As a key songwriter and the original voice of progressive rock band YES, Jon Anderson has sold millions of records worldwide, been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, been nominated for 5 Grammys with one win, and has toured around the world for more than 50 years.
As I spoke with Jon, he was in the middle of the first leg of his North American tour to promote the brand new upcoming album from Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks. The album is called TRUE, and it is set to be released on August 23rd, 2024 on Frontiers Records.

In this interview, Jon talks about finding Richie Castellano (Blue Oyster Cult) and his Band Geeks, and how this TRUE record came together. Jon also talks about doing the progressive long form song structure again, writing his autobiography, and the one thing he's always wanted to do, and the possibility of working on another record with the Band Geeks.

    Jon Anderson on the one hand, and The Band Geeks on the other, are equally amazed by each other - an excellent basis for a fulfilling relationship.

    I don't know what's with Jon A. but I think he's the most beautiful person I've ever seen... he impresses me in such a way it's hard to explain, not to mention his singing, which is otherworldly

    I met John in 1999. He's still the same amazing person. It was so good to see him and hear his voice again. Great interview, Scott.
