"A Roger Hodgson concert is an amazing event that leaves the audience feeling uplifted, renewed, excited, and wanting to come again. Those who have been to Roger's concerts will agree there is a very special connection Roger makes with his audience. He gives his whole heart in every show, and sounds better live today than in the recording studio more than a generation ago."
“How many artists cannot actually start their show because the audience is giving them a standing ovation? That was the pleasure that met Roger tonight... the crowd went wild with an enthusiastic roar as soon as Roger walked on to the stage. We have travelled across the ocean to hear this man sing for a reason. There is no other artist who can move us in this way...who lifts our spirits and makes us long for our next live performance. Thank you, Roger.” ~ Marie and Tony Coyne
Read what the media has been saying about Roger’s shows...
“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, England
“The highest compliment Roger can be paid is that he probably sounds better live today than in the recording studio more than a generation ago… The prolonged standing ovation received echoed around the hall for ages…” Evening Standard - London, England
Roger Hodgson wrote and composed the songs listed above on the Breakfast in America and Crime of the Century Albums. Though all the above songs that Roger recorded with Supertramp were credited equally Hodgson/Davies, that does not reflect how it really was. Roger actually wrote his songs while he was alone and many of his biggest hits were songs he had written before he met Rick and co-founded the band. Roger and Rick actually wrote separately, though they continued to share writer's credit. Of course, it would have been Roger's preference if he'd had better advice and had all the songs he wrote in just his name and the ones Rick wrote just in Rick's name so there would not be so much confusion about the difference in artistic, lyrical and musical styles of each songwriter and composer. Click on the songs listed above to hear samples of Roger singing his songs.
Open the Door is a brilliant solo album by Roger with his same magic touch for melody, catchy hooks, and powerful, dramatic rock that made his work with Supertramp so special. Great songs from end to end. Hodgson's classic falsetto voice remains in pristine condition, his playing & songwriting simply wonderful. Open The Door is a must-buy CD for the Roger Hodgson/Supertramp faithful. Here’s a few songs from this Album to listen too above.
“Your music and more importantly, your enthusiasm for expressing your music to the audience is inspiring! I felt that you sang each and every song with a passion ... not just an empty or bland repetition of sameness!” ~ Bruce
“Known as the legendary voice and head of “Supertramp,” Hodgson fascinated the (audience) without any effort. Somehow, you could have the feeling as if an old acquaintance played some songs from the good old times in your living room.” ~ Jasmin
“It’s amazing to see a performer whose songs touch the depth of your soul. I was also amazed by the kindness and friendliness that emanates from you on the stage towards your audience. Brilliant!” ~ Mark
"Love the stories about how you came to write the songs and the comedic responses you had with the audience. You are a true musician and it was thrilling to see you again in such an intimate setting.” ~ Michelle
“I looked around and saw smiles and tears all at the same time . You have a way of getting into ones soul with your music and pointing the way.” ~ Wayne
Live in Montreal DVD
Review
Normally I'm not a fan of live albums or DVDs. However, when this singer/songwriter from one of my favorite 70s bands, Supertramp, released this DVD featuring his concert recorded in Montreal in '06, I knew it wouldn't be anything less than stellar. I wasn't disappointed!
Unlike most singers from our musical past, Roger's voice seems to have only blossomed and improved with time. He gives 150% of himself, resulting in a sweet, soaring vocal performance.
Beautifully produced, the audio and visuals are a treat for the senses.
It's a feel-good concert that will leave you smiling (and in my case, cheering!).
Review
"The whole audience went several times into standing ovations as he sang and played as a "One Man Orchestra" either a "12 Strings Guitar", A Piano, An Electronic Keyboard or The Harmonica. This DVD is a GEM as the stage production including lights and sound as well as the quality of the Video (near HD) are excellent."
