YES Legends Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman To Tour The US Fall 2011
Thursday, 15 September 2011
9/15/2011 - Asheville, NC - Much to the delight of fortunate music fans in
the Eastern part of North America, music legends and former YES members Jon
Anderson and Rick Wakeman will be playing a select number of engagements this
coming Fall 2011. The legendary duo performed a series of successful concerts in
the UK in 2010 in support of their critically acclaimed CD release 'The Living
Tree', and are now bringing their highly anticipated show to America!
Having worked together on and off since 1971's groundbreaking YES masterwork
'Fragile', Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman have traveled similar musical paths
that have eventually and happily led their careers back together again! Now once
again, the duo promise a magical evening of music and humor for all who attend!
"Expect a night of music, full of YES classics and new adventures in song from
'The Living Tree' album and moments of brilliance, humor and affection borne
from a friendship and musical partnership that has lasted 40 years", says Jon.
"We knew from the responses on the last YES tour that the acoustic section was
extremely popular and that many of the pieces could be re-arranged and adapted
to make very interesting and hopefully enjoyable new ways of playing YES music
and our own music," adds Rick.
The tour is being produced by Metropolitan Talent Presents and is booked by
Keith Naisbitt of Los Angeles based Agency for the Performing Arts. John Scher
co-CEO of Metropolitan says, "We are incredibly proud to be presenting the North
American debut of this legendary duo! Jon and Rick ARE the voice and sound of
YES, as well as famously successful solo performers! This tour will be areal
treat for their legions of fans."
Here's what the UK press has said about the Anderson Wakeman tour:
"One of the songs played on the night was the impressive '23/24/11' (from
Anderson Wakeman - The Living Tree), the true story of a soldier out in
Afghanistan who had that amount of time left to serve as his tour of duty.
Looking round at the audience there wasn't a dry eye left in the house. Once
more the combination of Jon's amazing vocal style and the lyrics work
perfectly." - Ian D. Hall, LS Media, UK
"Anderson showed yet again that he is the true voice of YES...Wakeman provided
the keyboard wizardry and a stream of stories." - Ian Harvey, Express & Star, UK
"Supporters of these two legends can witness close up, their unique bond which
spans almost 40 years; and why these two are being billed as the 'Heart and
Soul' of Prog giants YES." - Classic Media, UK
"Constant humorous interludes and witty interjections from the pair helped
enliven the show and added a welcomed lightness. Not only were these anecdotes
entertaining, they were also insightful...these two are a perfect creative
partnership." - Neil Mach, Staines Weblog
