Their debut album "Good Company", first released in 2014, is making waves to this day and continues to climb the charts at #3 Alternative Albums, US and #32 All Categories Top Album in Canada, while their official music video to "In Hell I'll Be In Good Company" has well over 20 million views on YouTube.  

The Dead South will be supported by local folk and roots musician Kyle Milton Shushack, and the four-piece bluegrass band, Gibson, Martin & I.
