Christmas Eve, 2007
I guess it is that time again for a little reflection on the year's past events.
One thing's for sure, we're all another year older and hopefully wiser than we were this time last year.
There were good moments and not so good moments.
Most of us will remember the good ones and forget the others.
My son Stephen is now taller than me! "Dare to Dream" is complete, and now it is time to get the Negus band on the road.
So, thank you once again to all of the very loyal supporters out there, a very Merry Christmas to all, and Nicole and I wish everyone the best in 2008!
-Steve and Nicole
Happy Holidays to All

It seems that Saga has decided to use Chris Sutherland from Kim Mitchell's band to play drums on the upcoming tour. It was very strange that they knew this last night when I played with them in Brantford, Ontario, but neglected to tell me.
I wish Chris all the best with the tour, and I am sorry that I won't see all the loyal supporters on this one, but I hope to be touring in Europe with my new band soon!
Regards to all and best wishes to Brian Doerner.

I just read on Michael Sadler's forum that Brian won't be playing on the Saga European tour that starts in a couple of weeks.
At this time, we have only discussed me playing the two shows, Toronto and Brantford (tonight). Let's wait and see what the band has in mind. Details as they happen.
All the best,
Steve

Steve is looking forward to playing with the boys for Michael Sadler's farewell tour.

On August 18th, the Negus band had their first show in Dorset Ontario.
The whole band went up to a forty seven acre resort on Lake Kawagama just outside of Dorset Ontario. We rehearsed about 12 hours a day all week and then played a two hour show on the Saturday. It was a wonderful week!
Special thanks to the dedication of my band:
Ian Nielson on bass, keys and vocals, Kelly Kereliuk on guitar and vocals, Matt Whale on keys and vocals, and of course, Al Langlade singing and playing guitar and keys.
The show consisted of some Saga songs, a song from Fludd, a song from Chris de Burgh, a song from the GNP CD, and all of the songs from the new Dare to Dream CD.
Special guest Tony Aquino came up and sang a duet with Al, (In Your Eyes from the GNP CD - a special dedication to Robbie Rae who passed away last year).
The band is eager to start touring and I am just in the process of putting that together.

Unfortunately the festival in Hamilton on Monday September 3rd has been postponed, so there will be no performance in Hamilton with the new band on that date. New dates will be posted when they are booked.

The Dare to Dream CD is done, just waiting for the artwork to be printed. The new band is together and we play our first gig August 18th, in Dorset Ontario. There are a few tickets available still. Send email for details. The band, Ian Nielsen on bass, Kelly Kereliuk on guitar, Matt Whale on keys, Al Langlade on vocals and guitar, and yours truly on drums.
The t-shirts, hats, and golf shirts are also ready and the e-commerce for those and the CDs will be up shortly. Also, more good news, the second gig, Monday September 3rd,
in Hamilton at Bayfront park. Only fitting, considering that was my farewell gig with Saga four years ago. That is the latest...more to follow as usual.
All the best,
Steve
