A Southern Holiday Special with Edward Phillips: Blues, Jambalaya, and Santa Sightings

Send us Fan MailThe holidays settle over the South like a dusting of sugar on a warm pecan pie, sweet and just a little bittersweet, stirring memories of simpler times. In this special episode of Cornbread & Buttermilk, we’re taking you on a journey through the heart of a Southern holiday. Join us as we sit down with blues musician Edward Phillips, whose soulful melodies echo like wind through moss-draped oaks, steeped in the rich traditions of Low-Country cuisine and holiday revelry.Edward shares his cherished jambalaya recipe, a dish so full of spice and spirit it might just make you believe in Christmas miracles. We’ll talk about his latest album, his recovery from the flu, and the ways music weaves itself into the fabric of Southern life—much like the joy and mystery of a local Santa visit in small-town Aiken. It’s an episode wrapped in the warmth of storytelling, the rhythm of the blues, and the aroma of a Creole kitchen.American oil fields Velma’s Short intro  song.
