Welcome to Ipswich CMC Rocks!
It’s CMC Rocks next month when 20,000+ country music fans come to Ipswich for the best round-up of country music anywhere right now.
In honour of the stellar line-up of musicians and the fans in town for CMC Rocks – along with the good folk making this annual sold-out blockbuster happen – we’ve put together a handy list of breakfast options and matched each one with a song by a CMC Rocks artist. Welcome to town y’all!
Phat Boyz Smoke House and Kitchen
The breakfast: Smoked Honey Fried Chicken Waffle at Phat Boyz Smoke House and Kitchen.
The song: Chicken Fried Zac Brown Band (USA). Because you can get fried chicken for breakfast!
Dancing Bean Specialty Roasters
The breakfast: It’s all about the coffee here at Dancing Bean Specialty Roasters. So we would be pairing the Old Sea Dog, coffee and American Whisky infusion – made on beans freshly roasted out the back in this converted warehouse, with anything from the menu. Or maybe a sweet treat from the cabinet.
The song: Whiskey Glasses Song by Morgan Wallen (USA), we’ll have one more whiskey coffee thanks!
Rafter & Rose
The breakfast: The waffles with bacon at Rafter & Rose.
The song: Sugar by ERNEST (USA). Because it’s oh so sweet!
Elderflower Cafe
The breakfast: The poached eggs with bacon and avocado are fantastic at Elderflower Cafe.
The song: My Kinda Livin’ HARDY (USA). Eggs, bacon and avo really are my kinda livin’!
Fourthchild Cafe, Bar and Restaurant
The breakfast: Breakfast boards from Fourthchild are kinda epic.
The song: Don’t Make me Choose by Mitchell Tenpenny (USA). Take your pick of what you want – you don’t have to choose!
St Shoebill
The breakfast: Chorizo chilli scrambled. This spicy combo includes chorizo, red pepper, chutney, labneh and sourdough.
The song: Bailey Zimmerman (USA) House on Fire. Cause this dish is spicy, it burns in all the right ways.
Queens Park Cafe
The breakfast: Queens Park Cafe signature breakfast, with two eggs (poached, fried or scrambled), bacon, tomato, sausage, hash brown, mushroom and spinach on sourdough.
The song: Heart’s Desire Kip Moore (USA). Because my heart desires eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns mmm.
Homage
The breakfast: Grazing by the pool at Homage restaurant at Spicers Hidden Vale.
The song: More than perfect by Brittney Spencer (USA). Because the idea of lingering by that lovely pool and maybe booking one of those hillside heritage cottages, is more than perfect…
