Southern Culture on the Skids at The Southern Cafe & Music Hall 12/31

Slide into the New Year with Southern Culture on the Skids, the dynamic trio from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, that’s been raising hell with genre-collapsing rock ‘n’ roll for more than three decades. Featuring Rick Miller on guitar and vocals, Mary Huff on bass and vocals, and Dave Hartman on drums, the band performs its own brand of “wobbly Americana,” incorporating rockabilly, surf, country, and soul within its repertoire. Shenandoah Valley six-piece The Judy Chops open with a fusion of modern and vintage musical styles.

$47.95, 8:30pm. The Southern Café & Music Hall, 103 S. First St. thesoutherncville.com
