America\u2019s preeminent progressive rock band Kansas embarks this summer on a series of 50 landmark performances at some of the foremost theaters and performing arts centers across America and into Canada. The \u201cAnother Fork In The Road\u201d Tour celebrates 50 years of the band\u2019s illustrious music history with concerts featuring two full hours of memorable hits, fan favorites and deep cuts rarely performed live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a recent tribute to the band\u2019s five decades of success, Billboard Magazine describes the basis for their longstanding appeal: \u201cBlending blues-based hard rock and intricate progressive constructions, Kansas staked out its own musical territory, at once original and accessible.\u201d Billboard.com – KANSAS Hits 50 \u201cOur entire career has been a winding journey,\u201d comments KANSAS guitarist and original member Richard Williams. \u201cWhether it\u2019s been the \u2018original\u2019 lineup signing with Don Kirshner, years on the bus, touring with Queen, and finally worldwide success peaking with Leftoverture & Point of Know Return.\u201d Williams goes on to remember, \u201cThat was followed by various lineup changes, the valleys of the 90\u2019s and \u2018dinosaur bands\u2019 losing steam, to our most recent \u2018rebirth\u2019 and success of our latest new music over the last eight years.\u201d He concludes, \u201cThere have been several forks in the road of that journey. This 50th Anniversary Tour and release will represent that journey and the forks along that road.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n To further celebrate the band\u2019s 50th Anniversary, InsideOutMusic has released Another Fork in the Road \u2013 50 Years of KANSAS. The 3-CD career-spanning collection features carefully selected tracks from across KANSAS\u2019s sizable discography. It also includes a new version of the song \u2018Can I Tell You.\u2019 Originally released on their 1974 debut album, the song is updated by the current lineup. Another Fork in the Road \u2013 50 Years of KANSAS is available now. Fans can order it here – https:\/\/kansas.lnk.to\/AnotherForkInTheRoad-50YearsOfKansas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m incredibly excited about the 50th Anniversary Tour,\u201d adds lead vocalist Ronnie Platt. \u201cI tell people I\u2019m not allowed to create a setlist, because it would be five hours long. There are so many songs I want to perform live. I think fans will be excited not only to hear our hits and fan favorites spanning 50 years of KANSAS, but also some songs that haven\u2019t been performed live in decades.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n With no signs of slowing down, KANSAS continues to perform in front of large and enthusiastic audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KANSAS 50th ANNIVERSARY TOUR \u2013 ANOTHER FORK IN THE ROAD CONFIRMED DATES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n DATE<\/strong> <\/strong>CITY<\/strong> <\/strong>VENUE<\/strong> For more information on KANSAS and the Another Fork in the Road \u2013 50th Anniversary Tour, please visit:<\/strong> America\u2019s preeminent progressive rock band Kansas embarks this summer on a series of 50 landmark…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20000,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,2],"tags":[226,1825,125,51],"class_list":["post-19999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","category-news","tag-classic-rock","tag-kansas","tag-prog","tag-progressive-rock"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19999"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19999\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20001,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19999\/revisions\/20001"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
