The Dead South x Striking Matches

Alternative Bluegrass Legends Return to Europe!

Canadian band The Dead South, renowned for their distinctive style, captivating harmonies, and unique sound, are making their return to the stage with a concert on July 30, 2025. Their characteristic blend of bluegrass, alternative Americana, country, and folk sets them apart in the music scene.

The Dead South is a band that has never followed trends. From the very beginning, they have consistently built their own style, which is now gaining global recognition. Independence and artistic autonomy are their trademarks. With masterful banjo rolls, lightning-fast mandolin tremolos, and powerful three-part vocal harmonies, the group gives classic themes like murder ballads, betrayal, and ghost stories an unparalleled character. All of this is delivered with a twinkle in their eye and an authentic joy for playing.

An extraordinary fan community has emerged around The Dead South – Good Company – which unites people of diverse views, languages, and experiences, all standing shoulder to shoulder at their concerts. Their fans often appear in distinctive outfits inspired by the band's image, creating a one-of-a-kind, unreplicable atmosphere.

Support: Striking Matches – a Nashville duo comprised of Sarah Zimmermann and Justin Davis, known for their electrifying stage chemistry, honest songwriting, and raw, guitar-driven sound.

Their music blends rock, blues, and Americana with a modern edge – it's a space where grit meets groove, and catchy harmonies collide with emotionally charged storytelling.

After their breakthrough with songs featured in the TV series Nashville, Striking Matches have extensively toured the USA, UK, and Europe, building a dedicated, organically growing audience. They have shared the stage with artists like Ashley Monroe, Sierra Hull, and Train, and their work has been praised for its emotional power and live energy.

Currently operating independently and entirely on their own terms, the duo continues to expand their audience through unforgettable performances, international tours, and a deep connection with their fans. With new music set to be released in 2025, Striking Matches are embarking on the boldest and most authentic chapter of their career.
