Roger Hodgson has been 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, Fools Overture, and so many others that have become the soundtrack of our lives. His trademark style of setting beautiful introspective lyrics to upbeat melodies resonated with people around the world and found its way into the hearts and minds of people from a wide variety of cultures.
His songs have remarkably stood the test of time and earned Roger and Supertramp an adoring worldwide following. Thirty-five years after writing his classic Give a Little Bit, Roger received an for award the song being one of the most performed works in the 2005 ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) repertory.
During the time that Roger led Supertramp, the band sold well over 60 million albums and became a worldwide rock phenomenon. To this day Roger continues to write music and lyrics and has over 60 unreleased songs. Often drawing upon his own life experiences, Roger’s songs convey a very personal message to his vast fan-base.
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 a wide variety of his repertoire, including Supertramp hits and many of his solo hits.
In 2006 Roger released his first ever DVD from his live solo concert in Montreal. Take The Long Way Home – Live in Montreal went platinum in just seven weeks and hit #1 in all of Canada. The DVD was released worldwide in September 2007, bringing the music and memories that have touched so many of our lives into our hearts and homes.
