As one of the two million people who watched FOX's Next Great American Band back in October 2007, I became a huge fan of the Virginia rooted trio of string pluckin' brothers who competed on the show. They called themselves The Clark Brothers. They blew me away with each performance and in the end, Adam, Ashley and Austin Clark came out winning the title of THE NEXT GREAT AMERICAN BAND. Included with their title, was a recording contract with 19 Entertainment. For two years they proceeded to work on their debut record.

In October of 2009, after changing their musical style and direction from The Clark Brothers... they decided to pay tribute to their Mother by renaming themselves... Sons of Sylvia. Their highly anticipated CD Revelation was finally released April 27, 2010. They are on tour presently, opening for Carrie Underwood until December 19, 2010. This forum is dedicated to posting reviews photos, updates and my own personal experiences from Sons of Sylvia's first tour... Special thanks go out to all those who have contributed to this blog...

ON STAGE...

Rochester NY March 31, 2010

Sons of Sylvia - they looked and sounded amazing - Ashley pounded out some songs, some of which I could understand the words and some I couldn't make out, his vocals are pretty great, he's quite the performer and commands attention -(They should really have an album out - looking forward to hearing it hope it comes out soon) - people went wild for the instrumental bluegrass number they hammered out, as Austin said " this is going to hurt" and they play so fast it must be deadly on the fingers - I wish they had done a softer number with fiddle and mandolin , dobro and some great harmonies but most pieces were hard driving and very rock - they make handsome figures on the big screen I must say, - the people behind me were talking up a storm about them- guess they became instant fans
