“I looked around and saw smiles and tears all at the same time.  Roger has a way of getting into ones soul with his music.”  

The Examiner

 


 

“The highest compliment that Roger can be paid is that he probably sounds better live today than in the recording studio more than a generation ago.”

“To the adoring fans who rise to their feet as Hodgson and his four-piece backing band take the stage … it might as well be 1979 all over again.”
Steve Baltin- Rolling Stone



 

“He is a consummate musician that takes his craft seriously. Every aspect of his performance was flawless.”
Jeb Wright - Classic Rock Revisited



 

“Hodgson connected deeply with the fans in a way few stars of his stature do.”
Daniel Knighton- San Diego Reader

 

 

"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."

Read what audiences have been saying about Roger's shows...


“Roger’s music is the only music that can move me to tears - his happy songs, his sad songs, they all get inside of my head and affect me like no other songs can do. :)”


“It's music from the heart... every lyric, every note, and every strum are done with wholesome love and passion. It's a kind of music that makes you happy no matter what mood you're in. It's the kind of music that makes you glad to be alive and able to enjoy the wonders of life :)”

 

“Hands down the best concert I have ever seen and I’ve seen everyone.   No other artist comes even close to the intimacy and magic that Roger Hodgson creates in his shows.   He holds his audience in his hands and they could not be happier.”


 “Last night was by far the most inspirational and heartfelt concert I have EVER attended. What a great band you have put together. I kept commenting to my wife, that song was from his heart. We both did what you wanted everyone attending to do, left the show with a smile on our face and tears in our eyes. Great to have you back!!!”   

 

“We were blown away and deeply moved by the honesty and sincerity of Roger Hodgson’s show…All of life’s problems disappeared, and we felt like teenagers again!”

Roger Hodgson wrote and composed the songs listed above on the Breakfast in America Album. Though all the above songs that Roger recorded with Supertramp were credited equally Hodgson/Davies, that does not reflect how it really was. Roger actually wrote his songs while he was alone and many of his biggest hits were songs he had written before he met Rick and co-founded the band. Roger and Rick actually wrote separately, though they continued to share writer's credit. Of course, it would have been Roger's preference if he'd had better advice and had all the songs he wrote in just his name and the ones Rick wrote just in Rick's name so there would not be so much confusion about the difference in artistic, lyrical and musical styles of each songwriter and composer.

 

Classics Live Review

For most of my life, I've loudly and proudly identified myself as a Supertramp fan. All these years later, I listen with awe to the altogether stunning new Classics Live album only to discover that I am, in fact, first and foremost, a major Roger Hodgson fan. His is the voice that spoke to me as a young man, and speaks to me even more powerfully all these years later. An utterly inspired collection of live performances of the best-loved songs that Roger Hodgson has written and sung to date, Classics Live reminds us in the most vivid way who brought the world such beloved rock standards as "Give A Little Bit," "Take The Long Way Home," "The Logical Song" and "Dreamer," and why these shining songs endure as deeply personal yet somehow universal expression of longing, love and our endless search for human connection. Hodgson's performances on Classics Live were recorded in various venues around the world -- from France to Brazil to Germany to Venezuela. Some of the performances here are acoustic, some with a small rock band; others find Hodgson backed by an orchestra too, and yet the entire album holds together as the deeply felt song cycle of a lifetime from an artist who for too long has been too humble to lay claim to his own remarkable musical legacy. Roger Hodgson may have taken the long way home, but with Classics Live he's back and he has never sounded better.

DAVID WILD
Contributing Editor, Rolling Stone

 

Open the Door is a brilliant solo album by Roger with his same magic touch for melody, catchy hooks, and powerful, dramatic rock that made his work with Supertramp so special. Great songs from end to end. Hodgson's classic falsetto voice remains in pristine condition, his playing & songwriting simply wonderful. Open The Door is a must-buy CD for the Roger Hodgson/Supertramp faithful. Here’s a few songs from this Album to listen too above.

DVD Reviews

 

Normally I'm not a fan of live albums or DVDs. However, when this singer/songwriter from one of my favorite 70s bands, Supertramp, released this DVD featuring his concert recorded in Montreal in '06, I knew it wouldn't be anything less than stellar. I wasn't disappointed!

 

Unlike most singers from our musical past, Roger's voice seems to have only blossomed and improved with time. He gives 150% of himself, resulting in a sweet, soaring vocal performance.

 

Beautifully produced, the audio and visuals are a treat for the senses.


It's a feel-good concert that will leave you smiling (and in my case, cheering!).

 

"The whole audience went several times into standing ovations as he sang and played as a "One Man Orchestra" either a "12 Strings Guitar", A Piano, An Electronic Keyboard or The Harmonica. This DVD is a GEM as the stage production including lights and sound as well as the quality of the Video (near HD) are excellent."

 

“I currently have a badly broken leg, so about once a day I put in my hand-signed DVD and watch the concert from Montreal. Roger has such a positive attitude it makes me want to get up and dance! Roger Hodgson: rock on!” VK

“Roger, I had been waiting all my life to see you and was totally blown away by your show! I have seen many hundreds of big name shows and this was by far one of the best ever! You said to leave our problems outside, and escape in the music inside, and that is exactly what I did. You turned what was a very bad day into one of the best, and that lasted the rest of the weekend, thank you so much! I look forward to the next time I can see you. Your band was also awesome, all together it was absolute perfection! Thank you so much for such wonderful music and for your coming to Portland!!! “~ TM


“Thank you for a great show. My husband passed away in Dec and we always dreamed of seeing Roger. I am listening to his music every single day. His music helps me remember and heal. I flew in to Park City from ABQ.” ~ DLB


“Roger, your music has been my best friend through good times and bad...... and whenever a song of yours comes on, the troubles of everyday life never seem that bad. Thank you...... from a diehard fan from way back!” ~ RC


“It reminds me of my youth when the love of my life and I would listen to Supertramp in my room, we saw them in concert a few times in the late 70s, she tragically passed away two years ago, the last concert we attended together was Roger's solo gig in Glasgow four years ago !”  ~ BS


“...his music touches directly all the strings of my soul at once, with the wise word of support, with a lovely melody i can lean onto, with some of the most beautiful harmonies i have ever heard. With so much taste and understanding, purest emotions. Roger's music is one of my best friends, which will stay with me for all my days remaining.” ~ OZ

 

“Your music and more importantly, your enthusiasm for expressing your music to the audience is inspiring! I felt that you sang each and every song with a passion ... not just an empty or bland repetition of sameness!” ~ Bruce

 

“Known as the legendary voice and head of “Supertramp,” Hodgson fascinated the (audience) without any effort.  Somehow, you could have the feeling as if an old acquaintance played some songs from the good old times in your living room.” ~ Jasmin

 

“It’s amazing to see a performer whose songs touch the depth of your soul. I was also amazed by the kindness and friendliness that emanates from you on the stage towards your audience. Brilliant!” ~ Mark

 

"Love the stories about how you came to write the songs and the comedic responses you had with the audience. You are a true musician and it was thrilling to see you again in such an intimate setting.” ~ Michelle

 

“I looked around and saw smiles and tears all at the same time . You have a way of getting into ones soul with your music and pointing the way.” ~ Wayne
