Following their Sold Out UK Tour in 2020, The Dead South return with their unique mix of Americana, Bluegrass and Country….that explodes!

And what’s more, it’ll be Square Roots Promotions biggest show to date, at Portsmouth Guildhall!!

With banjo, mandolin, cello and guitar, The Dead South certainly look the part of bluegrass traditionalists. But, as outsiders to the bluegrass world by circumstances of geography – they’re from the Canadian prairies – and by influences, equal parts finger-picking and punk, there are few comparisons to be made for the 4 piece acoustic band.

“Something different, something raw! The Dead South can make you forget your troubles and even what century you’re in!”

Currently one of the hottest tickets on both sides of the Atlantic, The Dead South’s rise to touring juggernaut status is in part a very modern music biz fairytale, an algorithm-breaking success story in a three hundred-million (+) view youtube hit. The other factor, one simpler to see in terms of cause and effect, is their actual show – on stage they deliver, show after sold out show, a relentlessly great, high-energy frenzy. “Their aptitude for delivering a traditional roots sound with the energy and enthusiasm of a group of young upstarts has gained The Death South a massive worldwide audience in a very short amount of time.!”
