Legendary YES vocalist/songwriter Jon Anderson launched his partnership with The Band
Geeks with a US National tour in Spring 2023. The plan was to perform solely classic YES
tracks from their 70’s repertoire, including “And You and I,” “Starship Trooper,” “Heart of the
Sunrise” and epic works like “Close To The Edge,” “The Gates of Delirium,” “Awaken” and
others!
Jon Anderson said: “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, 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…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…”
The resulting live album is a snapshot of an unforgettable event, a rejuvenated artist which
explores his musical roots with a band of young virtuoso musicians who are able to breathe
new life in classic songs that truly need no introduction to the fans!
Jon Anderson is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable voices in music as the lead
vocalist and creative force behind YES.  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 his
successful album with the Band Geeks “True” to name just a few.
