Dallas Good, best known as the singer and guitarist for Canadian rock band the Sadies, has died, Exclaim! and Rolling Stone report. According to the band, Good died of natural causes. He was 48 years old.
Good was the son of Bruce Good of the bluegrass group the Good Brothers, a Juno Award–winning band that was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 2004. Dallas co-founded the Sadies with his brother Travis in 1994, and, alongside bassist Sean Dean and drummer Mike Bellitsky, the Toronto band released its first album, Precious Moments, in 1998. Known for their blend of punk, country, Americana, surf, and garage rock, the Sadies were part of the “alt-country” scene of the early 2000s, best captured in 2006 on their double album In Concert: Volume One.
The Sadies went on to collaborate with Neko Case, Neil Young, the Mekons, Kurt Vile, Buffy Sainte-Marie, and many more over the years, and released their most recent album, Northern Passages, in 2017. The band made the Short List for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize for the record Darker Circles. Two years later, the Sadies’ “Rumbleseat” won the Juno Award for Video of the Year. Just one month ago, the Sadies shared their latest single, “Message to Belial,” produced by Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire.
