'Saga' History:
AboutSaga is a progressive rock quintet, formed in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Bassist-keyboardist Jim Crichton (b. February 26, 1953) and Welsh-born vocalist Michael Sadler (b. July 5, 1954) have been the principal songwriters for Saga. Ian Crichton (b. August 3, 1956) is the band's guitarist; apart from his work with Saga, he has recorded several solo albums as well as sessions with Asia. The band's keyboardist, Jim "Daryl" Gilmour (b. February 25, 1958), replaced Greg Chadd in 1980 (Chadd replaced original member Peter Rochon -who left the band to become a music equipment company executive fulltime- after the first album). After the 2003 Marathon tour, Steve Negus (b. February 19, 1952) announced his retirement as Saga's original drummer. Christian Simpson, a Canadian-American, replaced Negus for 2004's "Network" album, until sidelined by a neurological condition that affected his drumming. In late 2005, former Helix member Brian Doerner became Saga's third drummer in as many years. |
