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."
