** ABOUT THE RECORD MACHINE **

The Record Machine is a homegrown, pioneering independent record label based in Kansas City, MO. We originally established the label to promote and release music from our hometown, but, as time went on, we began releasing records from all across the country. We aim to work with a diverse group of musicians who are hardworking, dedicated, and stand-out on their own accord. Our catalogue is an eclectic mix; we are proud that we don’t fit into any single genre and that there is a unifying, uplifting quality to our releases. We hope to nurture those musicians and connect them with a wider audience. Tim Finn of The Kansas City Star remarked about The Record Machine’s output "[They] have assembled a stable of diverse artists who are making music that deserves national attention."
