THE MORNING AFTER PROUDLY PRESENTS "ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK"
"Rock Around The Clock" promises to be a captivating showcase of popular music from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, featuring legendary artists such as Bill Haley and the Comets, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Status Quo, Pink Floyd, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Chuck Berry, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Diamond, Buddy Holly, and many more.
The iconic song "Rock Around The Clock", originally recorded by Bill Haley and The Comets, holds the distinction of being the first Rock 'n Roll recording to top the Billboard's Pop charts. It has since been covered by notable artists including Ringo Starr, The Isley Brothers, Pat Boone, The Platters, and Johnny Cooper.
Known for their electrifying performances and ability to capture the essence of classic Rock 'n Roll, The Morning After will don their smart black suits and take audiences on a nostalgic journey through hits like Chuck Berry's "Johnny B Goode", The Beatles' "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams", Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in The Wall", Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline", and Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising", among others.
Prepare to "Rock Around The Clock" as you embark on this musical voyage spanning three decades.
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 real-life equivalent of Bob the Builder.
