Geoff Downes looks back with UCR while also shedding some light on the rebuilt Asia lineup.

Geoff Downes debuts new band lineup in Connecticut.

He was at work on new material when John Wetton's health began to rapidly deteriorate.

Some have suggested that they should change the name before touring again.

Heat of the Moment Tour will also feature Wishbone Ash's Martin Turner, Curved Air and emcee Roger Dean.

Nothing came easy for the band on their way to scoring a second Top 10 hit.

Keyboardist Geoff Downes recalls how early achievement made them feel like they were a “gravy train” for others.

Tour dates to be announced soon.

Journey and Asia have started their joint tour, with both bands taking time to honor recently deceased Asia frontman John Wetton along the way.

John Wetton, the prog-rock stalwart who's served as singer, songwriter and bassist for a lengthy list of acts that includes Asia, King Crimson and UK, recently underwent major surgery to remove a cancerous growth.

These dates mark the American debut of Sam Coulson, who replaced Steve Howe.

Asia has begun its newest post-Steve Howe era with a song that focuses more on the evolving songwriting partnership of John Wetton and Geoff Downes than on the presence of their new 20-something guitarist.
