Funnily enough, Saga found their new vocalist just 2 days after my first Saga post. No wonder no-one signed the petition! It would have been a very cool way for Saga to get some much needed publicity though. It's truly unfortunate that Saga is nearly unknown in the U.S. --at least to 99.9% of people under 35. If Rush is the king of Canadian prog rock bands, Saga is certainly a prince!
So, just who is Rob Moratti anyway? At the moment, there's relatively little reliable information on the internet except the Final Frontier page on myspace.com, the news on the official Saga site, and the interview (linked above) on the AOR Dream Zones site. Assuming the birth date on the latter site is correct, Rob is nearly a year younger than me! It seems that he released 2 albums under his name and 4 albums with Final Frontier. Though his voice is noticeably different from Michael Sadler's, I do see great potential for him as the new Saga lead vocalist. I am looking forward to hearing his unique contributions to Saga's music; both new and old.

Rob Moratti is a wonderful and powerful vocalist and wrote some awesome songs with his longtime friend, producer and guitarist from Final Frontier, Mladen Haze! Saga should allow Mladen to join the band and help produce their future offerings since the Human Condition album lacks the quality lyrics found on all of the Final Frontier albums!
