Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we were delighted to welcome Yes drummer Jay Schellen back on the YMP. Just like last time, we had a lovely conversation and Jay shared his thoughts about the forthcoming UK and European Fragile Tour as well as the new Yes album that is now being prepared for release in July (hopefully). It's clear from our interview that Jay is totally committed to the future development of the band and believes that the new album will be warmly received. We look forward to that, of course. What unexpected item does Jay take with him on tour? How does his kit differ from Alan White's Has Jay been more involved in the writing of the forthcoming album than his previous Yes records? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Drama and Fragile Live - last time! YES - FRAGILE UK TOUR 2026 YES Receive Stunning Reviews from USA leg of their FRAGILE tour, which they bring to the UK in April and May 2026. “Yes, quite possibly the most important Prog Rock originators and granddaddies of the genre, delivered deep cuts and their groundbreaking classic album, “Fragile,” in its glorious, delightfully indulgent, layered, and ambitious grandiosity tonight.” Sonic Nation, 11/10/25 “Prog-rock stalwarts Yes took the stage...bringing new energy to their classic sound.” --Danielle Modica, NYS Music, 10/9/25 “Truly prog rock at its finest, if I do say so myself. They've still got the groove, the intensity, and the mythicality that established them as such a unique act over 50 years ago.” Rock DNA Magazine - 5 stars – 5/10/25 Progressive Rock legends, YES, recently returned from the USA where they performed 31 shows on their Fragile Tour across the country. They hit the road in the UK once more for a 9-date trek across the country starting on 22nd April at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow and ending with a two-night run at the prestigious Palladium in London on 3rd and 4th May. The tour will see YES performing their 1971 classic album, ‘Fragile', in its entirety, including such timeless songs as ‘Heart of the Sunrise', ‘South Side of the Sky' and the much loved ‘Roundabout' as well as a selection of songs from right across their illustrious catalogue from their legendary 70`s releases right up to their current album, ‘Mirror To the Sky.' ‘Fragile' was the fourth album by YES cracking the Top 10 in the UK in 1971 achieving Platinum status along the way and was the first to feature keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The single, ‘Roundabout' was a Top 20 hit in the States with the album breaking into the Top 5 on the Billboard chart receiving a Double Platinum certification in the process. Steve Howe: “After The Yes Album, everything seemed to align. With Eddie Offord co-producing, and each of us contributing solo pieces, Fragile became a bold statement of creativity. It was Bill Bruford's idea to include individual showcases—it was a bit oddball, but it captured the spirit of the time.” Each show will feature a gallery of work by esteemed artist, Roger Dean, whose paintings have graced the covers of many of YES albums over the years. ‘Fragile' was the first YES album to feature Dean`s iconic artwork. The current line-up of YES features Steve Howe, whose association with Yes began in 1970, along with Geoff Downes, a member of the 1980 ‘Drama' era line-up. Jon Davison has been lead vocalist in Yes since 2012 while bassist, Billy Sherwood, who was hand-picked by original bassist Chris Squire, has been involved with YES since 1990`s. Jay Schellen, who worked closely with Alan White on drums, completes the line-up. Steve Howe: “We're all looking forward to the UK dates and will be presenting an intriguing first set then all of ‘Fragile', in its entirety then a slight diversion before our usual final encore. See you all then” The ‘Fragile' UK Tour Dates 2026 Wed 22nd April Glasgow Royal Concert Hall glasgowlife.org.uk Fri 24th April Sheffield City Hall sheffieldcityhall.co.uk Sat 25th April Liverpool Philharmonic Hall liverpoolphil.co.uk Mon 27th April Birmingham Symphony Hall bmusic.co.uk Tue 28th April Bournemouth Pavilion bournemouthpavillion.co.uk Thur 30th April Bristol Beacon bristolbeacon.org Fri 1st May Manchester Bridgewater Hall bridgewater-hall.co.uk Sun 3rd May London Palladium lwtheatres.co.uk Mon 4th May London Palladium lwtheatres.co.uk Tickets (subject to booking fees) go on general sale on Friday 19th September at 10am from BookingsDirect.com About YES Steve Howe: guitars, backing vocals (1970 –1981, 1990–1992, 1995–present) Geoff Downes: keyboards (1980–1981, 2011–present) Jon Davison: lead vocals, acoustic guitar (2012–present) Billy Sherwood: guitar, backing vocals ((1994, 1997–2000), bass guitar, backing vocals (2015–present) Jay Schellen: drums and percussion (2016-present) Formed in 1968 by Jon Anderson and the late Chris Squire with guitarist Steve Howe joining in 1971 for ‘The Yes Album', YES have been one of the most innovative, influential and best-loved bands in rock music history.

