It was early August 2020, Fishing Lake, Saskatchewan, at the cabin of the lead singer/frontman of the Dead South, Nate Hilts. Over Jameson whisky and rye and cokes, I sat down with Nate to talk about the history of the band, how Nate got his start in music, what the band is up to since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and an in-depth look into some of their songs, particularly off their 2014 debut album, Good Company.
