While upbeat bangers are part of their repertoire, this is no pub band, but rather a collection of the best of New Zealand\u2019s acoustic instrumentalists that are searching for a new, dynamic sound that showcases the best of Americana in Aotearoa.<\/p>\n<p>Referred to as New Zealand\u2019s first Bluegrass Supergroup, the excitement around their inception saw them play their first live gig as openers for The Felice Brothers as part of the Americana fest at Auckland\u2019s Tuning Fork. They recorded their EP a week later and in February 2020, You, Me, Everybody released their self-titled debut EP, which reached number 13 in the New Zealand album charts. This debut also saw them named as finalist for the Best NZ Folk Artist, 2021 in the Aotearoa Music Awards. They were chosen as one of four international Bluegrass bands to be featured in the International Bluegrass Music Association\u2019s Leadership Bluegrass forum, showcasing a performance by the band directly after a presentation by Grammy award winning, Sarah Jarosz. Their first full length album, <i>Southern Sky<\/i>, was released in January 2021, which again debuted in the top 20 of the NZ album charts.<\/p>\n<p>Now in 2023 they feature in Netflix\u2019s <i>Sweet Tooth<\/i>, opening Episode 4 performing their song Stranger as the inhabitants of Factory Town celebrate the discovery of the cure of \u2018the sick\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cExhibiting more talent and emotional depth than the Instagram-influencing kids with laptops that dominate the charts, Southern Sky is never going to make waves in the mainstream, but in the eyes of closet hipsters, folk enthusiasts, and their hippy-denigrating grandparents, this is a golden release. 5 stars\u201d<\/i> - Peter-James Dries - Muzic.NZ<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo Credit: Ebony Lamb<\/em><\/p>\n","band_members":"Laurence Frangos-Rhodes\r\nSam Frangos-Rhodes\r\nRob Henderson\r\nNat Torkington\r\nKim Bonnington","featured_image":{"width":150,"height":150,"file":"artists\/youmeeverybodyphoto-scaled.jpg","filesize":489386,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"youmeeverybodyphoto-300x200.jpg","width":300,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":62429,"url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/youmeeverybodyphoto-300x200.jpg"},"large":{"file":"youmeeverybodyphoto-1024x683.jpg","width":1024,"height":683,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":137788,"url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/youmeeverybodyphoto-1024x683.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"file":"youmeeverybodyphoto-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":57141,"url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/youmeeverybodyphoto-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"youmeeverybodyphoto-768x512.jpg","width":768,"height":512,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":102912,"url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/youmeeverybodyphoto-768x512.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"file":"youmeeverybodyphoto-1536x1024.jpg","width":1536,"height":1024,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":227245,"url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/youmeeverybodyphoto-1536x1024.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"file":"youmeeverybodyphoto-2048x1365.jpg","width":2048,"height":1365,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":345895,"url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/youmeeverybodyphoto-2048x1365.jpg"},"crp_thumbnail":{"file":"youmeeverybodyphoto-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":57141,"url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/youmeeverybodyphoto-150x150.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"5.6","credit":"Ebony Lamb Photography","camera":"Canon EOS 5D Mark III","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1751305611","copyright":"Ebony Lamb Photography","focal_length":"24","iso":"100","shutter_speed":"0.00625","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]},"original_image":"youmeeverybodyphoto.jpg","ID":"267365","name":"youmeeverybodyphoto-scaled.jpg","path":"\/home\/muzicnz\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/youmeeverybodyphoto-scaled.jpg","url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/youmeeverybodyphoto-150x150.jpg","full_url":"https:\/\/www.muzic.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/artists\/youmeeverybodyphoto-scaled.jpg","title":"youmeeverybodyphoto","caption":"","description":"","alt":"Youmeeverybodyphoto","srcset":false},"genre":[{"term_id":21,"name":"Country\/Folk","slug":"country-folk","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":21,"taxonomy":"genre","description":"Country music narrates life's stories with heartfelt lyrics, twangy guitars, and soulful vocals.
