Pink Floyd built cathedrals out of sound — slow-burning, immaculate, theatrical — and faithfully recreating that takes more than a few cover-band guitarists who know the “Comfortably Numb” solo. On Saturday, June 20, The Machine brings the full Floyd experience to Penn’s Peak, the mountaintop room in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania.
About The Machine
The Machine has been doing this longer than most tribute acts have existed. Founded in 1988 in Rockland County, New York by drummer Tahrah Cohen and the late Joe Pascarell, the band helped pioneer the whole serious-tribute phenomenon — and nearly four decades on, Cohen still anchors the lineup from behind the kit. This isn’t a bar band knocking out the hits; it’s a full production, drawing across the Pink Floyd catalog with the elaborate lighting that Floyd’s own shows were known for.
Their reputation has carried them well beyond the club circuit. The Machine has played Bonnaroo and shared stages with full symphony orchestras, including the Atlanta, Detroit, and Pittsburgh symphonies. Pascarell died in 2022, but the band has continued, with longtime members carrying the catalog forward.
About Penn’s Peak
Penn’s Peak earns its name. The timber-frame venue sits on a mountaintop in Jim Thorpe with valley views stretching more than 50 miles, and it holds up to roughly 1,800 depending on the configuration. The on-site Roadies Restaurant and Bar handles food and drinks before the music starts, and its deck is the place to take in that view. It’s a destination drive from just about anywhere — so budget the time, get there early, and grab a table before the room fills in.
