“COUNTRY ROADS” PROUDLY PRESENTED BY THE MORNING After BAND
They say life is a journey and not a destination. This journey is made up of many
different roads that lead to many places along this journey of ours. Some lead to
friendship, some lead to happiness, some lead to love, while some lead to
heartache and pain. COUNTY ROADS looks to take you on a journey down a
couple of these roads through music and song by artists like Keith Urban, Don
Williams, Chris Stapleton, The Eagles, Willie Nelson, Josh Turner, Johnny Cash,
Billy Ray Cyrus and many more, while sharing with you the tales and adventures
of The Morning After band, a top-notch wedding, corporate and party band.
So let’s reflect on the good times, but remember to live in the moment.
The Morning After band featuring, Dirk Klut, Gerhard Oosthuizen and
Shannon Sutherland-Clark, was started in 2010 by long-time friends, Dirk
and Gerhard, when they recognized a huge need in the wedding market for a
professional live wedding band, headquartered in Johannesburg. Since then they
have travelled across southern and central Africa to not only perform at
weddings, but corporates and special events too.
Dirk Klut has been making music for more than 2 decades, teaching himself to
play guitar with Eric Clapton’s “Unplugged” album. Verse for verse and chorus
for chorus, he didn’t give up until he could play every song, which gives one a
tiny bit of insight into his work ethic, dedication and passion for music. When he
is not perfecting his fashion sense, Dirk is killing it on guitar and vocals in The
Morning After. He loves to travel, reading biographies and crafting guitars from
scratch.
Name an instrument and Gerhard Oosthuizen can play it, but in The Morning
After, he is both the occasional vocalist and the guy slapping the bass. G is
seasoned musician, who played for several popular South African acts before he
teamed up with his best friend and business partner, Dirk, to form The Morning
After. G takes care of the operational side of the band with the uncanny ability to
sort out and organise just about anything. He is also known for cracking a lot of
jokes (of the dad jokes variety), so when you hear his booming laughter, just go
with it!
Shannon Sutherland-Clark does not fit the unflattering stereotypes floating
around about drummers. He is always on time, he is a genius and drumming to
him is not just bashing around, it’s a pretty technical skill. Shannon is a SAMA
award-winning musician, an avid golfer (5 handicap), the band clown and a reallife equivalent of Bob the Builder.
