Sons Of The New Amish

The Sons Of The New Amish (SONA) continue on their never-ending “Goin’ Back To Gravel” Tour in 2015. Led by guitarist par-excellence and chief songwriter John Klingelhoffer, SONA travels across the ChicagoLand area from the fresh water marshes of DuPage County. Always seeking out new disciples, to join in the fight against listlessness and dissatisfaction, SONA has the cures with the fictional honky tonk country song “The Pastor’s Wife”, and the Jethro Tull infused “Nancy Can You Tell Me”. John’s surrounds himself with sidekicks, Joe Schumacher (bass), Steve Majus (drums), Nancy Dunlop (flute/vocals), and Jim Hurley (mandolin-guitar). Some of their songs provide consumers solutions to their real estate woes, like “We Don’t Call 9-1-1” Others just plainly part of SONA’s manifesto, including their “pay no more taxes” anthem, “Goin’ Back To Gravel” SONA also mixes in all the unknown country music you’d ever want to hear and puts a Woodstock spin on it. Always entertaining, mostly on-key, SONA is not to be missed.
