomp and Musical Revue," dedicated to pushing the boundaries of American roots. Headlining slots on local roots bills followed in addition to supporting gigs with national acts like Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Rev. Peyton's Big Damned Band, Trampled by Turtles, The Devil Makes Three, Red Elvises, and Scott H. Biram.

Some people dubbed a radio they had been bringing to the beach for many years "Sand Machine" because it was filled with sand, yet it still worked. Inspired by its persistence and dedication to music, they named their band after it. That is the creation myth of Sand Machine.
Since then the band has busied itself with creating infective melody lines and harmony arrangements reminiscent of the British invasion overlaying bucolic American roots rock. Encompassing social commentary, story-telling, emotional revelation, and a touch of wry, Sand Machine purports to be both the forest and the trees. Besides playing consistently in Boston and other parts of New England, they also play NYC, Pittsburgh, Nashville, etc.
