About: The Dead South

Formed in Regina, Saskatchewan in 2012, this banjo-cello-mandolin quartet has racked up over a billion streams on the strength of dark murder ballads and foot-stomping Americana - all played entirely acoustic. Their 2024 album Chains & Stakes, recorded in Mexico City, keeps the momentum going on a world tour that now reaches European stages.
