South, as the old cliche goes, finds it's strength in it's diversity. Presently based in Kankakee, Illinois, Their story began in the small town of Clifton, Illinois on the fringe of the Chicago southlands. A group of friends active in various music programs began replacing their traditional concert instruments with used guitars and beat-up drum sets and jammed whenever they could in garages, barns and empty rehearsal rooms of the modest Central High School. By January , , after a number of differing arrangements, South officially formed. The band borrowed it's name from Otto Road in Kankakee County where four of the five original members resided. Currently, the band is composed of Lee Dean (lead guitar, vocals), Ryan Leggott (bass, vocals), Garth Johnson (drums), Greg Peerbolte (rhythm guitar, vocals), Robert "Da Vinci" Gates (keys, aux. perc., vocals), and Donny Elumbaugh (Live sound, recording engineer, webmaster).
Dean is a natural musician, fluent in guitar, bass, drums, keys and virtually any other instrument he picks up. He has been playing self-taught guitar for several years. Previously, he was active in gospel and jazz bands. Leggott has been playing playing bass guitar for well over a decade and was original member of the acclaimed band Key Lo G (previously Mystery Machine). He is extremely influenced by funk music and is a crowd favorite on stage. Johnson has been playing drums for virtually all his life. He has been involved in countless bands in almost every genre, including the notorious Rat Bastard Band of Kankakee. Peerbolte has been playing guitar for upwards of seven years. He is an intense and heated performer with lavish stage presence. His influences include the dynamic classic rock of the 's and 's. Gates, who moonlights as a nationally ranked tennis player, is truly deserving of his nickname. He has composed numerous pieces of music, ranging in style from hip-hop and blues to R&B and instrumental jazz. He is influenced by aspects of all genres of music. Elumbaugh, the literal and figurative " th man" of South's appearance and success on the web.

Kristianna Dykes and Chelley Seibert make up the band Frozen Feet. The captivating sound of Frozen Feet happens when Kristi’s acoustic guitar playing, powerful voice and heart felt lyrics are combined with Chelley’s remarkable harmony arrangements and commanding percussion style. Performing as a duo or with guest musicians, these girls rock!! and are “power packed” with great entertainment for all audiences. Very reminiscent of Indigo Girls vocal style with the impeccable harmonies and acoustic guitars but, the lyrics are more spiritual and heartfelt similar to Edie Brickell and The Judds

We call ourselves a rock band because we really don't know how else to define a band with as much diversity in influence as we are. Fusion would be the second guess. We focus on solid rythyms and emphasize melodic overtones, resulting in a hell of a show! Give us a shot, you might like us so much, you'll want us back...
