Classic Pop Icons

Roger Hodgson, co-founder of Supertramp, begins his Breakfast in America Tour on August 11 in Costa Mesa, California.

Hodgson has also announced that a new live collection titled “Classics Live 2” is on the way.

During his time with Supertramp, Hodgson wrote and sang some classic hits, including “Give a Little Bit,” “Take the Long Way Home,” “Dreamer,” “The Logical Song,” “It’s Raining Again,” and “Breakfast in America.” The band achieved albums sales of over 60 million.

Hodgson’s live show comprises Supertramp favourites such as “Child of Vision,” “Fool’s Overture,” “Hide in Your Shell,” “Even in the Quietest Moments,” and “School,” as well as tracks from his solo albums, including “Only Because of You,” “Lovers in the Wind,” and “In Jeopardy.”

Three decades have passed since Hodgson was a chart force with Supertramp, but his voice and stage presence are intact, as evidenced by some exceptional reviews of recent shows:

• “The power of the music was indisputable with many of the audience in tears of joy at the memories and emotions the songs evoked. It was like seeing Supertramp back in their heyday.” – Evening Herald
• “Frequently entertaining the audience with stories about the origins of his songs, Hodgson connects deeply with the fans in a way few stars of his stature do.” – San Diego Reader
• “Remarkably, the humble musical legend is back and his signature voice sounds stronger than ever… to see and hear Roger Hodgson in concert today is simply to experience a sort of musical homecoming.” – Rolling Stone
• “This is the real deal: a legendary music man, in brilliant form and shimmering presence, supported by a tight, terrific band. When you can catch a show, go. An evening with Roger Hodgson will raise your standards of concert-going.” – Huffington Post.
