14th Annual

Breakin' Up Winter

March 6-8, 2009

This is our fantastic 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 come to learn, jam, dance, sing, hike, eat, and just sit round talking about the music we all love.

    • Franklin George
    • Bruce Greene

    • Roby Cogswell
    • Martin Fisher
    • Mike Baugh
    • Bob Townsend
    • The Tune Dogs - aka John Kelley, Jan Smith, and Scott Russell
    • Joyce and Jim Cauthen

Attendees communed with nature in this beautiful park and communed with fellow old-timers in a weekend filled with activities to keep fingers flying and toes tapping.

    • Jams with the guest performers
    • Clyde Davenport received our annual Heritage Award
    • Cylinder recording sessions
    • Slow jams
    • Silent Auction
    • 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, returning for an encore after providing some great grub last year. (It's not your ordinary grub, for sure.)
