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 by Jon‘s new label, Frontiers Music Srl.
The first single from “True,” a song called “Shine On” can be streamed with the accompanying official music video through the YouTube player below:
“True” is a nine-song album which will be a welcome gift to all fans of Jon’s 40 years as lead vocalist of the multi-platinum Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee YES. The LP’s collection of songs harkens back to YES‘ classic 1970s sounds as well as to their latter-day success with the album “90125.”
The album was co-produced, engineered and mixed by The Band Geeks bassist and musical director Richie Castellano.

Jon and The Band Geeks embarked on their 2024 U.S. tour on May 30 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The tour will encompass three legs and will run through September. Additional September dates will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
“I was talking to THE BAND GEEKS and said, hopefully we can play in London and Steve will get up and do a couple of songs with us, maybe Rick too,” Anderson said. “It just means talking. When I’m out there singing on my own, I still think I’m part of YES. They still feel like my songs.“
