It has been over fifty years since the release of the eponymous 1967 debut album from the legendary Ten Years After. The British band may be best known for their 1971 Platinum selling album, “A Space in Time”, which featured the iconic Top 40 hit, “I’d Love to Change the World”, a song that remains as relevant today as when it was first released some fifty years ago.

The beginning of Ten Years After’s meteoric rise to fame can be pinpointed to their performance at The Woodstock Music and Arts Festival in August of 1969. The audience was blown away by the intensity of the band’s performance and their unique combination of jazz, blues, and rock. Their fantastic nine-minute rendition of “I’m Going Home” was featured in both the subsequent film and soundtrack album and catapulted them to international star status. This would make them one of the biggest bands of the early
’70s.

Original members Ric Lee (drums) and Chick Churchill (keys) have continued the band’s legacy and are rounded out by multi-award-winning guitarist/vocalist, Marcus Bonfanti, and bass icon, Colin Hodgkinson. This line-up has been performing across the globe since 2014, as well as releasing the studio album, “A Sting in the Tale”, in 2017, followed by the live album, “Naturally Live”, in 2019. Both albums were reissued in North America with Deluxe Editions through Deko Entertainment/Warner Brothers in 2021.
