Welcome back to Sounds From The Shed, where we shine a light on the artists who are transforming Southern-rooted music with their stories, faith, and sound. In this episode, weâre honored to host Whosoever South, the Georgia-born trio whose genre-defying music blends country, hip-hop, bluegrass, and gospel into a raw and powerful testimony.
Who Is Whosoever South?
Whosoever South is made up of husband-and-wife Rowdy and Sarah Eunice, along with longtime friend and collaborator Mike Mitchell. Raised in rural Georgia, the trio draws deeply on their Southern roots, their faith, and their journey from hardship to redemption. Â
Their signature sound often dubbed âCountry Crunkâ blends traditional hip-hop beats, banjos, harmonica, bluegrass textures, and gospel-driven lyrics. Â Their music isnât just a hybrid; itâs a ministry: every song carries a message of hope, faith, and identity rooted in their relationship with God and their Southern heritage. Â
Their Journey & Sound
Before becoming Whosoever South, Rowdy, Sarah, and Mike were part of a secular act known as Solid Ground, opening for big-name acts like Kanye West and OutKast. But after life-changing experiences and a turn toward faith, they reassembled in 2008 under the name that reflects both their gospel message and their Southern roots. Â
On their debut album Goinâ Home (2013), produced by Asaf Fulks, they broke new creative ground delivering tracks that mix soulful testimony with gritty rap and bluegrass instrumentation. Â Their follow-up Come On In (2014) leaned even more into their âbackwoods flare,â layering harmonica, banjo, dobro, and classic hip-hop into a bold, gospel-forward sound. Â
Notable Achievements & Impact
