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.”
The Get Down is a '60s-inspired instrumental band based in Louisville, KY. With matching Fender instruments and a style rooted in surf, blues, and classic TV and film themes, The Get Down blends vintage cool with modern edge channeling legends like The Ventures and Dick Dale. Their sets have earned them spots alongside national acts like NRBQ, Southern Culture on the Skids, and Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band.
Members of The Get Down have shared stages with legends including Wanda Jackson, Curtis Mayfield’s Impressions, Duke Robillard, and Louisville cult heroes Bodeco. This adds authenticity and experience to their unmistakable sound.
