It’s CMC Rocks this March 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!

 Rafter & Rose

Rafter and Rose waffles

The breakfast: Waffles at Rafter & Rose.  It has pretty edible flowers, ice cream and berries.

The song: Get Me Some of That Thomas Rhett (USA).  Thomas Rhett may not be singing about Breakfast – but waffles, ice cream and syrup is one of our favourite flavour combos – get some of that!

Elderflower Cafe

The breakfast: Savoury mince with poached eggs and salsa at Elderflower Cafe.

The song: That’s Texas by Cody Johnson (USA), because we think this eggs with salsa and mince is a little bit Tex Mex and we’re here for it!

Queens Park Cafe

The breakfast: Queens Park Cafe Avo smash with fetta, lemon, dukkah and balsamic reduction

The song: Tequila Little Lime by Jon Pardi (USA) – well beside the fact this dish is salty and tangy in all the right ways we’d also like to kill a little time with it sitting on the Queens Park verandah.

Summer Land Camels

Two for one breakfast is available at Summer Land Camels on Valentine's Day

The breakfast: Sunrise waffles with camel milk gelato at Summer Land Camels

The song: Drunkaby by Cole Swindell (USA). Well he’s listing a whole lot of things that taste nice including Apple Pie – so we reckon he’s got a bit of a sweet tooth.

Ellen and Rod

Loaded scramble at Ellen and Rod

The breakfast: Loaded scramble with bacon, tomato, Spanish onion and cheese – served on a toasted croissant.

The song: Tastes Like Ashely Cooke (USA).  Because it’s tastes like you’ll be coming back for more!

St Shoebill

St Shoebill eggs Benny!

The breakfast: Eggs Benny with avocado at St Shoebill Cafe.

The song: Hungover in a Deer Stand Dylan Marlowe (USA) because you’ll need something to help with that hangover and eggs Benny is just the thing!

Chai House

The legendary Chai House brekkie board!

The breakfast: There’s something great about an all day breakfast and this breakfast board from Chai House is one of them! It has avocado, tomato, bacon, poached eggs and more!

The song: Good Things by Kaylee Bell (NZ/AUS) – we’re ready for this good thing to come our way!

Monte Lane

Croissants and coffee are now available at Monte Lane 7 mornings a week. PHOTO: Monte Lane Facebook

The breakfast: Monte Lane is now offering coffee and pastries from 6.30am in the mornings. 

The song: Breakup over breakfast by Avery Anna (USA). Because if you have to breakup over breakfast at least let it be something tasty like an almond croissant!
