A tribute to the music of YES
YES fans around the globe have marveled at the sonic accuracy of Awaken’s performances. Agreed by many to be the finest YES tribute band in the world. Awaken blends the legendary classic sounds of YES’ studio albums with the energy and drive of their live performances. Awaken has performed in some of the most prestigious venues and casinos in the Northeast including Foxwoods Casino Resort, The Golden Nugget Casino, The Hard Rock Casino Resort, The Iconic Stanley Theater and The Stadium Theater, just to name a few (a list of these venues and more is available on the band’s website under the tour section). Their schedule is ever expanding and they have even garnered the attention and appreciation of YES founder and vocalist Jon Anderson who states about Awaken:
“Really enjoy seeing you guys do your wonderful renditions of YES music… done with such reverence and musically spot on … bravissimo to you all …. love and light …. Jon”
Awaken’s stage show and musical repertoire are an epic tribute to the “prog-rock” icons and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers YES. Awaken tours with the latest in digital audio technology and combines that technology with an HD quality video presentation and “world-class” musicianship. Two of Awaken’s members have previously worked closely with Jon Anderson (co-founder and frontman of YES) and Billy Sherwood (YES producer and current YES bassist). An Awaken show is one a fan of music should not miss!
