Skillet Licker Music Night with Adkins and Loudermilk

The Skillet Lickers, one of the longest running groups in Country music, now celebrating 90 years since their first recordings in 1924, are getting ready to kick off another great season of concerts in Dacula! The concerts, named the "Skillet Licker Music Nights" feature some of the biggest acts in Country, Bluegrass, Americana & Western Swing, having hosted such acts as CMA 1995 Male Vocalist of the Year, John Berry, CMA nominated songwriter of the year, Levi Lowrey, and many more in the past. 

This year, the Skillet Lickers are getting the concert series kicked off with a performance from the newest duet in bluegrass music, Adkins & Loudermilk, who have already received #1 hits on the bluegrass music charts and were named the "#1 Group to Watch For" in 2014 by "Bluegrass Today". 

Each concert is always opened by the Skillet Lickers and barbecue is provided by the award winning McGuire's BBQ in Auburn. Tickets to each event are $15 for adults (ages 15+), $5 for students (ages 5-14) and free for children under 5. Parking is free. The first concert of the season will begin at 6:30pm (ending at sundown), with the pavilion opening at 4:30pm. The location of the event is 2652 Auburn Ave., Dacula, GA 30019. We ask that you provide your own lawn chair or blanket.
