Formed in Minneapolis, Minn. in 2018, Steam Machine brought to the national stage a Midwest-influenced string band aesthetic that didn’t draw such hard lines between old-time and bluegrass. Smooth, powerful fiddling, driving three finger banjo, and front-of-the-beat rhythm combine to create a suspiciously entertaining sound. Members are AJ Srubras, Rina Rossi, and Reed Stutz.The visitor center near Asheville is a one-stop shop for all things Blue Ridge Parkway. Get a map, talk to a ranger, pick up some merchandise, learn about other area offerings, and explore parkway-themed exhibits. Hiking includes a short loop with access to the Mountains-to-Sea trail.
