Southern Culture on the Skids appears with Poi Rogers for an all ages show highlighting the band’s playful mix of rock and roll, surf, country, folk, rockabilly, and R&B. Rick Miller on guitar and vocals, Mary Huff on bass and vocals, and Dave Hartman on drums have been at it for decades, taking their music from North Carolina house parties to late night TV, international stops near Mt. Fuji, and even shows inside state correctional facilities. They have shared stages with artists such as Link Wray, Loretta Lynn, Hasil Adkins, and Patti Smith, and their songs have surfaced in movies, television, and advertising, even drawing a parody from Weird Al. Critics have praised the biting guitar work, irresistible rhythms, and party-ready spirit of their concerts, with outlets like Rolling Stone noting the unrestrained energy of their live set. Their latest full length, At Home with Southern Culture on the Skids, arrived in 2021 after being recorded while off the road, and features Run Baby Run, a burst of garage grit powered by Mary Huff’s urgent vocal.