Face the Music: An Electric Light Orchestra Song-By-Song Podcast
After departing Yes during the sessions for the follow-up to 1978's Tormato, Jon Anderson took his songs with him. They formed the backbone of his second solo album, Song of Seven, in 1980. The album is a hodgepodge of different styles, ranging from the folksy stuff he wanted to do with Yes to more progressive music. Unfortunately, it doesn't make for a satisfying follow-up to Olias of Sunhillow.

On this Steven's Vinyl Adventures episode, Steven talks about Asia in Asia, the 1983-recorded live album, in honor of the current Asia lineup paying tribute to that setlist on their Japanese tour! But first, some Record Store Day announcements involving Yes, Jon Anderson, and Bill Bruford. And perhaps a sprinkling of Rick Wakeman news, because, why not? Tune in!
TalkErie.com - The Joel Natalie Show - Erie Pennsylvania Daily Podcast
On Thursday, we had President Jon Anderson of the Pennsylvania Western University join us to discuss the moves the university is making to revise its academic array of offerings for undergraduate and graduate students.
Jon Anderson has been President and Publisher of Simon & Schuster Children's since 2009, after a career in both publishing and bookselling that began at age 16 at a B. Dalton mall store in South Dakota. His journey through Barnes & Noble, Penguin, and Perseus to his current position is one marked by creativity, humor, and iconic books and brands, from Mad Libs to Nancy Drew.
The Wolf & Action Jackson were so pleased that Oliver Wakeman agreed to come on First Concert Memories to talk about the first time he saw his father Rick, Rock N Roll Hall of Famer and longtime keyboardist in Yes, on a large arena stage. Though he'd seen Rick play with his solo band many times at theaters as he grew up, he never saw Rick in Yes until the Union Tour in 1991. So when Jon Anderson became disillusioned with the pop leanings of Yes in the late 1980s, he gathered former Yes bandmates Steve Howe, Bill Bruford and his pal Rick Wakeman to form their own version of Yes. Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman & Howe not only would release a self-titled album with lead single Brother of Mine in 1988, but would embark on an arena tour billed as An Evening of Yes Music Plus. Oliver and his brother were invited to America to join their father for a week and see 5-6 ABWH shows at the end of the summer of 1988. Oliver shares stories of seeing his dad on the big stage with the other legends of Yes and learning firsthand just how big a star Rick was (and is today). From there we deviate to how a mixing session for the ABWH single I'm Alive actually lead to his eventual tenure in Yes from 2008-2011. Oliver shares how he got up to speed on all the tunes, eventually recording an album with Yes and fun memories from the road. He has a 20th anniversary re-release of his 7th solo album Mother's Ruin coming out March 13, 2026 (click his website below to order) and is embarking on his first tour with Rick in the US in March also. And he'll be touring with his band in the UK in April and November to visit From A Page, his album with Yes. We find Oliver's articulate musings and respect for the fans refreshing and we encourage you to see him live in the US, UK or Europe this year if possible!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I continue our mini series about solo songs that could have been Yes songs and this time it's Jon Anderson's turn. As we did last week with Steve Howe, we listened to Jon's first three solo albums - Olias of Sunhillow, Song of Seven and Animation. We chose just one song from each record that we think could have worked on a Yes album and discussed our reasons. It was very interesting, once again, to note the dramatic differences in approach that Jon went through from 1976 to 1982. In some ways, I think Anderson went the opposite direction to Howe, as you'll hear. How does Jon Anderson's solo approach change over the years? How easy is it to spot songs that could have been on yes albums? Who collaborated with Jon on these three records?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius Preston Frazier This week Mark and I welcomed our longstanding friend, Preston Frazier, onto the show to talk about his (relatively) new book, ‘Yes Indeed - Yes without Jon Anderson'. It's a fascinating and very different kind of Yes book, as you'll discover. As always, Preston was full of fun, even when we posed him some of the most difficult questions we have ever asked on the YMP. He took these in his stride, of course and I'm sure you will enjoy the conversation as much as we did. Why did Preston write this book? What was his approach? Is this book similar to any other books about Yes? Let us know what you think in the comments below. In “Yes Indeed: Tales from Yes Without Jon Anderson,” music journalist Preston M. Frazier delves into the transformative eras of the legendary progressive rock band Yes during the times when their iconic frontman, Jon Anderson, was absent. Through meticulous research and insightful analysis, Frazier chronicles the band's resilience and evolution, shedding light on the albums, tours, and lineup changes that defined these pivotal periods. This compelling narrative offers readers a deeper understanding of Yes's enduring legacy and their ability to innovate beyond expectations.

