Bio

Frankie Machine - Drums

Much to his mothers dismay, Frankie was born with a pair of drumsticks in his hand. He studied percussion with Chuck Layhee and Norm St.Peter in Massachusetts back in the day and has been kicking around Virginia since the early 70's.
Frankie lives aboard an old wooden boat on the Potomac River where he sleeps with one foot on the floor so he will wake up if water starts coming in. His big inspiration on drums is Billy Cobham when he was with the Mahvishnu Orchestra....
