Latest News:  Looks like we will not be playing as much any more as  "The Sons of the South".  Jobs (or lack of), moving out of the area, and illness from family members has taken it's toll on the band.  However, we are still going to be putting on the Fourth Annual "Harold Pharr Cancer Fund Raiser on Sept 26th beginning at 4:45PM.  The location will be Northview Wesleyan Church in Statesville, NC.  See the last page of our website for a line-up of bands.  We look forward to seeing you again!

Otay!!!!! Bluegrass fans! 

2009 is here and we are tuning up to pick!  We just finished up practicing and playing as the opening band for Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver!  What a fantastic chance to play for a super group like them.

The band has gone through some transitions, we no longer have a full-time dobro player.  Roy Bourne had to leave due to work, but promised to play when his schedule allows.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that he can pick with us some this year.

We haven't been jammin' as much as in the past, gas prices, then loss of job, equals "No Money"!!!  But I have a new position and hope to do some more pickin again!

I am trying to complie another list for Fiddlers Conventions in NC, but need your help.  If you know of any, please drop me a line at:
bgrassguitarpicker@yahoo.com I will put them in a list and post them on our band's website!  I will post these on the "MISC" page of our website when we get them all.

As always. we look forward to seeing everyone again this coming year!

Respectfully,


Keith Souther
Sons of the South

Jan 31st 2009 at Alexander Central High School.

A local Traditional Bluegrass band is located in the Western and Central Piedmont area of North Carolina.  The band has been in existence for over 50 years and the last remaining original band member (Luther Souther) retired in 2004 after playing Bluegrass for better than 55 years.  Mr. Souther still fills in on the Bass occasionally when the need arises. 
Over the years, band members have changed but the traditional Bluegrass songs, tight harmony, and professional instrument work has been a main stay for the band .  The Sons of the South have opened for several groups such as: Bill Monroe, Jim & Jesse McReynolds, The Kruger Brothers, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver
