Travels With Charlie: Kate Bradshaw at Dorchester County’s General Store

There’s a treasure among the homemade sweet potato biscuits and devil’s food cake at one Dorchester County, Maryland general store.Her name is Kate Bradshaw, and a few weeks ago she took home the top talent prize at the National Outdoor Show in Church Creek.

“I felt amazing,” Bradshaw said. “I felt amazing. The stage is where I’m most comfortable. I started playing out when I was about 13.”

The Bradshaws restarted the general store her grandmother ran years ago. They carry the basic necessities, and now, along with your homemade soup and applesauce cake, you can buy Kate’s CD.

The lunch you get a Bradshaw’s will last you until supper. The music? Well, that will last you forever.
