  • Roger Hodgson
    Roger Hodgson Roger Hodgson wurde als einer der begnadetsten Komponisten, Songschreiber und Texter unserer Zeit bekannt. Als legendäre Stimme von Supertramp und Komponist der größten Hits der Band schrieb er Songs wie ”Give a Little Bit“, ”The Logical Song“, ”Dreamer“, ”Take the Long Way Home“, ”Breakfast In America“, ”It’s Raining Again“, ”School“, and ”Fools Overture“ und viele andere mehr. Rogers Musik hat ihren Weg in die Herzen von Menschen verschiedenster Kulturen auf der ganzen Welt gefunden. Seine Songs haben die Zeit überdauert und Roger und Supertramp eine weltweite Anhängerschaft gesichert. Während Rogers Zeit an der Spitze der Band verkaufte Supertramp weit über 60 Millionen Alben und wurde ein weltweites Phänomen in der Rockmusik. Jeder fünfzehnte Kanadier besaß die beiden Alben "Crime Of The Century" und das überaus erfolgreiche "Breakfast In America", dessen meisten Hits von Roger geschrieben und gesungen wurden und das eines der erfolgreichsten Alben aller Zeiten wurde. Roger, 1950 in Portsmouth in England geboren, verbrachte einen großen Teil seiner Kindheit im Internat. Dort wurde die Gitarre eine Art bester Freund. Als Zwölfjähriger fing er an, Songs zu schreiben und lernte schließlich noch Klavier, Bass, Schlagzeug und sogar Cello zu spielen. Nicht lange nach seinem letzten Schuljahr kam es mit "Mr. Boyd" zur ersten Studioaufnahme mit einer Sessionband, der der Pianist Reg Dwight angehörte, später bekannt geworden als Elton John. Es war zu dieser Zeit, dass Roger Rick Davies traf, womit der Kern von Supertramp geboren war. Rogers und Ricks Zusammenarbeit weckte das Interesse des Plattenlabels A&M Records. Schließlich wurde das erste Album "Supertramp" 1969 veröffentlicht. Kurz nach ihrem zweiten Album "Indelibly Stamped" fingen Roger und Rick an, ihre jeweils eigenen Songs zu schreiben, traten dabei jedoch während ihrer weiteren Karriere mit Supertramp gemeinsam als Autorenduo auf, vergleichbar mit Lennon und McCartney, die ihre Songs ebenfalls separat schrieben.

  • Roger Hodgson Supertramp - Radio DJ Fact Sheet 2009
    Roger Hodgson Supertramp - Radio DJ Fact Sheet 2009 Hello DJ – I’d love your support to spread the word about Roger Hodgson, the singer and composer of most of the Supertramp hit songs played on the radio for the last 30 years. Roger is an active touring artist, so when you play one of the Supertramp songs Roger wrote and sings, please let your listeners know Roger Hodgson is the voice they have been hearing all these years, the original voice of Supertramp. Below are some facts about Roger’s songs recorded with Supertramp (more info on www.RogerHodgson.com) Breakfast in America • Breakfast in America to date has sold over 20 million albums and was the top selling album worldwide in 1979. 2009 marks the 30th anniversary of the album • According to Billboard back in 1994 - BIA was ranked the #22 selling LP of the Seventies. • It was in the top 200 chart for 88 weeks, 48 weeks in the top 40, 26 weeks in the top 10, and of course 6 weeks at #1.

  • Pophistoriens Mest Originella Band – Supertramp SUPERTRAMP ÄR ETT BAND AV SIN TID
    Ur arkivet – sommarläsning med Livets Goda.se: Pophistoriens mest originella band – Supertramp SUPERTRAMP ÄR ETT BAND AV SIN TID. De slog igenom under en era där naket självutlämnande, djupt melankoliska och närmast andligt sökande låtar kunde toppa listorna. En era då ironi och mobbing inte dominerade media. Där man kunde släppa två floppande album men ändå få förtroende nog av sitt skivbolag för att få göra ett tredje – och då slå igenom. En era då en grupp kunde ha långa, vindlande låtar med akustiska partier och solon av saxofon eller klarinett och ändå spelas på de stora popstationerna. Supertramp är också något av ett mysterium. Medlemmarna är så mediaskygga att de får gentlemännen i Pink Floyd att kännas som wannabes. Faktum är att ingen har riktig koll på huruvida bandet i dag finns. Inte ens deras skivbolag vet. Och frågan är om den kvarvarande ledaren Rick Davies heller bestämt sig. Men det spelar ingen roll. För det var åren 1974-1982 som den klassiska sättningen av den brittiska gruppen gjorde fem album som fortfarande kan hittas på många musikälskares listor över de bästa någonsin. Bandet grundades av två låtskrivare, sångare och klaviaturspelare med helt olika röster och temperament. Rick Davies kom från en R&B-bakgrund och spelade ett bluesigt boogiepiano som hade mer gemensamt med Dr John än ”progressive rock”. Hans röst var lite grötig och hans låtar jordnära betraktelser av vardagslivet. Den mer hippieliknande Roger Hodgson var några år yngre och hade växt upp med The Beatles och gillade Pink Floyd, Genesis och Elton John (som för övrigt spelat piano på hans solosingel, utgiven under namnet Argosy).
