Welcome

Welcome to the Sunny South Bluegrass Band website. Sunny South is a bluegrass band playing in the Portland, Oregon area. They have been playing together in various configurations for over 30 years and cover a wide range of bluegrass styles and eras. The Sunny South started with Mike Stahlman and Dave Elliott playing music with Sunny Hammond and Tygh Trachsel. They played all over the pacific northwest and became well known. Now Sunny South is a 5 piece group with some new faces.

Sunny South's First Recording 

Howdy Friends,

We have been busy over here at the Sunny South corporate headquarters... Busy digitizing more great music to share. This time we have the first Sunny South recording done in 1980. This was digitized from it's original format cassette. There's some great playing and we hope you enjoy. Go ahead and check it out on our music page.

We added a couple more shows to the calendar so please check that out as well and we look forward to seeing you all soon.

Sincerely,

Sunny South

Back in the saddle 

Hey folks,

We are just getting things off the ground after all enduring a long pandemic that we are still struggling with. We have decided to merge The Loafers and Sunny South into one wonderful band. We are going to be using the name Sunny South now. We are working on getting updated information, shows, music and merchandise out to you soon.

Thanks!

Sunny South
