SUMMARY:Southern Culture on the Skids at 3S Artspace
DESCRIPTION:Southern Culture on the Skids\nSunday\, May 17\nDoors 7pm / Show 8pm\nAll ages / Partially Seated \nGeneral Admission Standing Advance $25 / Day of Show $30\nGeneral Admission Seat Advance $30 / Day of Show $35\nMember pricing: GA Standing $22 / Seat $27 \nSouthern Culture On The Skids has been consistently recording and touring around the world since 1983. The band (Rick Miller – guitar and vocals\, Mary Huff – bass and vocals\, Dave Hartman – drums) has been playing together for over 30 years. Their musical journey has taken them from all-night North Carolina house parties to late night TV talk shows (Conan O’Brien\, The Tonight Show)\, from performing at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan to rockin’ out for the inmates at North Carolina correctional facilities. They’ve shared a stage with many musical luminaries including Link Wray\, Loretta Lynn\, Hasil Adkins and Patti Smith. Their music has been featured in movies and TV\, parodied by Weird Al\, and used to sell everything from diamonds to pork sausage. In 2014 the band was honored by the Southern Folklife Collection at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill with an exhibition featuring their music and cultural contributions. Their legendary live shows are a testament to the therapeutic powers of foot-stomping\, butt-shaking rock and roll and what Rolling Stone dubbed “a hell raising rock and roll party.” \nAt Home with Southern Culture on the Skids is the latest full length album from the band and was released in March of 2021. It was recorded during the stay at home period of the pandemic when the band was at home and not touring. The album consists of 11 tracks recorded and mixed in Rick Miller’s living room with some additional tracks recorded at his studio\, The Kudzu Ranch. \nThe first radio single off the album is “Run Baby Run”—a rocking number with deep garage roots. SCOTS bassist Mary Huff provides an urgent vocal while the band pulls back the throttle on a full race fuzz fest—cause she’s gotta to go fast! Run Baby Run! \nThe other songs on the album are a combination of the band’s unique mix of musical genres: rock and roll\, surf\, folk and country—all a bit off-center\, what Rick proudly calls “our wobbly Americana”. Rick goes on\, “We put a few more acoustic guitars on this one\, as you would expect if you recorded in your living room\, but it still rocks like SCOTS. So put your headphones on\, get in your favorite chair/sofa/recliner\, put on “At Home With” and let’s hang out for a while.” \nGuitar riffs as lumpy as a camel\, rough as a jackhammer or smooth and bright as Tennessee sippin’ whiskey\, all slung loose and loud over salacious beats – No Depression \nFor over thirty years\, Southern Culture On The Skids have played an eclectic range of Americana including rockabilly\, surf rock\, country and R&B\, with a punk edge and heaps of humor. They are known for their legendary live shows and wacky antics…But it’s more than just great fun; they are fantastic musicians to boot. – Elmore Magazine \nThis Chapel Hill-based trio is flat-out amazing. Without resorting to needless flash or attention-hungry showboating\, Miller in particular is one of the most spectacularly gifted guitar players I’ve ever seen. He juggles a lot of styles – country\, garage rock\, surf\, rockabilly and soul to name just a few. – Stomp & Stammer
