Press

"During their tenure, The Heart Machine has worked up nearly 50 songs, which fully embrace a rootsy, midtempo indie pop rock that’s aptly pleasing for a wide range of audiences. The trio has played numerous festivals (Indie Underground Railroad Live Originals; the “Blackbird” Beatles’ tribute for WSLR radio; various Rosemary Rising events and The Harvey Milk Festival, for instance) and continues to perform regularly at regional hot spots while saving funds to record its debut album (tentatively titled “Love Is Home”) by the end of 2012."

— Dawn Scire, Sarasota Herald-Tribune

"One of the best fucking indie bands out here. You guys have developed a following here in Philadelphia now. Come up to Philly someday soon!"

— Max Theguitarman, Deuteronomy

“I first saw the Heart Machine at the Red Panty Press stage at last year´s Harvey Milk Festival. I was immediately drawn to Michael´s soulful style, and since he´s been playing with bassist Peter Wolf and drummer Russell Sharp, the trio has just grown tighter and tighter.”

— Steve McAllister, Sarasota Music Scene

"In just their second year as a band, The Heart Machine have started to move up the charts in the Sarasota music scene with their catchy, mellowed out songs that really hit the heart. Their sound stems straight from songwriter Michal Miller (guitar/vocals), with Peter Wolfe (bass) and Russell Sharp (drums) keeping a strong foundation in their heart-felt songs. Catch The Heart Machine preforming this Saturday Nov. 12, 2011 in the Sarasota Naturally Music Show."

— Luke Reynolds, Sarasota Herald-Tribune

“Saturday May 8, 2010: Michael Miller & The Heart Machine at Felice's Cafe. Stopping in at Pastry Arts Cafe last night on Main Street, in downtown Sarasota, I enjoyed listening to Michael Miller, a local up-and-coming rock/indie singer/songwriter, whose band, The Heart Machine, is the headliner tonight, Saturday, May 8th, from 8 - 11PM, at Felice's (formerly Sarasota Olive Oil Company), 500 Central Avenue, at 5th Street, in the Rosemary District. Miller's earnest and capable delivery of covers and originals, in a duo performance with his bass player, drew a full house that stayed around to hear more. If you're looking to change it up a bit tonight, several blocks away from the madding crowd, check out Michael Miller & The Heart Machine at Felice's. No cover, smoke-free, casual atmosphere.”

— Susan James, Best Music Tonight
