Hope Machine was born at a Woody Guthrie Foundation & Archives event in 2003. They've evolved into a rabble-rousing, foot-stomping, Americanaband, writing and performing songs about what's wrong in the world and how to change it. From Irving Plaza in New York City to rallies and peace events all over the country, they've spread their message of hope. This will be their seventh annual year-end hootenanny, where they invite friends to come play with the band for the night to ring in the new year, in a true celebration of community.
