Undoubtedly, Jon Anderson – The Voice of YES – is one of the most recognizable and influential voices in progressive rock. As the lead vocalist and creative force behind the phenomenally successful band YES, Anderson was central to their popularity. On Sunday, April 13, at 8 p.m. at The Ridgefield Playhouse, this accomplished musician will go solo in an evening that will feature the timeless YES tunes plus some from his own eclectic songbook. Anderson and YES gave us the hits "Roundabout," "All Good People," "Long Distance Runaround," "Find My Way Home," "Wondrous Stories," "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and many more. An AllShows.com VIP Party Pass ($25 addt'l per person), which includes a pre-show cocktail party 6:30 – 7:15 p.m. with open bar, hors-d'oeuvre and priority parking, is available for this show by calling the box office (203-438-5795).

To sum up the impact of seeing Jon Anderson in concert, a fan raves: "I saw my favorite singer of all time last night and he did not disappoint me. Also the fans were awesome to show their love of this man.... His voice sounded great just like we all remember.... His voice is one of the most clearest purest sounding voices I have ever heard performed live. I could sit and listen to this man sing all night.... My favorite moment: The many standing ovations thru the night from the fans."
