Stroll through the Thursday market and then head over to Lost on Main for Mini Trees with Flume Street Station. It’s gonna be a vibe.

Mini Trees' lush, introspective indie pop/rock is the creation of California musician Lexi Vega. A native of Southern California, Vega began her music career as a drummer before endeavoring to write and record her own music. Using the alias Mini Trees, her first song, "Take It Back," appeared in July 2018, combining elements of angsty indie rock and melancholy bedroom pop. New material surfaced in the form of March 2024's Burn Out EP. Although still warm and introspective, it reflected an effort by Vega to achieve a more pop-oriented sound that was helped along by the addition of guests like Zac Rae (Deathcab for Cutie) and James McAlister (Sufjan Stevens, Ester Drang).

Rooted in rich harmonies and heartfelt songwriting, Flume St. Station is a three-piece folk-indie-americana group blending mandolin, guitar, and lap steel into a sound that's as timeless as it is fresh. As Chico natives and loved personalities in the community, they were all great friends before the band organically formed. Their on-stage chemistry radiates the joy and passion for life they each walk with, creating a welcoming and electric atmosphere wherever they play. With a mix of original tunes and handpicked classics from their favorite artists, their performances deliver a vibrant blend of soul, storytelling, and toe-tapping energy that leaves audiences smiling and buzzing with energy.
