Roger Hodgson formerly of Supertramp

Roger Hodgson is recognised as one of the most gifted composers, song writers and lyricists of our time! As the legendary voice, writer and arranger of most of Supertramp's greatest hits that led to more than 60 million record sales, he gave us amazingly enduring songs like: "Give a Little Bit," "Dreamer," "It's Raining Again", "Take the Long Way Home", "The Logical Song," "Breakfast In America," "Fool's Overture" and so many others that have become the sound track of our lives. And don't think it's all in the past. Festival director Peter Noble recently saw Roger perform all those Supertramp classics in Europe and said "my jaw dropped - you could practically feel the earth move!" Hodgson co-founded the progressive rock band Supertramp in 1969 and was with them for 14 years. He wrote and sang most of the classic hits that brought Supertramp worldwide acclaim. His songs have remarkably stood the test of time, and Roger recently received 2 awards from ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) for his songs being in the top played songs in their repertory. Bluesfest is honoured to present Roger Hodgson for the first time ever.
