Shine Delirious - Bringing the epic splendor of classic Yes music to the stage is no easy feat. From the contrapuntal singing, to the ripping guitar riffs, to the deconstructionist and forward-thinking rhythms and more. It is a lot to tackle.
Formed in 2012, San Francisco’s Shine Delirious was named in honor of Chris squire and signature bass solo ‘schindleria praematurus’. This name embraces the challenge, passion and love Shine Delirious delivers in every performance. Like Yes itself, any Shine Delirious performance is full of wonder, complexity, invention, emotion, and sheer joy.

John Giambalvo (drums/vocals) started a life of music almost from birth with five siblings all playing various instruments. He got his first drumset at age 8, and started band in his tweens playing originals and covers of the Beatles and LedZepplin. He settled in to a firm love of all things Prog Rock by age 12. John spent the 90’s playing with the Prog trio China Lake in and around Southern California before moving up north.
Rarely do such great musicians integrate so well, carving out their sonic positions while acting in clear support of eachother's intrumentation and vocals.
