Sons of the Silent Age - The Cracked Actor Cabaret' the music of David Bowie stripped down and intimate live at City Winery Chicago - Monday, July 29, 2024 at 7:30 PM!
Chris Connelly & Matt Walker are both 30+ year veterans of the music business. Chris moved from his native Scotland in the 80’sm to pursue a career in gratuitous volume and outrage with techno-rednecks THE REVOLTING COCKS and MINISTRY.
Matt has brought his formidable drumming skills to renowned bands over the years including FILTER, SMASHING PUMPKINS, GARBAGE & MORRISSEY.
Matt and Chris were collaborating on a song when the seed was sewn to start a band dedicated to the music of DAVID BOWIE. A stellar band was culled from Chicago’s elite musicians, all veterans in their own right with excellent musical pedigrees.
Songs from Bowie’s canon were selected, played and honed and SONS OF THE SILENT AGE became a living, vital entity.
In January 2013, SOTSA played their inaugural charity show to a sold out crowd at METRO in Chicago.
The benefit was so successful they decided to make it an annual event at Metro.
Years later, the band continues to thrive, playing select, prestigious shows including the opening of the “David Bowie Is” exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, and collaborating with kindred spirits such as SHIRLEY MANSON, SINEAD O’ CONNOR, MICHAEL SHANNON & AVA CHERRY.
SONS OF THE SILENT AGE are dedicated musicians who love the material and know it intimately. The band pour their collective talents over Bowie’s 40+ years & 30 albums of dazzling music that irrefutably changed the face of music culture forever.
