Elf Machine ft. Mike Healy of Papadosio w/ 3420

Elf Machine brings together three standout musicians for a live electronic experience built on improvisation and groove. Led by Mike Healy, best known as the rhythmic backbone of the jam-band Papadosio, the trio explores the intersection of organic live drumming and immersive electronic textures.

Joining Healy are two of Asheville’s most exciting talents: bassist Asher Hill and guitar virtuoso Isaac Hadden. Together they create improv-heavy sets that weave through funk, jazz-fusion, and late-night dance music, building layered soundscapes that evolve in real time.

Because so much of the music is created in the moment, every Elf Machine performance is unique, shaped by the crowd, the energy, and wherever the groove decides to go.
