earMUSIC announces the release of SAGA’s 23rd Studio Album “Symmetry” now available for pre-order. Painstakingly produced over the course of the year, the band deftly delivers on a bold “synth free” re-imagining of their classic hits.

SAGA's new album since Sagacity  (2014) and live DVD So Good So Far (2018) -  is currently being mixed/mastered and will be released by Edel Group's earMUSIC shortly (tba). Frontman Michael Sadler announced on Facebook recently that despite stepping away from touring, co-founder and bassist Jim Crichton continues to be highly involved and once again helms this new production. Sadler coyly hints that eager fans should "expect the unexpected" and "stay tuned" for the upcoming release date.

#SAGA  JUNE 13, 2019 On June 13, 2017, SAGA celebrated their 40 year anniversary by embarking on their “Final Chapter Tour” – which saw the band performing multiple sold-out shows, as they said their farewells to the fans in Europe and North America.  The band had been on a rigorous touring schedule for some years, and this announcement came, as co-founder Jim Crichton opted to step away and recharge. After being persuaded by their loyal fans to reconsider their decision, the band promised to “close the door, but not lock it”.  Their passion for music stronger than ever, they have since adopted a more deliberate schedule, with bass player Dusty Chesterfield stepping in for Jim Crichton.  With a fresh energy and attitude, SAGA are looking forward to enjoying their time with fans and friends, worldwide.
