Jon Anderson

The first time I heard The Band Geeks, I completely freaked out! They sound exactly like classic YES from the 70s, the YES I know and love… AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO BRING YOU ON THIS TOUR… YES MUSIC IS ETERNAL!' – Jon Anderson. Jon Anderson is undoubtedly one of music's most recognizable voices as YES's lead singer and primary creator. He's the author and principal creative force behind the groundbreaking album 'Fragile' as well as a series of epic, complex tracks such as 'Awaken', 'Gates of Delirium' and especially 'Close to the Edge', which played an essential role in the group's success. Moreover, Anderson co-wrote the group's greatest hits, including 'I've Seen All Good People', 'Roundabout' and 'Owner Of A Lonely Heart'.

After 50 years of industry success, Jon has worked with numerous YES formations as well as 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', 'Survival and Other Stories' and more recently '1000 Hands', to name just a few.

The Band Geeks started as a resident group for the Band Geek podcast, an internet show created by Richie Castellano (Blue Öyster Cult). The group gained massive YouTube popularity with incredibly detailed covers of tracks by artists like Queen, Toto, Black Sabbath and Yes, accumulating over 30 million views.
