"The pieces he performs solo exude a different
flavor altogether. Listeners cannot but take on
board their sheer beauty. Through their crafted
melodies, his fragile crystalline voice, his innate
sense of sensual chords filled with hope, he purges
our hearts of built-up blackness, substituting it
for sheer vital energy." Derwesten.de,
July 25, 2010, Carmen Fürstenau "[Hodgson] is considered to be one of the most
successful musicians worldwide, and thus he
presented himself in Hemer: He took the visitors'
hearts by storm."
Roger Hodgson - Musical Trip of
a Lifetime ~ "His voice sounded like we know and love it.
And his charming way while moderating his songs will
stay in our minds and memories forever."
Beginning to Grow Wings in the Course of Time ~ Abendzeitung
München, Jul 22, 2010, Arno
Frank Eser "His voice is
gently and as clear as a bell, as it was once in a
studio many years ago. His performance and
moderation is charming and with ease. All the songs
tell their own tale, for there have grown wings to
them over time."

2010 Roger
Hodgson: Exposing the True Essence of the Songs ~ Nachrichten.at, Jul 19, 2010, Lukas Luger "Vocally on top-form and visibly moved by the
audience's appreciation, the man from Portsmouth
liberates his songs from any
70's-synthesizer-patina, from reverb and similar
studio gadgets."
Le Soleil, Jul 12, 2010, Valérie Lesage "The singer whose voice is still perfectly capable of hitting those very high notes addressed us in French for almost throughout the whole concert. "Let me give a little bit of my love to you" he told the enthused crowd before playing the marvelous Give a Little Bit with his band." The Ottawa
Citizen, Jul 11, 2010, Lynn Saxberg "Earlier in the evening, a cheery Hodgson, his hair long, delighted anyone within earshot of the Claridge stage with his friendly banter and familiar songs. His sweet voice was remarkably clear, and he had a top-notch band behind him." MusikWoche, Jun

Christian Jöricke "Acoustically and musically the 1,300
listeners witnessed an amazing show. Hodgson's warm,
high voice sounds powerful, clear and unique."
An Audience of 1300 Feels
Like 16 Again ~ Volksfreund.de, Jun 7,
2010, Cordula Fischer "His songs are
still true companions for all purposes. And finally
one part of his recipe for success is that his songs
became evergreens and people associate memories and
emotions with it. This is a phenomenon which not all
musicians can claim. Sixty years old Roger Hodgson
can. His voice - even after 28 years of his split
from Supertramp - sounds better than ever. Each and
every song hit home; 1,300 spectators become
teenagers again."
"I've Got the Best Job in the World" ~ Hr-online.de, Jun 6, 2010, Sebastian Schneider "My love for these songs is hard to describe. I never planned this back then, but my songs outlasted so many years and proved to be successful. They don´t sound old, but fresh and modern. Some of my lyrics even have a bigger meaning today than they did in the past, when I wrote them. It seems I was a wise young man back then (laughing). It´s still a lot of fun to play them and obviously my audience loves them, too."
Travel back to the
hand of Roger Hodgson ~ El Universal, May 22, 2010, Roberto Rodríguez
M.
eon.businesswire.com, May 21, 2010 “As an artist what really touches me
is the appreciation and love so many fans
have for my music. That combined with how
much I enjoy singing and serenading them is
what creates magic. I am very grateful, I
wouldn’t be here performing concerts if it
wasn’t for the fans.”
Roger Hodgson -
Light, Joy, and Nostalgia in Caracas ~ Globovisión, May 21, 2010, José
Domingo Guariglia "With the passage of time, Roger
Hodgson showed that musical prodigies can
carve his own fame without using
preconceived formulas, and with a repertoire
that mixes both the alternative and the
commercial, in a smart way to create the
soundtrack to many, overcoming cultural
barriers and temporary barriers."
In the musical
genius no two without three ~ La Capital, Argentina, May 2010
"Hodgson played for the second time in Argentina on
Sunday 22nd of that month to nearly four thousand
people who did not stop at two exciting ovation hour
concert, outstanding event in the reviews of the
following days."

"The thing that amazes me about the songs is that they don't feel old. They really do have an evergreen quality. There is not [one] line that I think, 'Boy, I wish I hadn't written that', even though I have changed as a man and got older and wiser. I still really appreciate the emotions of what I was writing about back then."
Duncan
Johnstone, Apr 2010 "Sister
Moonshine, The Logical Song and Breakfast In
America were all belted out with such
precision that if you closed your eyes you'd
swear you were back in the 70s with the
turntable in full swing." Andrew
Watt, Apr 7, 2010 "Vocally
he seems actually stronger and more assured
than when he was a younger man making multi
million selling albums. His guitar playing
and keyboard work was superb.."
Undercover.com.au, Apr 6, 2010, Paul
Cashmere "If
you were ever a fan of Supertramp then
attending a Roger Hodgson concert these days
is as good as it gets and it gets good."
Mar 21, 2010 Hamilton Press,
NZ, Mar 10, 2010, Steve Scott "One
of the reasons Hodgson performs his solo
tour is because of the close connection he
can have with his audience. Part of it he
believes is the heartfelt feeling he can put
into his deliveries. "It has something
incredibly special with the show."
