The Dead South are a folk-bluegrass quartet from Regina, Saskatchewan, known for their high-energy acoustic sound and a distinctive blend of dark humour, tight harmonies and driving string arrangements. Formed in (2012), the group brings together Nate Hilts on lead vocals, guitar and mandolin; Scott Pringle on guitar, mandolin and vocals; Colton Crawford on banjo; and Danny Kenyon on cello and vocals. Their music carries the spirit of old-time folk while leaning into a modern, rough-around-the-edges charm that has helped them connect with audiences far beyond their Canadian roots.
Their albums — Good Company (2014), Illusion & Doubt (2016), Sugar & Joy (2019) and Chains and Stakes (2024) — chart an evolution from raw bar-room bluegrass to more expansive and cinematic storytelling, each release grounded in their unmistakable mix of grit and playfulness. With a loyal following built through charismatic live shows and genre-bending arrangements, The Dead South have established themselves as one of the most recognisable and refreshingly unconventional names in contemporary folk and bluegrass.
