Steam Machine at BRP Visitor Center
Milepost Music presents Steam Machine
Sunday, July 28, 2-4 p.m.
BRP Visitor Center Asheville
Steam Machine brings to the national stage a Midwest-influenced string band aesthetic that doesn’t draw hard lines between old-time and bluegrass. Formed in Minnesota in 2018 by members AJ Srubras and Rina Rossi, Steam Machine combines powerful fiddling, driving three finger banjo, and front-of-the-beat rhythm to create a suspiciously entertaining sound.
While not purists, Steam Machine does listen closely to the “old stuff” and strives to capture the essence of what makes these tunes and songs special. The project continues to be an evolving vehicle for playing music they love and honoring the brilliance left behind by musical heroes like Lyman Enloe, Cyril Stinnett, and more. Steam Machine aspires to keep old-time and bluegrass music alive and well wherever they go.
