Special Announcement of March and April 2013 Tour

 

After being away for two years, Roger returns to Australia for a highly anticipated exclusive tour of six shows in March and April 2013!  Australians have been asking for Roger’s return, and we have been listening! You have Roger back and this time, with his full band!  Roger says, “I am very happy to be returning to Australia – I felt so welcomed when I was there in 2010.  It was a great tour and I am really looking forward to sharing my music with all of you again.”

 

Universally recognized as one of the most gifted composers and songwriters to have ever put pen to paper, Hodgson helped define a generation of progressive rock.  Founding Supertramp in 1969, Hodgson’s dulcet tones and beautifully crafted lyrics helped his former band sell in excess of 60 million albums, transforming them into a worldwide phenomenon.  Although he departed the band in 1983, for many he is still regarded as the spiritual and creative force behind Supertramp.

 

Join Roger as he and his band perform the timeless classics he wrote and composed such as “The Logical Song,” “Breakfast in America,” “Give a Little Bit,” “Dreamer,” “School,” “Take the Long Way Home,” “It's Raining Again,” “Child of Vision,” “Even in the Quietest Moments,” “Fool's Overture” as well as favorites from his solo albums such as “In Jeopardy,”  “Only Because of You,” and “Lovers in the Wind.”

 

See what the press had to say when Roger last toured Australia in April 2010:

 

“Roger Hodgson is one of the contemporary pop worlds great talents and it’s well worth making the effort to see his show, pay homage and be thoroughly entertained by a quality individual. His performance was exemplary. 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.” ~ Hey Hey My My

 

“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.  As the principal songwriter of Supertramp and lead singer of the songs he wrote, Hodgson solo sounds exactly like Supertramp which is a good thing.  The Roger Hodgson setlist reads like a history of music.” ~ Undercover

Peter from Bluesfest welcomes back Roger Hodgson - The Legendary voice of Supertramp for the 2nd time. “ This will be an absolute highlight. If you missed Roger in 2010, don’t do it again. His songs “Give a Little Bit” and “Lord Is It Mine” continue to give me goose-bumps after all these years. There are just too many hits to name them all, and Roger’s voice is just as it was all those years ago.”

 

SUPERTRAMP'S ROGER HODGSON “GIVES A LITTLE BIT” AT SUPER BOWL BEFORE KICKING OFF 2013 WORLD TOUR

New Version of Classic Roger Hodgson Song Provides Soundtrack for Coca-Cola Ad
 

In the wake of Super Bowl XLVII, some will remember which commercials were the best as much as the game itself.  With this year’s ads prompting emotions ranging from laughter to tears, prime among them was a 30-second spot for Coca-Cola utilizing the song “Give a Little Bit” as its soundtrack – a song written and composed by Roger Hodgson and originally released in 1977 by Supertramp, the iconic rock band he co-founded. This new recording is Hodgson's latest version of his classic hit, which is now available on iTunes His latest release Classics Live can be found on iTunes as well, or at www.rogerhodgson.com.

 

The Coca-Cola “Security Cameras” Super Bowl ad, which combined the sounds of “Give a Little Bit” with images of people engaging in acts of generosity and goodwill as captured by security cameras around the world, was the most watched post-game commercial on the NFL’s own website, with views exceeding a quarter-million.   The spot prompted Hodgson to comment, "The images in the ad go well with the meaning of my song.  It's just one of those songs that has a profound yet beautiful and simple message – ‘give a little bit’ and show you care. I know it is giving to others that makes me happy. If we could all ‘give a little bit’ each day, we would make the world a better place.”
