Steve Hackett's brother John put together a band for touring after the release of his solo album Another Life. The guitarist in that band was Nick Fletcher, and the increasing collaboration between both musicians pave the way for the album Beyond the Stars (2018).

Bios:

John Hackett
British flute player born 13 March 1955, the younger brother of Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett. He also plays guitar, bass, bass pedals and keyboards. He started performing and recording with his brother, and making guest contributions to albums such as Anthony Phillips's The Geese and the Ghost.
On the classical side, he played with The English Flute Quartet and the Westminster Camerata.
Since 2004, John focused on releasing solo albums. In 2005, Checking Out of London was a neo-progressive album co-produced with Nick Magnus, and with the lyrical contribution of Nick Clabburn. This was followed by a sophomore effort in the same style, Another Life (2015), with the aforementioned collaborators, and his brother Steve contributing guitar.
Supporting the release of Another Life, a band was formed with John (guitars, keys, vocals), Nick Fletcher (lead guitar), Duncan Parsons (drums, percussion, vocals) and Jeremy Richardson (bass, guitars, vocals).
They started to perform as the John Hackett Band in 2016, being their live debut album We Are Not Alone released in 2017, followed by their first studio effort Beyond The Stars (2019), credited now to both John hackett and Nick Fletcher.

Nick Fletcher
English guitarist born in Sheffield, 1960. He started to play at the age of 12, and by 1976, inspired by Steve Hackett, Jan Akkerman and Steve Howe, Nick moved to the classical guitar and, impressed by the legendary Andres Segovia, he get serious about the instrument, so he studied for three years with David Taplin at Huddersfield School Of Music, where also became interested in jazz masters, such as Ralph Towner and Bill Connors, and started to write music. By 1980, Nick met Dave Bainbridge (Strawbs, Iona) and they put together the band Plan B. They also played together in a jazz fusion band called Staircase. Later he formed another fusion band called Trivial Pursuit. By the 1990s, the classical guitar was again the main musical focus for Nick.
By 2016, however, he was back to prog-rock and fusion quarters with the John Hackett Band.
