13th Annual

Breakin' Up Winter

March 7-9, 2008

Were you with there?

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.

  • Roots of Old-Time Music presentations by
    • James and Rachel Bryan
    • Evan Hatch
    • Gerry Milnes
    • Jeff Todd Titon
  • Jams with the guest performers -
  • Charlie Acuff was back with us and was awarded the 1st Annual Heritage Award
  • Cylinder recording sessions
  • Slow jams
  • Silent Auction
  • Contra dance conducted by Susan Kevra
  • 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.)
