Description
Southern 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.”
Poi Rogers
Hailing from Santa Cruz, CA, Poi Rogers performs award winning American roots music, with Gerard Egan doubling on acoustic and steel guitar and Carolyn Sills on bass. Known for their dynamic musicianship and clever lyrics, the two create a wildly unique sound, with elements of western and gypsy swing, Americana, Hawaiian steel guitar and vivid storytelling.
Carolyn & Gerard won the 2018 and 2024 Ameripolitan Award for Western Swing Group (as ‘The Carolyn Sills Combo’), and Carolyn was nominated alongside Sierra Ferrell, Brennen Leigh and Melissa Carper for the 2023 Western Swing Female award. They performed at the 2024 Monterey Jazz Festival and are both Sacramento Western Swing Hall of Fame inductees. Poi Rogers’ second album, Whirligig, was released in May of 2026. www.poirogers.com
