Celebrate 23 Years Of The Machine Shop

The Machine Shop in Flint, Michigan will celebrate its 23rd anniversary in March 2025.

23 years of the greatest concert venue ever. From rock bands to country acts, national bands to local bands, and don't forget about comedy nights - The Machine Shop has it all.

To mark this momentous occasion, I will once again be putting together Machine Shop fan photo galleries. This is your time to shine - I want to see photos from your favorite shows.

Dig deep into your photo archives and submit a picture of you, your friends, or a picture of you with a band at The Machine Shop. You can see some examples in the gallery below.

When submitting a photo, please include your name and the names of people pictured with you. If you recall the date and what concert the picture was taken, please include that too.

You can submit your photos as follows,

I am not looking for pictures of bands on stage. The Machine Shop's in-house photographer Jeff Mintline of Minty Pics takes care of that. You can see his awesome photos from the past 23 years here.

The first fan photo gallery will be posted on Friday, February 28th, 2025. New fan photo galleries will be added every Friday thereafter throughout March.

The final Machine Shop fan photo gallery will be posted on Friday, March 28th, 2025. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, March 26th, 2025.

Congrats to Kevin Zink, Johanna Hoelzle, and the entire Machine Shop crew! Here's to many more years of the world-famous Machine Shop!
