15th Annual

Breakin' Up Winter

March 4-7, 2010

Join us for this 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.

If you haven't received a flyer by mail or email, you can find it here.

The flyer contains details, dates, and the very important registration form.

The weekend is highlighted by great food, friends, jamming, and our annual Roots of Old-Time Music presentations.

Presenters and performers scheduled include:

     
  • Alan Jabbour
  • Paul Smith
  • Bobby Taylor
  • Andy Cohen
  • John Harrod
  • Martin Fisher

* Charlie Acuff was scheduled to attend, but will not because of health. Lester McCumbers was scheduled to attend, but will not because of health of a family member.


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
  • 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.)
