January 23 2016 – SAGA are back in their home town (well close enough) of Toronto on Saturday February 6th 2016 at the Phoenix Concert Theater (tickets available here). Hands down one of the best Canadian rock bands ever the guys are still delivering relevant and complex music that was their trademark since the late 70’s. This show is almost exactly one year to the day that the band played here.
As if the headliner is not enough there are two other bands on the night which we endorse very highly. Suns of Stone deliver a bluesy hard rock that will surely get you warmed up nicely. You can read our review of Suns of Stone here. Next up will be the phenomenal hard prog rock of David Barrett Trio whom have a song with Michael Sadler of Saga on vocals as well as having Alex Lifeson of Rush produce their debut album. You can read our interview with David Barrett here.

The night will surely feature the band’s 1-2 punch of Wind Him Up and On The Loose which are both staples on Canadian rock radio to this day. Both of those songs were from the incredible World’s Apart album from 1981 which places firmly on my personal top 10 albums of all time.
To get you in the mood you can check out our interviews with keyboardist Jim Gilmour here and drummer Mike Thorne here.
