context_page_description: SONA was a Neo-Pagan music band that toured and performed at Neo-Pagan gatherings and other events throughout the Midwest during the first decade of the 21st century. SONA, with its three members, was popularly known as "the Peter, Paul and Mary of Pagan music".
  The three members of SONA were Beltana Spellsinger, "Papa" Joe Credit and his son Joe Credit III. Beltana played the conga drums, Papa Joe played guitar and Joe Credit III played mandolin. All three sang, harmonizing with each other. All three also wrote songs for the group.
context_section_description: SONA reunited in February 2007 at the Magical Hibernation festival sponsored by Ozark Avalon and held at the Quality Inn in Columbia.   Fans welcomed them back with much pleasure and appreciation.  Following this, they also appeared at Tara, Heartland, Wytchehaven and at Wolvenwold.
  In 2009, after a debate among Wolvenwold members over campground rules, SONA members, being divided by the issue, split up.  At this time all three SONA members embarked on separate musical projects.  Joe Credit III decided to relocate to St. Louis and involve himself in the music scene there.  Beltana started a women's music group called Bellawyck.  On occasion the Joes have played their instruments and backed up Beltana's bands, Bellawyck and then Spellsinger.
  The possibility of a reunion concert always lingers.  As the lyrics of one of SONA's songs ("Little Song") say:
  “Before we make our exodus
  remembrance my friend
  The Joi De Vivre and Unity
  And we will return again"
