The Dead South | Live at The Orchard

The Dead South, a gold rush vibing four-piece acoustic set from Saskatchewan, infuse the genre's traditional trappings with an air of frontier recklessness, whiskey breakfasts and grizzled tin-pan showmanship. Their sound, build on a taut configuration of cello, mandolin, banjo and guitar, speeds like a train past polite definitions of acoustic music into the grittier, rowdier spaces of the bluegrass world.

The Dead South's original and current lineup includes the gnarled baritone of Nate Hilts, Scott Pringle on mandolin, whistling cellist Danny Kenyon and virtuosic banjo player Colton Crawford. The four-piece, string-driven approach puts the interplay of unique and versatile voices front and centre, with Hilts, Pringle and Kenyon all sharing lead vocal duties.

Produced by Meredith Nadeau, Michelle Golden and Ashley Hight
Audio Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Alonzo Vargas

Love how Colton goes from clawhammer to finger picking depending on the song. Really talented.

These guys should be snapped up by some film producer/director as the sound track to a Western. Their music really would set the tone for a great film.

Love this band, love this song...even love when Danny's voice cracks at a minute in.

[LudusAurea]

Didn't know Danny sung more than he does on In Hell I'll Be in Good Company. Nice.

Got tickets for Brixton Academy, so looking forward that🎸. Couldn't believe my luck when I found out they were being supported by Will Varley. Caught him last year at Towersey. Had never heard of him before. Check him out, he is such a talented singer \ songwriter. "The man who fell to earth" breaks my heart💔.

Question? Cello bassist leaves band over accusations. Why did you not support your band mate if he needed help. Instead he is gone. So sad bands not only show they work together . They also show unity through thick and thin. Here i dont see that . The dead south is the first me to movement band. The dead south is dieing it kills me to write this cause i love these guys so much. They rock but as for the saying united they should stand . The answer is NO THEY DONT !!!!
