Southern Culture On The Skids have been tearing up stages and redefining roots rock since 1983. The Chapel Hill trio—Rick Miller (guitar/vocals), Mary Huff (bass/vocals), and Dave Hartman (drums) - have built a global following with their wild, genre-blending sound, moving effortlessly between rockabilly, surf, country, R&B, and garage rock, all delivered with a signature sense of humor and swagger. From North Carolina house parties to late-night TV appearances and international tours, they’ve shared stages with legends like Link Wray, Loretta Lynn, and Patti Smith, earning a reputation for their electrifying, anything-goes live shows - what Rolling Stone once called “a hell-raising rock and roll party.”
Their 2021 album At Home with Southern Culture On The Skids captures that same offbeat spirit in a more intimate setting, recorded largely in Rick Miller’s living room during the pandemic. Blending fuzzed-out rockers like “Run Baby Run” with their signature “wobbly Americana” mix of styles, the record proves the band’s creativity and energy never slow down. Equal parts gritty, playful, and musically sharp, Southern Culture On The Skids remain one of the most distinctive and enduring acts in American roots music.
