Episode 132: Saga Guitarist Ian Crichton Talks New Six By Six Album

My guest, Ian Crichton, has long been an underrated yet exciting guitarist primarily known for his work in the Canadian progressive pop/rock band Saga. Ian's still a member of that band, but he's also in an exciting trio called Six By Six with vocalist/bassist/keyboardist Robert Berry and Saxon drummer Nigel Glockler. Six By Six dropped its sophomore album, Beyond Shadowland, today, and like the debut record, it's full of melodic hard rock with pop sensibility and a bit of complexity that keeps things interesting. Ian was kind enough to tell me about his background, joining Six By Six, and the new record. Learn more about it at SixBySixBand.com.
