SUMMARY:Jon Anderson and The Band Geeks @ The Factory
DESCRIPTION:Founding Yes singer Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks–include bass player Richie Castellano\, drummer Andy Ascolese\, guitarists Andy Graziano and Rob Schmoll\, and keyboardists Christopher Clark and Robert Kipp–touring the US together playing a set of classic Yes songs.  Castellano recalled that the combination of talents is a unique recipe for success: “If you can take a band that can sound like that\, with Jon’s voice\, that’s what people want to hear.” \nJon Anderson is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable voices in progressive rock as the lead vocalist and creative force behind Yes. Anderson was the author and a major creative influence behind the series of epics produced by Yes and his role in creating such complex pieces as Close to the Edge\, Awaken\, and especially The Gates of Delirium was central to the band’s success. Additionally\, Anderson co-authored the group’s biggest hits\, including I’ve Seen All Good People\, Roundabout\, and Owner Of A Lonely Heart. \nDon’t want to miss this one! \n

SUMMARY:Selwyn Birchwood: "Electric Swamp Funkin’ Blues Tour" @ Wildey Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Live\, Birchwood is a true force of nature.  A favorite among blues fans and jam band fans alike\, his ability to win over an audience—any audience—is proven night after night. \nWith his warm\, magnetic personality\, Birchwood is as down-to-earth as his music is electrifyingly jaw-dropping.  With his band feeding off his energy\, the 6’3” musician roams the stage barefoot\, ripping out memorable guitar licks with ease\, his soulful\, rocks-and-gravel vocals impossible to ignore.  When he sits down to play his signature model Caladesi lap steel\, he magically lifts the crowd into a sweat-soaked state of blissful elation. \nBirchwood’s career took off when he was introduced to veteran blues musician Sonny Rhodes at the age of 19. Rhodes invited him to join his touring band\, where Birchwood honed his skills in performance and band leadership. He formed his own band\, the Selwyn Birchwood Band\, in 2010\, and quickly gained recognition in the blues community.  In 2013\, Birchwood achieved significant acclaim by winning the International Blues Challenge\, where he outperformed 125 other bands\, and also received the Albert King Guitarist of the Year Award.
