“His gentle, joyful presence brings light into even a darkened room” - Eri-Chan Listens

“It was clear the audience was having a good time as they sang along with Anderson, cheered him on, danced at their tables, and gave him a standing ovation during the end of the show and the encore – the place was filled with excitement, happiness and lots of love!” Ashley Perez – Chicago Music Examiner

“The songs were clearly different....warm, and enough to remind listeners why they fell in love with YES in the first place” - John J. Moser, The Morning Call, MD
