A live performance by the long-running North Carolina bluegrass and country rock band Southern Culture on the Skids at the Visulite Theatre.
Southern Culture on the Skids play the Visulite Theatre on Friday, December 11, 2026. The current lineup—Rick Miller on guitar and vocals, Mary Huff on bass and vocals, and Dave Hartman on drums—has been playing together for more than 30 years, and they've been recording and touring since 1983.
Their career has run through a wide range of rooms. They've played all-night North Carolina house parties and late-night TV talk shows with Conan O'Brien and The Tonight Show; they've performed at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan and for inmates at North Carolina correctional facilities. Along the way they've shared stages with Link Wray, Loretta Lynn, Hasil Adkins, and Patti Smith. Their music has appeared in films and television, been parodied by Weird Al, and even used to sell diamonds and pork sausage. In 2014, the Southern Folklife Collection at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill honored them with an exhibition.
