ASIA Featuring John Payne Background

John Payne became the frontman of the supergroup ASIA in 1992 at the invitation of keyboardist Geoff Downes, replacing vocalist/bassist John Wetton. Progressive rock band ASIA extensively toured the world for the next 14 years performing new classics and old favorites. With John Payne fronting the band, ASIA released 8 stunning studio albums and several live recordings. In 2006, Geoff Downes left the band to reform the 1982 lineup for their 25th anniversary.

On the 9th of May 2007, John Payne, Geoff Downes, John Wetton, Carl Palmer and Steve Howe contractually agreed that John Payne would continue his 14 year legacy with ASIA as “ASIA Featuring John Payne”. ASIA Featuring John Payne has been touring in North America since 2008.

British Blues Invasion

Inspired by the English musical invasion in the 1960’s, The BRITISH BLUES INVASION takes you back in time when bands like the Yardbirds, Cream, Free, John Mahall’s Blues Band and Fleetwood Mac created a novel British blues sound.

Imagine yourself at London’s premiere live venue, THE MARQUEE, in 1969. New on the scene were Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Paige, Paul Kossoff, Robin Trower, David Gilmore, Ritchie Blackmore, Rory Gallagher and Peter Green. 

Featuring John Payne, ex ASIA vocalist/frontman, ELO vocalist and co creator of the number one LAS VEGAS musical, Raiding The Rock Vault, THE BLUES INVASION celebrates those artists and more with old classic British blues favorites, and some new compositions, for a nostalgic set of hard blues.
