The Dead South

Bluegrass Band

The Dead South is a Canadian folk-bluegrass band that stands out for their unique blend of traditional and modern sounds. Formed in 2012 in Regina, Saskatchewan, the band consists of four members: Nate Hilts (lead vocals, guitar), Scott Pringle (mandolin, guitar, vocals), Danny Kenyon (cello, vocals), and Colton Crawford (banjo). Their music is characterized by a distinct, high-energy style that combines gritty, raw vocals with the rhythmic drive of bluegrass instrumentation, which creates an engaging and somewhat darkly humorous sound.

good company

Their 2014 album, "Good Company", marked their breakthrough, featuring the hit single "In Hell I'll Be in Good Company," which went viral for its catchy tune and quirky, memorable music video. The song exemplifies their signature style—mixing traditional folk storytelling with a modern twist. The band’s lyrics often delve into themes of love, loss, and life’s darker aspects, yet they manage to infuse these topics with a sense of playfulness and irony. This distinctive approach has earned them a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim within the folk and bluegrass communities.

chains & stakes

The Dead South's latest album, "Chains & Stakes," was released on February 9, 2024. This album continues their tradition of blending storytelling, instrumentals, and vocal harmonies to create captivating music

Despite their traditional roots, The Dead South is known for their innovative approach to music and performance. Their live shows are a testament to their dynamic energy and ability to connect with audiences through both their musical prowess and charismatic stage presence. The band's unconventional appearance, often dressed in old-fashioned, prairie-style clothing, adds to their unique charm. Over the years, they've continued to release successful albums, including Illusion & Doubt (2016) and Sugar & Joy (2019), cementing their place as a refreshing and influential force in the modern folk and bluegrass scene.
