After a highly successful 2023 tour with The Band Geeks, Jon Anderson decided to expand the creative partnership with the band to create new material for a potential new studio album. The result of this effort is True, which will be released on August 23 via Jon’s new label, Frontiers Music.
The 9-song album will be a welcome gift to all fans of Jon’s 40 years as lead vocalist of the multi platinum Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductee, YES.
The album’s collection of songs harkens back to YES’s classic 70’s sounds as well as to their latter day success with the album 90125. The album’s release will be preceded by two singles and videos, the first arriving mid-June for the song “Shine On”. The album was co-produced, engineered, and mixed by Band Geek bassist and musical director Richie Castellano.
Jon and The Band Geeks embark on their summer 2024 tour starting May 30th in New Brunswick, NJ. The tour will encompass three legs and will run through September. Additional September dates will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
