Fresh on the heels of sold out performances earlier this year in the U.S., South America, and Europe, Roger Hodgson, co-founder and original singer-songwriter from Supertramp, brings his Breakfast in America tour back to the United States. Hodgson’s 34 date U.S. tour resumes on August 5 in Park City, Utah - marking his first major national U.S. tour since his departure from Supertramp in 1983.
Many may not know his name but would instantly recognize his voice and the classic hits 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,” and “Fool's Overture,” - and other fan favorites including “Hide in Your Shell,” “Child of Vision,” “Don't Leave Me Now,” and “Lord is it Mine.”
Uniting generations at his concerts, Hodgson transports baby boomers back to their youth and gives younger generations a taste of why his heartfelt songs have endured. Audiences are once again experiencing the magic and spirit that Hodgson created with Supertramp, a global success that resulted in sales of over 60 million albums.
For his U.S. Breakfast in America tour, Hodgson will be accompanied by a four- piece band and promises an assortment of the classics he wrote and originally recorded with Supertramp, as well as select highlights such as “Only Because of You,” and “Lovers in the Wind” from his five solo album releases. Hodgson’s latest CD is “Classics Live,” available through iTunes, Topspin or from the Roger Hodgson Store. UMe recently released a Deluxe Edition of Breakfast In America which includes a second disc, “Breakfast Around The World,” containing 12 previously unreleased 1979 live recordings from Miami, London and Paris.

I agree completely Mickie :)
Roger Hodgson's music & words have a way of reaching deep inside your soul and changing the way you feel & how you view the world. Not only a legendary songwriter & composer, Roger is a teacher, a guide, a wise sage--- the songs he's written still reach the hearts of today's generations, proof that a song with a powerful message can stand the test of time and serve as a lesson for us all. I saw him live last September and really enjoyed the positive, feel-good vibe I felt throughout the audience. His band is extraordinary, complete with a saxophonist, drummer, bassist, keyboardist & of course Roger himself. It is obvious that they have fantastic musical chemistry, rather than overshadowing each other they individually enhance each others' sound. Each show is truly unique in both sound & feeling, which is why I have tickets to see him 3 times on this tour--- that's right, 3 times! His set-lists always hold surprising dear favorites as well as the deeper tracks-- Breakfast In America, Logical Song, Dreamer, Fool's Overture, Lady, In Jeopardy-- I could go on and on! There is absolutely no way you can miss the show of a lifetime from one of classic rock's most legendary musicians. I guarantee that when you see him just once, you'll find yourself dreaming of his next show--maybe even another! :) You can follow him on his tour around the world on Facebook, as well as exclusive presale ticket information and newly announced tour dates: http://www.facebook.com/RogerHodgsonOfficial
Thank you so much for the info on Roger Hodgson's tour. I saw him in Montreal last October and can't wait to see him again. An amazing performer and his voice sounds even better today than it does on my Supertramp vinyls. If you were or are a Supertramp fan, get yourself to Roger's show. You will see the true soul and spirt of the band. Experience the feel-good feelings yourself! Check out his Youtube channel - you won't be able to pull yourself away - http://www.YouTube.com/MrRogerHodgson.
The excitement builds...... you feel it in the air.......
Rogers songs have stood the test of time, when you hear the very first chords of "Give a Little Bit" your foot starts tapping and your head moves to the beat. Instantly a person is transported to a different time in your life when Rogers words rang out to you from every car radio.
Because of his distinctive sound, vocally, lyrically, and musically, Roger is easily recognized and quickly remembered. His music finds a place in your soul and each time you hear those familiar notes winding their way to your ears, feel comforted.
Roger Hodgson has been touring for the last ten years and one of those rare artists who spends his time communicating with his audience. You only have to listen to one song, one candidly spoken introduction, one humorous antidote to become a fan for life. His voice and music sound better than ever and he makes you feel like he is playing just for you and yes..... you will hear "Give a Little Bit, Dreamer, Take the Long Way Home, and Logical Song" to just name a few of his gems, live. If you attend just one of his performances you will want to see him again and again ......be warned......