You jump straight into the deep end with Richie Castellano as you explore what happens when preparation collides with opportunity. You follow his path from mixing weddings to standing behind massive analog rigs, wrangling six guitar channels, chasing down mysterious hums, and learning fast that the gremlins always show up when you least expect them. When the call comes to go from being Blue Oyster Cult’s sub sound engineer to bass player in four days with 21 songs to learn, the lesson is clear: play something you know, rehearse smart, and build a Just In Case bag that saves the gig. Success is not luck. It is preparation meeting the moment, and you are either ready or you are not. In order to Always Be Performing you need to Always Be Preparing! As the conversation deepens, you learn how adaptability gets and keeps gigs, from joining the culture of a band to solving problems so painlessly you become indispensable. Richie breaks down the craft of learning, teaching, and arranging vocal harmonies, including Yes music at the highest level, where not nailing the vocals means the whole thing falls apart. You hear why simplifying is sometimes the smart move, how spreadsheets can ease rehearsals, and why blending matters more than showing off. The episode closes with practical wisdom on collaboration with front of house, constant communication inside the band, and surrounding yourself with people on the same mission. This is a masterclass in being prepared, predictable, drama-free, and trusted when it counts. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 516 – Monday, January 12th, 2026 January 12th: National Hot Tea Day Guest co-host: Richie Castellano NAMM coming up!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius Well, here we are - 14 years and 700 episodes of the Yes Music Podcast. Thank you to Miguel Falcão who has created the new jingles for 700 episodes and thank you to everyone who has sent messages of congratulation. I've inserted the audio ones fairly randomly throughout the show but I'll start with a few written ones. Over on Twitter or X, Oliver Wakeman said, “A fantastic achievement. I've been fortunate to be a guest on a number of occasions. Congratulations!” Thank you Oliver. Julio Scissors (@captainjellico) said, “Congrats! Love your show!” and Jon Anderson pic of the day (@JonAndersonpic1) also said, “Congrats!” Thank you both. As you'll hear, Mark and I had an enjoyable conversation about a particular Yes 700 topic and then there's some actual music from Steve Howe. Stay tuned for that! What Yes '700' topic have we come up with? Who has sent messages of congratulation? What Steve Howe music do we play? A fantastic achievement.

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius The Dark Days Of Yesterday - Projekt Gemineye - the new album by our own Mark Anthony K! Mark says: "This is the 10th studio album! Wow…if you would have told me that id release 10 albums..I'm not sure if I would believe it.This is a rather personal album for me….lyrically speaking. Its talks about some of the darker times in my life….i dont get too specific about things..not only because they are difficult memories…but also so that they can be relatable other people as well.Musically and production wise.. I'm very pleased with it and i hope you enjoy it as well." https://projektgemineye.bandcamp.com/album/the-dark-days-of-yesterday From a tiny idea I had about Jon Anderson's use of instruments live with Yes, Mark and I managed to bang on for ages again this week. Hopefully, you will find the discussion as interesting as we did, particularly as I noticed some definite links between the band's sonic changes over the decades, Jon's development as a musician and the instruments he used. In order to create some kind of helpful structure to the conversation, I managed to find the earliest examples of each kind of instrument Jon uses live in the photos on the amazing Forgotten Yesterdays website and I have embedded them into the show notes here - do take a look at those and add a comment if you can think of any other Yeskit Jon used live with the band - or add a comment even if you can't. What are all the instruments Jon used live with Yes? When did he start playing tuned instruments? What can we glean about the band amd about Jon from his choice of instruments? See if you agree with us and then leave a comment below.

