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
