After wrapping the immensely popular KANSAS Collegiate Symphony Tour of Spring 2012, America\u2019s greatest progressive rock band, KANSAS, is transitioning to a more traditional tour approach for the fall.\u00a0 Without missing a beat, the band will be headlining shows in cities throughout the United States from September to November.<\/p>\n
Original member and guitar virtuoso, Richard Williams, had this to say about the fall tour, \u201cWe are really looking forward to the upcoming shows with King\u2019s X. They’re a great band and a force to be reckoned with. It’s a tour like this that allow us to dig a little bit deeper into our catalogue and play a few songs that KANSAS fans haven’t heard for a while. It’s gonna be a lot of fun!\u201d<\/p>\n
On most dates, fellow rockers King\u2019s X will support KANSAS on the tour.\u00a0 dUg Pinick stated, \u201cI’ve been a huge KANSAS fan since the beginning. I remember sitting on the floor with my friends listening to the just released record “Song for America”…fast forward years later, King’s X is going on tour with them!! It is an honor to be doing shows with them. This is gonna rock!!\u201d\u00a0 King\u2019s X is also comprised of drummer Jerry Gaskill and lead guitarist Ty Tabor.\u00a0 This tour will mark the first major tour for King\u2019s X since Gaskill\u2019s remarkable recovery from a major hear attack earlier this year.<\/p>\n
