The Dead South are a four-piece acoustic band from Regina, Saskatchewan, formed in 2012. Nate Hilts (vocals, guitar), Scott Pringle (mandolin, guitar), Colton Crawford (banjo) and Danny Kenyon (cello) blend bluegrass, folk and Americana with a gritty, darkly humorous edge. Their 2014 debut album Good Company - now past one billion streams - broke them globally, driven by the viral hit "In Hell I'll Be in Good Company". Platinum and gold certifications, a Billboard Bluegrass #1 for Sugar & Joy (2019), and a Grand Ole Opry debut in 2024 mark the arc of a band that built its audience one relentless tour at a time.
The Dead South released the single "Joey" in 2025, continuing activity between tour legs.
The Dead South headlined the Farm and Fun Time live variety show at the Birthplace of Country Music on May 8, 2025.
The Dead South made their Grand Ole Opry debut in February 2024, receiving a standing ovation.
Their fourth studio album Chains & Stakes, recorded in Mexico City, was released on February 9, 2024 via Six Shooter Records.
Good Company's 10th anniversary was marked with a Dolby Atmos spatial audio edition and a limited collectors' vinyl reissue; the album has surpassed one billion streams worldwide.
