There's a generation gap being bridged at the Kessler Theater. Jon Anderson, the former lead singer of one of the world's first progressive rock bands, Yes, has traded in the big stage for a more intimate solo set. The show is billed as a "Storytellers" performance, in which Anderson will likely share in-depth stories about the songs he'll perform. Joining him will be Polyphonic Spree leader Tim DeLaughter for his first ever solo performance. It will be interesting to see how the music of these two completely different artists translates when the many layers and bombast are stripped away.
