Live
The Dead South fully embody their own unique style - a blend that makes them authentic and unmistakable. Just before their breakthrough to worldwide success, the question arises as to how one should even describe their music - is it progressive bluegrass, alternative Americana, country, folk or western? Perhaps a mixture of everything. In the end, all that matters is that it's their music. And it captivates people from a wide range of cultures, age groups and life stories. With impressive banjo rolls, lightning-fast mandolin tremolos and three-part harmonies, they bring their very own touch to the classic American music scene. Their lyrics take on classic themes - murder ballads, infidelity, ghosts and other dark themes. They present all of this with a wink, a smile and a lightness that both delights and provokes the audience. Their music is both a recourse to old traditions and an ironic break with them, which particularly challenges traditionalists. Their success is confirmed by the great passion of their fans, who turn up to the concerts in the band's distinctive clothing and thus show that they belong to the "Good Company" - a worldwide community that has formed around The Dead South. This community unites people who couldn't be more different, who may not always agree politically or personally, but who find each other in the band's music. They stand shoulder to shoulder at the concerts and celebrate a music that transcends borders and connects.
