Yes + Toto = Yoso (no, really)!

Yoso has been formed by Toto’s lead vocalist Bobby Kimball and former Yes members, Tony Kaye and Billy Sherwood. According to the press release “Yoso is much more than a combination of two classic rock groups. The band’s debut album “Elements” will debut July 2nd in Europe and July 23rd in the USA on Frontiers Records. This long awaited release comes with a bonus live CD where the band plays some old and new classics. This musical blend presents a fascinating combination of the sound of YES (“90125″/”Big Generator” era) and TOTO, with a very interesting and original sound that truly encompasses the styles.”

Their mission is “to make the next decade one where their music will stand the test of time holding up alongside their classic rock roots”.

“Yoso was started when I suggested to Bobby Kimball we should write some new music and form a band,” recalls Sherwood. “We had been working together on various tribute projects that I was producing and one thing lead to another. Before too long we had 5 songs in the can and were well on our way to making a record. That is when we started thinking seriously about taking it to the next level”.

The Yoso line-up was later rounded out with Johnny Bruhns as the guitarist and Scott Conner on drums, percussion and backing vocals.
