Unknown Hinson, The Shucks 

When: Fri., Jan. 6, 8:30 p.m. 2012
Price: $14.50-$18

He's the Dean Ween of country, a wildly imaginative smart-ass with a ridiculous backstory and a penchant for searing rockabilly. In practice, Unkown Hinson's act isn't far removed from some of what Southern Culture on the Skids does (caustic straight face send-ups of redneck culture). Though he presents himself as a thickly sideburned Country and Western vampire from the '50s, his reality-based alter-ego Stuart Daniel Baker is from Albemarle and developed the character on Charlotte public access television in the '90s. A hardy road dog who enjoyed a major-label cup of tea, he's released several albums and even provides the voice of Early Cuyler for the cartoon Squidbillies. —Chris Parker
