The Dead South

We’re very pleased to announce that The Dead South will finally be returning to Cambridge in September as part of their UK tour, playing at Cambridge Corn Exchange on Tuesday 1st September.

The Dead South have never been about constant reinvention but steadfast commitment to their singular style. Confident in their sound and shared trust, they stand at the cusp of explosive global success, occupying an enviable and well-earned position: total autonomy. It doesn’t really matter what you call their music – progressive bluegrass, alternative Americana, country, folk and western, what matters is that this is theirs, and people from all different backgrounds, beliefs, experiences, languages and ages love it.

True blue right through, The Dead South don’t shy away from ruffling traditionalists’ feathers from time to time, as they flawlessly execute banjo rolls and lightning fast mandolin tremolos, 3-part harmonies and songs of classic themes - murder ballads, disloyalty, ghosts and the like, all with a wink and a smile. As they continue their climb to the top, The Dead South have learned an important lesson: If you’re going to be outsiders, you’d better be great.
