Once I hit my teens, it was mostly only hard rock and metal bands that I listened to, but when I hear that type of music today, it takes me back to some real good times of days gone by. 

My mother played the spoons like that too, but not quite as awesome as the lady in the first video... SHE was good!

The Dead South are a Saskatchewan band with a bright future.
Since getting people moving in their home province, the "fun, modern hillbillies" have made waves across North America and into Europe.

But while touring in Germany recently, things came to a halt. The band cancelled their German tour abruptly.
Nate Hilts (vocals, guitar) and Scott Pringle (mandolin, vocals) told CBC Radio's Morning Editionthe cancellation was due to their bandmate, Colton Crawford's (banjo), sleeplessness. 
"The touring lifestyle, it's not as easy as one might think," Pringle said. "It's a lot of time spent on the road and being around people. It was kind of just weighing Colton down."
"He had started suffering from insomnia and he wasn't getting sleep, which kind of led to more serious anxiety I guess. Just from not sleeping over and over and over again. This had been going on for like a year. We had only kind of found out about it a few months ago but just a year of no sleeping built up, it just all came crashing down after that."

Hilts said it wasn't something the band or Crawford himself were aware of beforehand.
"The exhaustion continued and continued and it kind of kept eating away at him and then in the end it just built up and built up more than any of us had foreseen," Hilts said. "It all just kind of happened at one moment and then it was like OK ... Scott woke me up a like three in the morning, four in the morning, he's like 'We're going home.' "
Both Hilts and Pringle said they were happy Crawford opened up to them. 
"He figured he would just sort of adapt," Pringle said. "He would just keep trying. He would just keep pushing through and he would adapt and learn to cope and be able to continue to live this sort of life. But eventually it caught up to him and he realized like, 'OK. I can't pretend anymore. I can't keep faking it. I have to change.' "
Luckily, Crawford is doing well and will be returning to the band when they perform two concerts in Regina on Dec. 15 and 16 at the Exchange.
"The amount of support and love that he's been shown and we've been shown so far has just been, it's been overwhelming," Pringle said.
Calling themselves "Best friends, brothers, family," Hilts said they've learned from this experience and hope others will as well.
"You gotta take care of everyone," he said. "You're a team out there. You gotta make sure that everyone is feeling up to par."
