Lone Piñon w/ Steam Machine at Cedar Cultural Center

Lone Piñon is a New Mexican string band, or “orquesta típica”, whose music celebrates the integrity and diversity of their region's cultural roots. With fiddles, upright bass, guitars, accordions, vihuela, and bilingual vocals, they play a wide spectrum of the traditional music that is at home in New Mexico.

Steam Machine is an old time bluegrass project fronted by award-winning Minneapolis fiddler AJ Srubas and Twin Cities old time music & dance instigator Rina Rossi on guitar. Two time Appalachian String Band Music Festival Traditional Band Contest ribbon winners and Folk Alliance Midwest Official Showcase Artists, this 'Twin Cities supergroup' brought to the national stage a midwest influenced string band aesthetic that didn't draw such hard lines between bluegrass and old time music.
