SUPERTRAMP Co-Founder ROGER HODGSON Set for Fall Tour

Roger Hodgson, legendary vocalist and singer-songwriter from Supertramp, is heading back to North America for a series of fall dates. Following extensive tours of Europe and South America, Hodgson kicks off his North American tour on Nov. 4th in Wabash, Indiana.



Hodgson co-founded the progressive rock band Supertramp in 1969 and was with them for 14 years. He helped define a generation of progressive rock and wrote and sang Supertramp’s globally successful and enduring anthems such as “Breakfast in America,””Give a Little Bit,””Take the Long Way Home,””The Logical Song,””Dreamer,””It’s Raining Again,””School,” and “Fool’s Overture”  - songs that helped the band sell well over 60 million albums.

Hodgson is recognized as one of the most gifted composers and lyricists of our time. He has twice been recognized by ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) for his songs being in the top played songs in their repertory, proving that they have indeed stood the test of time.

Accompanied by a four-piece band, Roger continues to perform all his hits that he recorded with Supertramp plus other classics – such as “Child of Vision,””Hide in Your Shell,””Sister Moonshine,””Even in the Quietest Moments,” plus favorites from his solo albums – “Only Because of You,””Lovers in the Wind,” and “In Jeopardy” – many of which can be found on his current CD release, Classics Live.

Uniting generations, Hodgson is transporting baby boomers back to their youth while giving younger concertgoers a taste of why his heartfelt songs have endured.  North American audiences are once again preparing to experience the magic and spirit that Hodgson created with Supertramp.
