About the Artist

Born from the windswept plains of Saskatchewan, The Dead South have carved a unique niche in the music scene. Comprising Nate Hilts (mandolin, vocals, guitar), Scott Pringle (guitar, vocals, mandolin), Danny Michel (cello, vocals), and Eliza Stark (banjo, vocals), the band is instantly recognisable for their traditional instrumentation, dark lyrical themes, and their signature sartorial flair – often sporting cowboy hats and a brooding intensity. Their music draws heavily on traditional folk and bluegrass, but injects a modern, often macabre sensibility that sets them apart. Since their formation, they've garnered a devoted international following, fueled by viral hits and electrifying live performances. Their albums, including the Juno Award-winning 'Illusion & Doubt' and the critically acclaimed 'Sugar & Joy', showcase their evolving sound while staying true to their roots. Expect a setlist that spans their impressive catalogue, delivering both the raucous anthems and the melancholic ballads that have become their trademark.
