Welcome back to the Chamberland Ranch for al fresco gourmet backyard cuisine, elevated barbeque, and an outdoor concert by Travis Meadows! The Chamberlands' 70 acres, dotted with wildflowers, wild roses, and raspberries interspersed throughout the hay meadows, are pure pastoral heaven. Ribboned with the winding Slate River, the property boasts three-quarters of a mile of soothing and therapeutic riverfront – the shining jewel of the land. Black bear, moose, and fox additionally claim this as their home, while cow elk move their calves between meadow and river in the spring. Unrestrained views of Paradise Divide, Crested Butte Mountain, and Teocali stretch in every imaginable direction.
VIP guests dine beneath Mt. Whetstone’s alpenglow with concoctions prepared by Texas legend Chef Kent Rathbun, flaunting an eclectic and distinctive character sharpened on the global influences of Southwestern, Mediterranean, American, Cajun / Creole, and the Pacific Rim cuisines. This signature blend of flavors became the foundation of his first restaurant, Abacus (Dallas, Texas), a five-star pinnacle of fine dining, receiving Mobil Four-Stars, AAA Four Diamonds, and Bon Appetit’s “Best of the Year.”
Chef Kent then opened Jasper’s (Plano, Texas) with a home cooking flair featuring a modern outdoors theme on steaks, fish, rotisserie chicken and beyond. Jasper’s was named one of Esquire Magazine’s “Top 20 Best New Restaurants in America.” Chef Kent is a four-time James Beard Foundation “Best Chef” nominee, appeared on the Food Network’s “Chef du Jour,” and was a competitor on “Iron Chef America.” His catering services have drawn the attention of Oprah Winfrey, Presidential Inaugural Balls, and the “Taste of the NFL.”
Serenades from hostess Missy Chamberland herself, along with local musicians Evelyn Roper, Chris Coady, and Bill Dowell, warm up the crowd for the Travis Meadows concert. Nashville’s underground musician is a true artist and unforgettable performer, raising chills with his raspy-voiced storytelling and heartrending confessionals. Originally from Mississippi, the rawness of his words and vocals rise up from a deep well of honesty, chiseled through pain and loss, death and rebirth, from battles with cancer, alcohol, drugs, and conversations with God and demons. His songs have been recorded by musicians from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Hank Williams Jr. and Wynonna Judd. Rolling Stone Country exclaims of Travis, “Nashville’s most badass songwriter … has penned some of country’s most stinging songs.”
This will be an evening for the memory books.
