SAGA To Debut New Singer Rob Moratti In Mount Forest, Ontario
June 13, 2008, 16 years ago
Canadian rockers SAGA announced their new singer, Toronto resident Rob Moratti, in April. Now it is time for them to take the stage for the first time with Rob in Mount Forest, Ontario on the same bill as KIM MITCHELL at the Old Roxy Theatre in Mount Forest, Ontario on June 20th. Tickets are $35-$60 and can be found at www.ticketmaster.ca, (416) 870 8000 or at the Old Roxy box office (519) 323 0433.
Rob Moratti, formerly of FINAL FRONTIERS, is equipped with a voice that will appeal to Saga’s fan base. His presence and range fit perfectly with Saga’s classic sound and it was obvious at the auditions that he was the one.
Saga are currently writing songs for a new album together with Rob and hope to be playing more shows around Canada and South America this year and return to Europe spring 2009 promoting the new album.
