Here’s a quick blurb on this alt.bluegrass band: The Dead South is a four-piece acoustic ensemble based in Regina, Saskatchewan. With gritty vocals, soaring harmonies, blazing banjo licks, and prominent cello melodies, The Dead South blends elements of folk, bluegrass, classical, and rock which results in a unique, modern, and authentic blend of toe-tapping acoustic music. I discovered them while perusing Youtube. Here’s probably their most popular song.

Okay, now that’s just terrific. I used to listen to the Sirius Canadian Indie channel and realized that those long cold winters were real good for music. ---

Yeah, the guy playing the cello like a bass guitar is pretty awesome.
