Artist Bio

Boy Eats Drum Machine is Portland native, Jon Ragel, a special breed of multi-disciplined solo artist. He takes the stage with a saxophone, turntable, microphone, sampler, and green tom tom drum. Ragel's clear voice sails over his expert jams, often causing show goers to dance, sway, and otherwise become transfixed.
