So, I have it on good authority, because I am one of the cool kids and am in the know about such things, that iconic American rock band Kansas is extending their 50th ANNIVERSARY TOUR – ANOTHER FORK IN THE ROAD.
When I spoke to the bands original and long-standing guitarist Rich Williams (name dropper that I am: see the interview here) he did indeed tell me he thought the tour, which had only just begun at the time, might be extended, as much due to how popular Kansas is (not something the very humble Mr. Williams would have said, this was my assessment at the time) as much as how much fun the band had when they played…something Mr. Williams definitely mentioned.
So, I’m not surprised.
I am thrilled that some of the dates take the band round our New Jersey way, specifically on April 26th, 2024, the band slips into the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown, NJ. Here’s the rest of the tour dates, prior to this announcement and post it: kansasband.com/tour-dates/
Most newly announced concert dates go on sale this Friday, September 15, 2023, at 10AM Local Venue Time. KANSAS Fan Club, American Express Card Holders, and other presales begin today, September 12, (today as I pot this) at 11AM Local Venue Time.
To further celebrate the band’s 50th Anniversary, InsideOutMusic has released Another Fork in the Road – 50 Years of KANSAS. The 3-CD career-spanning collection features carefully selected tracks from across KANSAS’s sizable discography (get it here).
And look for my interview with the band’s newest member violinist & guitarist Joe Deninzon, coming to these pages very soon.
