I hope to be there.
I'm seeing Dweezil Zappa on the 14th. 
And that week I'm on vacation.
I have to make sure my wife doesn't book something else then.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

At the risk of appearing facetious, I see three of the dates are shown as being in "Canada". What country are the other dates in then?Wink

Asheville, NC - Music legend and original YES vocalist Jon Anderson will be playing select concert dates this summer in support of his critically acclaimed new CD release 'Survival & Other Stories'. Jon Anderson, who has one of the most recognizable voices in music, and is best known for his work with YES, Vangelis and Kitaro, as well as his innovative solo efforts, recently completed a successful tour of the east coast in the US. The new leg of the tour will concentrate on the northwest US and several dates in Canada (listed below), and promises to deliver an exciting mixture of material from Jon Anderson's prolific solo career, collaborations with Vangelis and classic YES songs, along with new compositions from his new CD 'Survival & Other Stories'.

Jon Anderson Summer 2011 Tour Dates:

July 9 - Courtenay, BC Vancouver, Canada - Vancouver Island Musicfest at Exhibition Grounds
July 10 - Courtenay, BC Vancouver, Canada - Vancouver Island MusicFest at Exhibition Grounds
July 12 - Seattle, WA - The Triple Door
July 14 - Portland, OR – Aladdin Theater
July 31 – Vernon, BC, Canada – Komasket Music Festival Komasket Park
Aug. 3 - Lincolnshire, IL - Viper Alley
Aug. 5 - Saint Charles, IL - Arcada Theatre
Aug. 7 - Jerseyville, ON - Festival Of Friends Ancaster Fairgrounds (with America)
Aug. 11 - Shirley, MA - Bull Run Restaurant

Jon's recently released CD 'Survival & Other Stories' has been garnering rave reviews worldwide – here's what the press has been saying:

“His newest release, 'Survival & Other Stories', is full of wonderful arrangements, charming melodies, life-affirming themes, and of course, exquisite singing. However, it’s also bursting with Anderson’s relentless spirituality and optimism.” - Jordan Blum, Philadelphia Examiner

“Anderson, right from the first, simultaneously sounds more YES than he ever has as a solo artist and yet somehow different.” - Nick DeRiso, Something Else Reviews

“All songs are identifiable in a sense by vocal recognition, yet each has a varying metrical rhythm and unique melody which gives every song a singular timbre and atmosphere.” - John P. Olsen, New Age Music World

“It's very much in keeping with Anderson's musical visions presented in his earlier solo releases, but also crosses into some new territory. Different songs seem to reflect echoes of different periods of Anderson's career, while creating an updated vision. It's a very strong release of beauty and uplifting music.” - Gary Hill, Music Street Journal

“Unyielding optimism as a theme in both the music and the lyrics is the other bond that holds the seemingly disparate backdrops together as a proper album. Jon's spirituality and complete acceptance of all the world's religions comes through strong in the lyrics.” - Brady Lavin, Guitar International

“...the eleven track CD has a broad musical pallet full of patterns and personalities. Yet, the CD remains cohesive with Jon's distinctive singing style. Anderson still pens lyrics that are elusive but the themes of life, love and survival are evident. There are even a few lines of Yes songs subtly mixed into the creative compositions.” - Rich Lynch, Sound Press
