Roger Hodgson Inspires at
The Paramount - Huntington,
NY 11-11-14
Cryptic Rock, December
26, 2014, Meghan Ritter
"Every song has a story, and Hodgson proved that in addition to being an excellent musician, he is also a capable raconteur, as he related a number of anecdotes about his songs throughout the show.
His voice was flawless, and he hit every high note with apparent ease. The Paramount offered the perfect setting for this intimate show, and for many it was the first time seeing Hodgson live in nearly four decades. It was a journey into Hodgson’s music that brought the fans back to a special place."

Crime Of The Century: Chatting with Roger Hodgson
Huffington Post, December
16, 2014, Mike Ragogna
"My songs have always been very personal, very autobiographical and really reflective of what's been going on inside me. "Dreamer," I was a consummate dreamer at that point. I was a young man with many dreams and when I wrote the song "Dreamer" it exploded out of me one day as I was sat at the Wurlitzer piano for the first time alone in a room. I started playing and this song just erupted out of me. Then "Hide In Your Shell" was very autobiographical. At the time, I was feeling very alone, I had a lot of questions but I was also getting into a lot of personal growth in myself. The songs are very autobiographical."

Concert Review: Roger Hodgson
Power
Popaholic, November 12,
2014, Aaron Kupferberg
"The stage was decorated with various trees and greenery – all to add atmosphere to the epic “Death and a Zoo,” where the percussion and animal noises made the stage look and feel like a rainforest. Hodgson has a very deep spirituality that comes forth when he plays, and the complex arrangements of the song add to this impression."

Review: Roger Hodgson lives up to legendary billing
Niagara Frontier

"At 64, one would expect this seasoned rock 'n' roller to be slowing down a bit, but not Hodgson. He has the demeanor, excitement and stamina of a performer half his age."

Roger Hodgson – 23-10-2014 – São Paulo (Espaço das Américas)
Metal Revolution, November
8, 2014, André Luiz
"Roger Hodgson is a legend. This is the word that can define Roger. The British musician is known as the former lead singer of Supertramp, but say only former singer is limited him too. Not only sang in the band, but also played guitar, piano, keyboard and bass in addition to being a composer of the great classics of the group to which he belonged from 1969 to 1983. More than a singer, Hodgson is considered the true voice of Supertramp. "

The Daily Tribune,
November 6, 2014, Gary Graff
"For the true aficionados, Hodgson and his facile four band members delivered impressively accurate renditions of ambitious epics such as “Child of Vision” and the suite-like “Fool’s Overture,” The musicians, in fact, were very bit Supertramp’s equal throughout the night."

Roger Hodgson brings his
‘Breakfast in America’ tour
to Bethlehem
Ticket to Entertainment,
October 29, 2014, Rob Nagy
“To be able to play a concert and take people on a journey, maybe to some place back in time to the first time they heard that song when they were falling in love or when they were in high school or maybe when life was a little simpler – it’s a real gift,” says Hodgson. “This is the first tour that I’m actually bringing my electric guitar out of the closet. That will add a new element for fans that have seen the show already. I’m always trying to introduce a song or two that people haven’t heard along with the favorites that people want to hear. It really makes for a very uplifting two-hour experience. It works!”

Wood
"Accompanied by a four-piece band, Hodgson will bring his rich, musical legacy to the Sands Event Center in Bethlehem, PA on Sunday, Nov 9.
Hodgson talks about his career and what fans can expect from his Bethlehem performance in a recent interview.
"One of the things that I like most about making music is how it has brought people together from all over the globe and how many lasting friendships have been made through a common love of my songs.

Über 2000 Fans feiern Supertramp-Ära
More than 2000 fans celebrating Supertramp era
~ Hanauer
Anzeiger, September 5, 2014,
Andrea Pauly "“I'm glad to be back in Hanau,” proclaimed the Englishman stemming from Portsmouth who has visited the Amphitheatre two years ago already, back then with a smaller cast and he promised his guests: “let's have a good time together”.
A good time was indeed what his listeners were having tonight with this musical journey to the past which was in no way dated or antiquated but which showed in a fresh and intense way how timeless and immortal the works of Supertramp are, a band which was co-founded in 1969 by Hodgson."

Hodgson celebrates his music, plays the keyboards, piano and
guitar. The “Voice of Supertramp” with his vital tenor, which climbs the heights effortlessly, is
supported by excellent musicians."

dancing, laughing, singing,

No-one really processed that

almost three hours. Just
like when you meet with a
good friend, time flies.
“Hope to see you again soon”

Mayor (Burkhard) was particularly pleased with the performance of Supertramp frontman Roger Hodgson. "We've advanced to new dimensions here" states Burkhard regarding the artist's prominence as well as the number of tickets sold.
1750 fans have attended the "hit spectacle" according to Marcus Stier (organizer). Burkhard sums it up like this: "Despite that number, people were still able to move. That's the special thing about the festival: We don't squeeze out the utmost of the space capacity. Professional programming and intimate atmosphere - that's how it shall stay."

„Musik ist wie Medizin“
- Alzey Konzertbericht
"Music is like Medicine" -
Alzey Concert Review ~
Allgemeine Zeitung,
September 1, 2014, Carina
Schmidt
"Hodgson – supported by
his strong band of four -
knocks out one classic after
the other. It's unmistakable: Hodgson enjoys it to be on stage. The man, whose songs are about spiritual and philosophical topics appears like someone who has arrived. The 64-year-old says: “Love is the most important thing in life“ without sounding trite or kitschy. That's also why the messages of his songs have stood the test of time. A fact which the dedicated musician himself would not have believed back when he wrote songs like “Breakfast in America“ which he has written 40 years ago, within an hour in a hotel. Today this is the title of his world tour."

Ribfest volunteers from Ohio give a little bit more
Positively
Naperville, July 6, 2014
“If Hodgson is performing, Ribfest must be a something huge,” he said.
The couple found Naperville on a map and determined it was about a five-hour drive from Dayton. They also looked further into the festival hosted by the Exchange Club of Naperville and were touched by the service club’s mission to help prevent child abuse and domestic violence. Hodgson’s
signature song, “Give a
Little Bit,” that he
performed on stage at
Ribfest Saturday night with
his band of incredible
musicians, certainly wraps
up this story of generous
American spirit, don’t you
think?"

Roger
Hodgson gives Chandler audience a lot
Mesa Classic Rock Music Examiner, Apr 26, 2014, Ted Hansen
"Seeing Roger Hodgson in concert gives one the
warm, comfortable, feel found when reuniting with a long lost friend. Whether
it’s the musings of a 19 year old Hodgson that wrote “Breakfast in America,” or
the lovelorn Hodgson that composed “Give A Little Bit,” Hodgson’s lyrics have
already opened up his feelings to the listener. Couple that with Hodgson’s easy
going on stage demeanor and in between song insights and not only do you feel
you know him, but, despite many years that may have gone by, that it was just
yesterday that the two of you spoke. ..Those
fortunate people that may have tickets for the future performances of Roger
Hodgson’s 2014 “Breakfast in America” Tour might ask, so how was opening night?
Was it wonderful, beautiful, magical? It was bloody marvelous."

"Thirty

With performances currently scheduled for the 2014 Breakfast Around the World
tour in only three North American cities, Chandler, four sold out nights in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin and at Ribfest in Naperville, Illinois, the Chandler show
marks a rare opportunity for audiences to catch this unique talent."
