STEEL STRING SESSION RECIPE & ROMP

STEEL STRING SESSION



THE COUNTDOWN IS ON!!!

3 DAYS UNTIL THE START!!!




If you love bluegrass music The International Bluegrass Museum is hosting ROMP, its Annual Bluegrass Festival. June 23 to 25 in Owensboro, KY. There are some amazing and unique bands including The Carolina Chocolate Drops, coming from the Piedmont Region of North Carolina. They play in the old traditions, but are extremely talented, modern musicians.

And The Professors of Bluegrass. The members of this band will tell you when they are not playing Bluegrass they moonlight as Professors of Yale University. With the exception of their bass player Peter Salovey, who is the Provost at Yale. The band has been together for 20 years and they are returning again to play at ROMP. Peter told me if I ever did a cookbook on Connecticut, he would send me a recipe.


Speaking of bands, which have played previously at this event, one of my favorites was the Steel String Session. This GREAT band played last year and their fiddle player Lisa Jacobi sent me a recipe for the band to be included in my most recent cookbook “Country Goodness Recipes of Tennessee Celebrities.”

Steel String Session, Copperhill, is a dynamic group of acoustic multi-instrumentalists from Ocoee River region of the Blue Ridge Mountains. They play “Rockabilly-Jazz-Grass.” Lisa Jacobi said of her Bachelor Pasta recipe: “It is great when you work with a bunch of guys in a band or kayakers.” Her husband is Olympic Gold Medallist Joe Jacobi.

Don’t forget to Stop by and get a copy of either the
“Country Goodness Recipes of Tennessee Celebrities" or “Favorite Recipes of Kentucky Celebrities.”

WHY NOT GET BOTH! THE PROCEEDS FROM THE COOKBOOK SALES GO TO THE INTERNATIONAL BLUEGRASS MUSEUM AS A FUNDRAISER.
