Get ready for some hard-driving string band music! We are so excited to welcome Steam Machine to the 2026 Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival lineup!
Steam Machine masterfully bridges the gap between traditional old-time and early bluegrass, bringing a powerful energy to the stage that practically demands you get up and dance.
To give you a taste of what they do best, check out their performance of "Dailey's Reel" below. This beautiful tune, in our opinion, is not played nearly enough - maybe because it is a real finger-twister in the key of Bb! You can literally see award-winning fiddler AJ Srubas' pinky-finger workout happening on the fretboard.
Watch them tackle this B-flat twister here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az1yKlxrTEA&list=RDAz1yKlxrTEA&start_radio=1
Join us: Labor Day Weekend (September 4–6, 2026)
Location: Salem County Fairgrounds, Woodstown, NJ
