Upcoming Events

Steam Machine

at Hovland Town Hall

May 2 | 7pm 

Event Description

Steam Machine is a Midwest-based old-time and bluegrass group rooted in the rich fiddle traditions of the region and beyond. Led by award-winning fiddler AJ Srubas and guitarist Rina Rossi, the band brings together a rotating cast of standout musicians, creating a sound that is both deeply traditional and vibrantly alive.

With a shared love of dance music at its core, Steam Machine plays tunes the way they were meant to be experienced—full of rhythm, lift, and connection. Their performances carry an infectious energy, blending careful attention to the “old stuff” with a fresh, spirited approach that invites both listening and movement.

This event will be a community dance with a caller, welcoming dancers of all experience levels—no experience necessary.

Recognized at Clifftop and as Folk Alliance Midwest Official Showcase Artists, Steam Machine has toured widely, bringing people together through music that feels rooted, joyful, and alive in the present.
