PRESS RELEASE
Iconic Toronto rockers SAGA return for exclusive Toronto performance
Latest album Trust released in North America this year
TORONTO, October 30 – After 30 years and millions of albums sold
worldwide, SAGA remains a household name in the
progressive rock community. Trust (Inside Out/Fusion3), their 17th studio
album, was released earlier this year around
the world. Their career was jumpstarted and propelled by their hits from
the early 80’s and the band has played in front
of a combined audience of almost 15 million fans worldwide. Saga’s
longevity speaks for itself, making them one of the
most important progressive rock acts to emerge from the Great White
North.
“This album is a continuation of our last record,” explains bandleader
Michael Sadler. “It’s different in that we very
deliberately made an attempt to revive a few of the more progressive
elements from our earlier albums. It’s something
that our fans have wanted us to do for a long time and we wanted to try
this as much as possible without limiting our
creativity.”
SAGA, who are Michael Sadler (Vocals, Keyboards), Jim Crichton (Bass,
Keyboards), Ian Crichton (Guitars), Jim Gilmour
(Keyboards, Vocals), and new drummer Brian Doerner, are returning to
their hometown of Toronto to do an exclusive
FREE in store performance – the SAGA TRUST PARTY - their first in store
performance in North America in over 10 years.
Teaming up with a legendary musical landmark and record store Sam The
Record Man located at 347 Yonge Street, just
north of Dundas, the band will perform a one hour show featuring songs
from their latest disc Trust and some of their
best known hits on Tuesday, November 21 at 7 p.m. After the performance,
the band will sign autographs for their fans.
Prizes and other surprises will be given away including a Gibson guitar!
On Trust, the band exploits its melodic rock sound to the fullest,
producing future fan-favorites like On the Other Side and
That’s As Far As I’ll Go. Elsewhere, You Were Right is an arena-ready
rocker, complete with a big, booming chorus, while
My Friend is a soft and reflective ballad that shows another dynamic side
of the band. To visit the band online, please
