(ENGLEWOOD, NJ) -- Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC) presents YES – Epics, Classics & More featuring Jon Anderson and The Band Geeks on Saturday, June 1, 2024 at 8:00pm. Jon Anderson is one of the most recognizable voices in music as the lead vocalist and creative force behind YES.
“The first time I heard The Band Geeks I truly freaked out – they sound just like the classic YES of the ‘70s, the YES that I know and love… and that’s what I’m wanting to bring to you on this tour…YES music is forever!” Jon Anderson
Anderson was a major creative influence behind the ground-breaking album “Fragile,” as well as the series of epic, complex pieces such as “Awaken,” “Gates of Delirium” and “Close to the Edge.” Additionally, he co-wrote the group’s biggest hits, including “I’ve Seen All Good People,” “Roundabout” and “Owner Of A Lonely Heart.” After 50 years of success in the music business, Jon has worked with many variations of YES, as well as collaborations with Vangelis, Kitaro, Roine Stolt and Jean-Luc Ponty.
The Band Geeks began as the house band for the Band Geek podcast, an internet show created by Richie Castellano (Blue Öyster Cult). The band gained popularity on YouTube with their incredibly detailed recreations of music by artists like Queen, Toto, Black Sabbath and Yes, which have earned the Band Geeks over 30 million views.
