SAGA to play first US show in 22 years in New York City!
/24-7PressRelease/ - July 13, 2006 - Revered Canadian prog rockers SAGA will be making their triumphant return to US shores on Saturday, July 22nd @ BB King's in New York City.
Touring off their 17th album, Trust (their first new release for Inside Out Music), SAGA plan on making their appearance at B.B. King's a special event.
"We haven't worked out a set yet, but I would think we're going to do something similar to what we did on the European tour," begins singer Michael Sadler. "After not playing in the states for 22 years, some people think we might have disappeared - we just went on a long vacation from the country. And if you think about it, we've been rehearsing for this show for 22 years."
According to Sadler, the new album, Trust has had more selections performed live than any of their albums in recent memory, giving the fans something to look forward to.
"The set will be a cross-section of new and old," notes Sadler. "But we're playing 4-5 songs off the new album which is something we rarely do. I guess that says something about how much the fans like Trust."
For Sadler, returning to the states will rekindle a lot of fond memories, some of which are still fresh in his mind.
"The US was great the last time we were over," enthuses Sadler. "We did five or six tours in a row with bands like Jethro Tull, Pat Benetar and Billy Squire. I didn't expect us to be so well received, but we were getting a great reception every night. I remember the audiences in the US being more excitable than the ones in Europe. The Europeans tend to watch and listen while we're playing - the Americans are a lot more animated. I can't wait."
The show will be recorded live and will be broadcasted on XM Satellite Radio's "Fine Tuning" program.
SAGA's latest album, Trust, is in stores now. Look for their upcoming live DVD to hit stores in early fall.
