Roger Hodgson is recognized as one of the most gifted composers, song writers and lyricists of our time. As the legendary voice of Supertramp and composer of the band's greatest hits, he gave us "Give A Little Bit", "The Logical Song", "Dreamer", "Take The Long Way Home", "Breakfast In America", It's Raining Again", "School", and "Fool's Overture" and so many others that have become the soundtrack of our lives. His trademark way of setting beautiful introspective lyrics to upbeat melodies resonated and found its way into the hearts and minds of people from cultures around the world. His songs have remarkably stood the test of time and earned Roger and Supertramp an adoring worldwide following. During the time that Roger led the band, Supertramp sold well over 60 million albums and became a worldwide rock phenomenon. In Canada alone, sales for “Crime Of The Century” and “Breakfast In America” reached Diamond status; meaning one in fifteen Canadians owned both albums. The wildly successful “Breakfast In America,” with 3 of its 4 top ten hits written and sung by Roger, hit number one in every country and stayed on the top of the charts for a full year, becoming one of the biggest selling albums of all time. Born in Portsmouth, England, Roger spent much of his childhood at boarding school where his guitar became his best friend. Self-taught, he began writing songs at age twelve, eventually adding piano, bass, drums, and even cello to his musical accomplishments. PhotobucketIt wasn’t long after his final school year that he recorded his first studio record called “Mr. Boyd” with a session band named "Argosy" that included pianist Reg Dwight, later to become known as Elton John. It was during this time that Roger met Rick Davies and the nucleus of Supertramp was born. Their initial collaborations attracted the attention of A&M Records and their first album “Supertramp” was released in August of 1970. Roger was 19. Shortly after their second album Roger and Rick began writing separately; though like Lennon/McCartney they maintained a joint writer’s credit throughout their Supertramp career. In 1974 the band released “Crime Of The Century” with Roger’s song “Dreamer” becoming a 1 hit and driving the album to the top of the charts. CrimeSupertramp had arrived. For the next nine years, dubbed by fans as the “Golden Years,” four studio albums and numerous tours culminated in the worldwide success of “Breakfast In America” which sold 18,000,000 copies. BIARoger’s songwriting, arranging, and producing skills resulted in three classic hits from the album – “The Logical Song”, “Take The Long Way Home” and “Breakfast In America.” Many awards followed with “The Logical Song” being named best song musically and lyrically at England’s prestigious Ivor Novello Awards in 1980. “The Logical Song” also had the distinction of becoming one of the most quoted lyrics in schools. Roger parted company with Supertramp in 1983 after the “Famous Last Words” album and mega rock stadium tour. Following his heart, he chose to live a simple lifestyle in nature with his new family and pursue his spiritual values. He built a state of the art recording studio at home so he could still work and be with his children as they grew up. eyeHis first solo album, “In The Eye Of The Storm”, was released in 1984 and became an international hit, selling over 2 million copies. Turning down offers to tour, Roger instead kept his focus on home and family. PhotobucketIn 1987, the same week that Roger’s second album “Hai Hai” was released, Roger took a bad fall and shattered both his wrists. Doctors told him he would never play music again. After a long period of self-healing and physical therapy, Roger proved them wrong, his passion and natural genius once again being expressed through his music. Roger would wait 10 years before releasing his next album, “Rites of Passage” Photobucketin which he was proudly accompanied by his son, Andrew. This 1997 live album fulfilled fans’ yearning for new material, as well as including a few of Roger’s classic hit’s. In 2000 Roger’s next studio album, “Open The Door,” Photobucketbrought more of his creative lyrics and composing, with songs like “Love is a Thousand Times,” which he recently recorded live on his DVD. The 2005 release “Retrospectacle – The Supertramp Anthology” is a 2 CD collection of Classic songs recorded by Supertramp from 1970 to 2005. ST-GOLDRoger wrote and sang lead on 14 of the 32 tracks, and either played or lent his creative touch to all but one track of this anthology. To this day Roger continues to write music and lyrics and has over 60 unreleased songs. He compares his writing process to an artist painting a picture, keeping it close to his heart until the picture is complete before he shares it with the world, Often drawing upon his own life experiences, Roger’s songs convey a very personal message to audiences around the world. It is only since 2002, with his children grown and a spiritual rebirth, that Roger has felt the call to tour again. The legend is back and his signature voice is stronger than ever. Currently he performs both solo and with orchestras, playing a variety of his repertoire of Supertramp and solo hits. Thirty-Five years after writing his classic song, Roger received an award for “Give A Little Bit” being one of the most performed works in the 2005 ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) repertory, proving that his music stands the test of time. In the past few years Roger has donated this song to help raise funds for Tsunami Relief, Hurricane Katrina efforts and other worthy causes. Photobucket In 2006 Roger released his first ever DVD from his live solo concert in Québec, “Take The Long Way Home – Live In Montreal” went platinum in just 7 weeks and hit 1 in all of Canada and is now multi-Platinum. Featuring hits “Take The Long Way Home”, “Give A Little Bit”, “School”, “Breakfast In America”, “It’s Raining Again” (to name a few), and a bonus orchestral version of “Fool’s Overture” this DVD is a stunning reminder of the musical genius that is Roger Hodgson. The DVD was released worldwide in September of 2007, bringing the music and memories that have touched so many lives into our hearts and homes.

Hi, have a great day. If you have time, I have a strange gig story from way back, that has loosely inspired the title of my upcoming album "Bright Lights Big City".
