a
tribute band based
in Sacramento, California
Hello - and thanks for visiting our site!
Parallels is a group of musicians who enjoy paying tribute to Yes
by playing their wonderful, timeless music.
A Parallels show features over two hours of Yes music
as we strive to re-create the experience
of hearing that amazing band perform live.
And, occasionally, we have played songs by other progressive rock legends such as:
Led Zeppelin, Kansas, Rush, Genesis, and Emerson, Lake, & Palmer.
P A R A L L E L S is:
Tim Morse: keyboards
Derek Keller: vocals
Jason Reed: guitar
Jay Leek: bass
and Jim Hefter: drums
Parallels is very excited to welcome our new vocalist, Derek Keller.
A long-time Yes fan, Derek is an accomplished musician
and composer in his own right.
We are thrilled to have him join us to bring Yes music to life!
Check out his website at derekkeller.com.

Parallels has no performances scheduled at this time.
But please check back soon for updates!
We would like to thank everyone who came out
to our recent shows in Sacramento and Walnut Creek.
We really appreciate your support -
Your enthusiasm is what makes the shows so exciting!
Thanks also to Greg Williams, who opened our recent shows on solo acoustic guitar.
And thanks to our friends in the Rush tribute, Trilogy
who invited us to join them on a double bill.
Their skill and talent at re-creating Rush is amazing
and we were thrilled to share a stage with them.
Special thanks also to Brad Gent, who flew
from Vancouver, BC to sing with us on some shows in 2006.
Formerly with the Canadian Yes tribute, Earthbound,
Brad's voice bears a thrilling resemblance to Jon Anderson's.
We are truly grateful to our dear friend Brad!

Incredible stories of true Yes fans:
Once again we salute our friend, John, who set the record
for distance traveled to a Parallels gig.
John has traveled 2000 miles -four times(!)- to see our shows
in Oakland, at the Brookdale Lodge, and Sacramento!
Special thanks also go to Genene, who arranged our Oakland show!
We'd also like to thank and recommend our friends at YesFans.com,
who've been very supportive by talking up our shows.
Thanks especially to Sheila!
