Influences

5000 South's original music pulses with rock energy while purring like a box of sleepy tigers. Our oldschool influences are as diverse as our musical talents, ranging from the backwater twangs of Creedence Clearwater Revival and buzzing beats of Radiohead to the cocky backstreet riffs of Bob Dylan and the velvety rhythms of B.B. King.
