Jon Anderson is hitting the road with The Paul Green Rock Academy.
The Paul Green Rock Academy is 25 young musicians.
When asked about the average age Jon said, 14, 15 or 16 but also as young as 11.
The show will be a set of Yes Classics, deep cuts, mash ups, and solo works, all with lush arrangements featuring choral singing, horns, and all the other benefits of having a backing band of 25 young musicians.
