YES “Epics and Classics” featuring Jon Anderson
and featuring The Band Geeks

Jon Anderson is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable voices in music as the lead
vocalist and creative force behind YES. Anderson was the author and a major creative
influence behind the ground-breaking album “Fragile” as well as the series of epic,
complex pieces such as “Awaken,” “Gates of Delirium” and especially “Close to the
Edge” which were central to the band’s success. Additionally, Anderson co-authored the group’s biggest hits, including “I’ve Seen All Good People,” “Roundabout” and “Owner Of A Lonely Heart.” After 50 years of success in the music business, Jon has worked with many variations of YES, as well as collaborations with Vangelis, Kitaro, Roine Stolt and Jean-Luc Ponty. He has released several critically acclaimed solo albums including “Olias of Sunhillow,” “Song of Seven,” “Animation,” “Three Ships,” “Toltec” and “Survival and Other Stories” and most recently “1000 Hands” to name just a few.

“It’s true, I never left YES in my heart and soul…ever!! Too many amazingly powerful memories… And of course the music never left me…
So here I am, 77 years old, still wanting to sing the songs again, and bring MY true
feelings to the lyrics…
Melody and lyrics has always been my passion…I sing them now with an older and I
hope wiser state of mind…

I’ve been wanting to have that feeling again…of performing the songs I lived for, and
the music I helped to create and design, with the sound of the band of old around me
once more…
And the first time I heard the BAND GEEKS I truly freaked out – they sound just like the classic YES of the seventies, the YES that I know and love… AND THAT’S WHAT I’M WANTING TO BRING TO YOU ON THIS TOUR….YES MUSIC IS FOREVER!!!!!!”
– Jon Anderson
