TSO in 2020

[TSOd]

So, looks like TSO will have a 3rd tour this fall to go along with the East/West tours. Word is that it will not be geographically-specific, but focus more on smaller venues. Guessing they will hire a new cast of musicians and singers, maybe mixed in with some current performers. Any guesses who might be in this new cast?

The way I read into what Zak said is this third band will play the center of the country smaller markets smaller fan bases  smaller venues of 6-8000 that TSO East and West can't get to or are unreasonable to go to since the coasts have the biggest fan bases and arenas. Mannheim Steamroller took a page from the TSO playbook by having two touring bands and >hiring< musicians to >play the music of MS<and billed it as such: Chip Davis Presents The Music Of Mannheim Steamroller. It was not MS.  TSO is now taking a page from the MS playbook. This third band will be >hired< musicians to >play the music of TSO<. They will not be TSO as we know them. People will get the TSO show but not TSO. May as well go see 12/24 or any of the other TSO cover bands which is what this third band will be and save some money and get the smaller more intimate show some people want.
