The Rutledge Summer Concert series continues with a band that goes back FOUR generations! The Skillet Lickers was a Dacula, Georgia, string band from formed in 1926 by chicken farmer Gid Tanner. According to Gwinnett Magazine, “The Skillet Lickers were among the first country music groups ever recorded, and in a career spanning 15 years made 188 recordings. String bands — or “hillbilly” bands — were widely featured locally back then on radio stations WSB and WGST.” The band continues to carry on that legacy today with different members but the same down-home vibe.
