About The Dead South

Bearing witness to the accelerating negativity of global affairs, British reggae powerhouse Steel Pulse continues their musical mission to halt the disarray of humanity. As they celebrate 50 years since forming in Birmingham, England, the band’s twelfth studio album, Mass Manipulation, reflects their ongoing commitment to bettering mankind through music. Themes of social justice and human rights, as potent today as they were at the band’s inception, lie at the heart of Steel Pulse’s songs and lyrics.

“I am so thrilled to be able to come out and play again for you. It’s been a spectacular year, and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone soon,” says Frampton.

How do we define a music festival? AI tells me it is simply a gathering of people to enjoy live music. When just over a week had six live music events, I’d call that a festival, as the bands gathered to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Chicago Street Pub, an Irish-style pub. They were glad to be there for their friends, Michael and Kathy Trizna, owners and masterminds of the madness.

Saturday night in St. Petersburg, FL, Spafford delivered an unforgettable performance at Jannus Live, capped off by a special guest appearance from Mike Nivens of Ajeva. Nivens joined the band during their show-closing song, "Weasel," adding his signature energy and guitar prowess to an already electrifying jam. To sweeten the sit-in, Spafford's Brian Moss let Nivens play his former touring guitar, "The Raven," a milestone moment marking the first and only time someone else has played it on stage.
