On June 6, 2009, the Paint Branch Ramblers will bring their special blend of old time, bluegrass, and jug music to the National Harbor to kick off the 2nd Annual Food & Wine Festival.
We promise you’ll get your fill of songs about eating and drinking, and songs about sailors who eat and drink. And we promise you the return of our of our prodigal rambling boy from Milwaukee, Ryan Jerving, who is currently trying to figure out the best way to bring a jug, washboard, and washtub bass through carry-on.
The National Harbor is located in Oxon Hill, Maryland, just a water taxi ride across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. The festival runs both Saturday and Sunday, June 6 & 7, and, according to the event’s web site, “celebrates the chefs’ use of local, fresh and responsibly sourced ingredients from both land and sea, which inspire their creativity and protect the environment.”
