The New Weather Machine

Hailing from the prairies of southern Alberta, Canada, The New Weather Machine is a four-piece rock/progressive/alternative band. Led by singer, songwriter, and lead guitar player Jon Martin, the band combines forwarding looking progressive and art-rock elements with contemporary songwriting sensibilities to explore what is exciting about guitar-based music and the possibilities afforded by the modern studio.

The band was formed as Jon’s studio project in 2008, and following the release of their self-titled debut album in 2009, they performed extensively across western Canada. They released the November ’09 Basement Demos EP in 2009, and the November Basement Demos 2010 EP in 2010. The band went on a two-year hiatus in 2015 while Jon studied the connection between timbre, emotion, and affective response, completing his Master of Music degree in 2017. The long-awaited sophomore album, Seas of Dawn, will be released September 15th, 2017 and features legendary studio drummer Kenny Aronoff.
