Secret Machines in Marfa

January 2, 2014

We were saddened to learn of Benjamin Curtis’ death on 29 December 2013. He was 35.

Benjamin and his band the Secret Machines played the 2002 Chinati Open House and, as Buck Johnston explains, “became the unofficial Chinati House Band playing a couple more years. Marfa is now a music destination and it is in no small part because of the Secret Machines.
