Yes’ Jon Anderson seems to be optimistic that the COVID-19 concerns will calm down very soon, because this morning, Ruth Eckerd Hall announced that the 75-year old will make his grand return to the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre on July 3.
Tampa Bay is no stranger to the timeless sound of Yes, one of the few progressive rock bands to score a spot in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Since 2010, both current and former members of the band have made points to annually stop and feel the love from Clearwater or St. Pete. In fact, guitarist Steve Howe’s lineup of the band, along with the Alan Parsons Project, were scheduled to appear at Ruth Eckerd Hall last weekend. Unfortunately, the show was added to the ever-bulging list of events axed due to COVID-19 concerns.
Joining Anderson will be School Of Rock founder Paul Green, along with students from the Paul Green Rock Academy to serve as the backup band to prog rock’s most beloved pixie. And if this show even subtly resembles his performance promoting his 1000 Hands album at the same venue last May, this is not a night any Yes fan will want to miss.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, and will start at $59.
