Favorite southern food:
Naturally fried chicken, collards, grits and a biscuit, but if we are out of that, gold fish or animal crackers will be just fine. Note: I won our neighborhood watermelon eating contest on the 4th of July (5th place is the new 1st).

Favorite thing about Memphis:
I’ve only made my way to Memphis a few times. One of the most memorable things about Memphis is its simple authenticity. From Beale Street to The Peabody to Graceland, Memphis is never trying to be something it’s not. That said, my favorite thing about Memphis is its musical history. I love the blues and in turn rock n roll. Without the music that came (and comes) from Memphis those artists and songs that define those genres may have been completely different or may have never been at all.

Now would ya look at that:

• Vintage sunglasses, bow tie, and belt, handed down from his father.
• Custom blazer from Libo’s in Burlington, North Carolina.
• Ralph Lauren shirt and seersucker pants.
• Cole Haan loafers.

Favorite thing about the south:
Everything about east Tennessee including the Smoky Mountains, sweet tea, and Dolly Parton. I fell in love with the south after spending summers working at Dollywood. One of the best life lessons was learned that summer upon meeting Dolly. I told her I didn’t know how to act around her, and she said “why do we have to act? Why can’t we just be ourselves?”

Favorite thing about summer in the south:
Porch time. Summer is my busiest time at work, so when I get home all I want to do is sit on our front porch with a cold beverage, feet up, fan on, and watch the sunset.

Favorite southern music event:
Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tennessee.

• Her reason why: We go every year, and camp in a tent and everything. Most people prefer summer vacations at the beach. We prefer watching amazing performances with 80,000 of our closest friends, while sweating in a tent. Best performance I’ve seen from there? It’s a tie between My Morning Jacket from 2011 or Rodrigo y Gabriela or Radiohead from this year.
• His reason why: In the five years I’ve been beginning in 2004, I’ve witnessed some of the best performances of my life, from heavyweights like Widespread Panic to Radiohead to up-and-comers like Rodrigo y Gabriella. However, the most vivid memories each year are from the festival-goers themselves.

Now would ya look at that:
Meet Travis and Sudie, getting married in December in Shellman’s Bluff! We spent a day frolicking around Atlanta last week and made some fun photos (see here).

On Him: Land’s End Canvas OCBD and shorts; Timex Andros watch with NATO strap courtesy of J. Parker Ltd. in Savannah; favorite pair of beat-up Topsiders.
