Over The Skillet Lickers Centennial Podcast

A hundred years ago, a group of North Georgia musicians gathered around fiddles, banjos, and front-porch rhythms to record music that would help define the sound of Southern string band music. They called themselves the The Skillet Lickers, and what they captured in the 1920s still echoes through country, bluegrass, and Americana today. The Skillet Lickers Podcast explores the history, music, and cultural impact of this legendary Georgia band and the world they came from. Hosted from right here in North Georgia, the show blends storytelling, local history, music analysis, and conversations with historians, musicians, and culture keepers who understand why these songs still matter. Each episode digs into the people behind the music — from legendary fiddler Gid Tanner to the communities, recording sessions, and front-porch traditions that shaped early Southern music. Along the way, we explore how these recordings influenced generations of artists and helped lay the foundation for what would eventually become modern country and bluegrass. But this isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a journey into the roots of Southern culture — the stories, the humor, the hardship, and the joy that lived inside the music. Because long before Nashville became “Music City,” there were farmers, mill workers, and traveling musicians from the hills of Georgia who picked up their instruments and played something the world had never quite heard before. And a hundred years later, we’re still listening.

The Original Skillet Lickers (1880s-1930s)

In this opening episode of the Skillet Lickers 100 miniseries, we begin the story where it all started — in a studio building with its own connection to the legend himself. The location is fitting: the very place where Gid Tanner once famously crashed into the building, a moment that captures the larger-than-life personality of one of Georgia’s most influential musicians. We go back to the beginning, exploring where Gid Tanner was born, what his early life was like in North Georgia, and how he first picked up a fiddle. The episode also dives into the world of early 20th-century fiddle conventions, which were a vital gathering place for musicians and helped shape the emerging sound of Southern string band music. Along the way, we look at how Atlanta briefly beat Nashville to the punch in the country music recording industry, thanks to talent scout Frank Walker and the early recording sessions happening across Georgia. That path ultimately brought Gid Tanner together with Riley Puckett, leading to their first recordings in 1924. From there, the story moves into the official formation of the Skillet Lickers in 1926, and the remarkable success they enjoyed between 1926 and 1931 — years that helped define early country music and introduce the group to a national audience before the band eventually disbanded in 1931. In the next episode, we’ll pick up the story with the 1934 recording sessions, explore what came after the group’s initial run, and examine the lasting influence the Skillet Lickers had on the early country music industry — including the generation of stars who followed in their footsteps.
