17th Annual

Breakin' Up Winter

March 1-4, 2012

We're going to have a fantastic time at our annual music retreat at beautiful Cedars of Lebanon State Park outside Nashville, Tennessee, a gathering of old-time music lovers from around the country who came to learn, jam, dance, sing, hike, eat, and just sit round talking about the music we all love.

The weekend will be full of music, food, friends, and our annual Roots of Old-Time Music presentations.

Presenters and performers scheduled include:

     
    • Lester McCumbers
    • Alice Gerrard
    • Dan Gellert
    • Wayne Daniel
    • Roby Cogswell
    • The Georgia Crackers
    Breaking Up Winter is supported in part by


We do this every year, usually the first full weekend of March. Attendees commune with nature in this beautiful park and they commune with fellow old-timers in a weekend filled with activities to keep fingers flying and toes tapping.

  • Jams with the guest performers
  • Presentation of our annual Heritage Award
  • Cylinder recording sessions
  • Slow jams
  • John Hatton's immense collection of hard-to-find old-time music CDs
  • Jamming, jamming, and more jamming
  • And great food from our caterer, The Mad Platter.
