"All these years I thought I was a Supertramp fan when actually I was and am a Roger Hodgson fan. What a show! 'WOW' is all I can say." ~ David Wild, Rolling Stone
"There are few vocalists instantly recognizable from the first few bars of a song but Roger Hodgson is certainly one of that unique group. The singer/songwriter of Supertramp, his voice is as unmistakable as the distinct keyboard sound of his early hits." ~ The Times (London)
"This is the real deal: a legendary music man, in brilliant form and shimmering presence, supported by a tight, terrific band. An evening with Roger Hodgson will raise your standards of concert-going." ~ Huffington Post
Audience Responses
"The performance was an intimate "stadium" concert..... such a remarkable voice, singing hit after hit.... now I know why they call you Mr. Supertramp. You didn't just fill the theater, you filled our spirit."
"Absolutely amazing show! Roger's music is timeless. We brought our kids and 16-year-old granddaughter who have been listening to Roger's music all their lives. They were singing and cheering right along with us. Great memories were made last night."
"WOW! After over 30 years of waiting, we saw your show last night - All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you... how wonderful it felt to be 16 again! The band was tight, and your musicians were spot on, nailing the harmonies and filling the room and my soul with the sounds of my favorite music, Supertramp!! Roger, your voice is as sweet and strong as the day in 1976 when I put on headphones and heard School for the 1st time."
Hodgson's latest release, 'Classics Live,' is a spectacular collection of his hit songs from concerts recorded around the world and is available through his Store and iTunes.
