The members of Ghost In The Machine have been playing together for 5 years. A year ago they decided to build their Police and Sting repertoire into a complete Police/Sting tribute show. The difference and edge for Ghost In The Machine is that as a musical tribute, with a full line-up, they are able to reproduce Sting’s recordings and live shows more accurately than the typical tribute which sticks to the 3 piece complement of the original Police.  And of course,  lead singer Michael Bradley sounds just like Sting. Ghost In The Machine performs all the popular Police hits, as well as many of Sting’s more recent hits, which results in a show that appeals to a very wide age group.  Whether it’s and intimate club like Cozy’s, Club Aura, or Paladino’s---or a concert setting like their recent Starlight Bowl show with the Gin Blossoms----Ghost In The Machine delivers a great performance and is an audience favorite!
