Jon Anderson's New Sound: Yes Legend Finds Magic With Band Geeks
14 Jun
Summary
- Jon Anderson, 81, is releasing his second studio album with the Band Geeks.
- The new album, 'Giving is Living,' is slated for a spring 2027 release.
- Anderson finds joy performing Yes classics and new music with the Band Geeks.
Jon Anderson, the venerable voice of Yes, is currently enjoying a creative resurgence at 81 with his touring group, the Band Geeks. Their collaborative journey has led to the near completion of their second studio album, titled "Giving is Living," with a projected release in spring 2027. This new work is described by Anderson as the "main course" following their debut album, "True," released in 2024.
The creative process for "Giving is Living" involves dedicated Zoom sessions, a method that proved successful for their previous album. Anderson, residing in central California, and the Band Geeks in New Jersey, would engage in 10-hour calls weekly to develop new material.
Anderson expresses immense pride and energy from his continued music-making. He is currently touring with the "Yes Epics, Classics & More Tour," performing a blend of classic Yes songs and new compositions from "True" and forthcoming projects.
Reflecting on his time with Yes, Anderson fondly remembers his former bandmates as "brothers." While open to potentially exploring later Yes material on tour, he humorously deflects questions about a reunion with the current lineup, referencing a hypothetical reunion in the afterlife.
