With roots deep in the Carolinas, South 85 blends country, folk, southern rock and bluegrass to give you a listening experience that you won't soon forget.  Driven by the original songwriting of Kathy Osborne and teh voice of Tracy Wyatt, South 85 is in a classification all their own - radio worthy songs along with an atmosphere of back-porch jam.  Named South 85 for their orgins along the southern interstate in South Carolina, the band chose this name because no matter wher they travel, they know they will always take South I-85 back home.

The marked "cowgirl" attitude and lifestyle exemplified by both Tracy & Kathy is interwoven throughout songs of independence, celebration of the south, hope and plain old fun!  South 85's sound is influenced by souther rock legends like Marshall Tucker Band, Black Crowes, cross-genre Americana artists Old Crowe Medicine Show, Gillian Welch and the sweet southern classics such as Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lynn.  The band may blend a rocking electric stratocaster with a banjo or ease an acoustic ballad with a dobro and mandolin with their varied sounds and themes.