In today's episode, I'm playing around with some music from one of my favorite soundtracks, Legend, using the score done by Tangerine Dream. There's a piece in there I have always liked, called "The Unicorn Theme" and the same melody and chords get used in the ending song for the theatrical release in a ballad with vocals done by Jon Anderson called "Loved by the Sun" with the Tangerine Dream synths in the background. When I first heard it, I thought it was an odd mix, with neither of them really fitting together, and I was always vaguely irritated they didn't just make "The Unicorn Theme" longer (the track on the score doesn't use all the bars heard in the film), but as I have gotten older, I have comes to really like "Loved by the Sun." It is not an easy song to sing nor play (at least for me), as it requires a pretty big range. I'm trying it today on the piano with just chords, which I found harder than the guitar, which I find easier to play for certain things (this being one of them). That said, I think it'd sound great on the piano blended in with the notes from "The Unicorn Theme" since that is essentially what they did in the film, if I recall. I'm going to play around with over the net week or so and see what I come up with.

Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.comAttend a Thriving Leader event: https://www.themomentumcompany.com/thrivingleader2026Instagram: @the.momentum.companyLinkedIn: /momentum-companyThis EMERGENCY EPISODE of The Intentional Ag Leader Podcast is a candid conversation between Mark Jewell, Christine Jewell, and Jon Anderson from The Momentum Company—sparked by a growing crisis across the ag industry: burnout. After witnessing multiple leaders and clients lose relationships, energy, and clarity to the grind, the team takes a bold stand.They unpack why exhaustion and “survival mode” have become the norm, how to recognize when you've crossed into burnout, and what leaders can actually do to create healthy, high-performance cultures without sacrificing their families or sanity.Key Takeaways1. Burnout Has Become the New Normal—But It Doesn't Have to Be.Christine exposes how many leaders have normalized exhaustion and anxiety as “just part of the job.” Like a car that's always red-lined, most people are running their systems to the brink without realizing the damage being done.2. Survival Mode Is Not Success.Jon shares how too many people have set their bar at “survive well.” The Momentum standard is higher—leaders must thrive, not just cope. When burnout goes unchecked, it often leads to breakdowns in performance, relationships, and even marriage.3. Redefine What Success Looks Like.Christine challenges leaders to re-evaluate their metrics. True success isn't how many meetings or tasks you complete—it's how much peace, clarity, and meaningful connection you cultivate. Redefining success changes every decision that follows.4. Alignment Creates Capacity.Burnout doesn't only come from doing too much—it comes from doing too much of the wrong things. When leaders focus on the 20% of work that moves the mission forward, they gain energy and clarity instead of losing it.5. Audit and Adjust Constantly.Burnout prevention requires regular self-audits: Is this still working? Are our systems, meetings, and routines producing results—or just motion? Awareness and recalibration are the keys to sustained energy and performance.6. Leadership Requires Leverage.Mark and Christine share real-world coaching stories showing how delegation and clear systems aren't luxuries—they're leadership essentials. Leaders who refuse to train and release others become the bottleneck that drives burnout.7. The Daily Brief Practice.Mark introduces his “Daily Brief” ritual—a 10-minute morning email he writes to Christine that combines logistics, reflection, and gratitude. It's become a powerful grounding tool for communication, clarity, and peace at home.Notable Quotes“Most people don't even realize they're burnt out because they've normalized the pressure cooker.” — Christine Jewell“We've mistaken surviving for thriving. That's not the standard.” — Jon Anderson“Just because it's hard doesn't mean you quit—it means you've been given an opportunity to grow.” — Mark Jewell“We don't have a time management problem; we have an energy management and clarity problem.” — Christine Jewell“When you define success by how...
