After the death of any great leader, there follows a time of struggle, confusion and unstablity. The worst part is when it's a leader so loving and so kind, that you are filled with a horrible sense of grief. Such a time is when real courage and commitment can triumph; it's a time a new era will arise. As we look forward at what's to come, we look back, reminiscing about our beloved Alexander.
Alexander Spycher was the most amazing man that I had the privilage of knowing. His selflessness and generosity showed in everything he did. His undying passion for music showed in his love for teaching music to kids. He was dedicated to hosting benefit concerts each year, as well as donating portions of our gig money to entreprenuers around the world through KIVA. He had a visionary concept of how the Green Machine was going to make the world a better place; his ambitions knew no end. We had plans to travel to Cambodia, Romania, and even Africa, putting on concerts to change the world. We will always remember the genuine, great leader that Alexander was. This journey hasn't been easy, but it has been well worth it. His dreams became our dreams, and we are determined to make those dreams a reality.
This Friday evening, August 20th, you can catch a live show of the Green Machine at Gresham Main Street Park. Join us for this free family-friendly movie night put on by Pictures in the Park. http://www.picturesinthepark.us/
Our next performance after that is September 25th, in Lincoln City, Oregon. This is our first time to the coast and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to play for this beach side concert. This free public event is put on by the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau as a Summer sendoff.

As we draw near to the end of the Summer, this is a perfect way to go out and have one last picnic in the park. We hope to see you there.

After months of patience and hard work we have got our new demo ready to send out. Many thanks go to Kenny MacDaniels, our Green Machine recording technician. You can check out our new songs at www.myspace.com/greenmachinejazz. This is the beginning of a new era for the Green Machine, and it is thanks to all of our fans for believing in us, and encouraging us to move forward. Our events coming up include a dinner banquet in Eugene, Mr. Sandel's extravagant Summer Swing party, a wedding reception, and a Carver school event. We will also have some public events coming up so that you can see us perform. More information will be coming soon.
