Roger Hodgson is reuniting in concert with his fans and his music in his first national tour of Canada in 23 years. His 12-date Tour, commences in Rama, Ontario October 27 & 28 and ends November 22 in Vancouver, BC.

In his solo concerts Roger brings to life the songs that have become the soundtrack of our lives and gives the legendary voice and purest sound of the original anthem hits such as Give a Little Bit, the Logical Song, Take the Long Way Home, Dreamer, School, Breakfast in America, and many others. Along with his classic songs recorded during his time with Supertramp, Roger will also include new songs and songs from his solo albums such as, Lovers in the Wind, Along Came Mary, Love is a Thousand Times and Oh Brother. With his solo performance, the audience shares the intimacy of the songs in their original form, the way Roger wrote them.

Described as a one man orchestra, Roger plays 12-string guitars, piano and keyboards with an incredible fullness of sound. The magic of Roger’s performances bring back the memories of the music that has touched our lives.

 

Audience Response to Roger’s Concerts:

“…I was amazed at your ability to solely create as much sound, melody, and music in showcasing your music. I have been to, literally, hundreds of shows over the years, several of which have been solo. Hands down, your performance was the best solo show I've ever seen...”

 “…I last saw you perform in the 70's in Toronto. It was an amazing show. Your voice hasn't changed a bit!!!!! You still have an incredible range and spot-on pitch…”

 “…This brought back memories, beautiful memories, great teenage feelings and fantastic pleasures. Having seen Supertramp a few times, I knew that the band was a great band but I always knew that the heart & soul of the band was you …”

“…What a gift to hear the original writer and composer sing the songs the way he originally wrote them - from that place within his soul where they were birthed…”

“… what a magical show, Roger put Heart, Soul, and Voice into the word Musicianship. His performance left me stunned…gave me shivers and put tears in my eyes…”

 

Currently Roger’s new DVD, Take the Long Way Home, Live in Montreal has been #1 on the charts in Quebec and in the top 3-5 across Canada. And has gone Gold in Canada in just a little over a month.
