Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks tickets in Manchester

Jon Anderson, the original lead vocalist of YES, performs classic YES material with The Band Geeks, a five-piece group he has personally praised for their fidelity to the YES sound. This is a concert by the original artist, not a tribute act.

The artists and what to expect

Anderson co-wrote and sang on YES recordings including 'Close to the Edge', 'Awaken', 'Gates of Delirium', 'Roundabout', 'I've Seen All Good People' and 'Owner Of A Lonely Heart', and was a major creative influence behind the album 'Fragile'. Away from YES he has collaborated with Vangelis, Kitaro, Roine Stolt and Jean-Luc Ponty, and has released solo albums including 'Olias of Sunhillow', 'Song of Seven' and '1000 Hands'.

The Band Geeks began as the house band for a podcast created by Richie Castellano, who also plays with Blue Öyster Cult. Their YouTube channel features detailed recreations of material by artists including Queen, Toto, Black Sabbath and Yes, and has accumulated over 30 million views. The touring line-up is Richie Castellano on bass and guitar, Chris Clark (Brand X, John Entwistle) on keyboards, Andy Ascolese (Kasim Sulton's Utopia, Celebrating Meat Loaf) on drums, Phil Castellano on keyboards and guitar, and Matt Beck Graziano on guitar.
