  • Roger Hodgson Supertramp “Breakfast In...Milano!!!”
    Comunicato stampa ROGER HODGSON SUPERTRAMP “BREAKFAST IN...MILANO!!!” LA “VOCE” DEI SUPERTRAMP IN ITALIA MILANO, 11 GIUGNO – TEATRO SMERALDO “Breakfast in America”, “Take the long way home”, “It’s Raining again”, “The Logical Song”, “Give a Little Bit”, “Dreamer” In tour in Europa l’ex leader dei Supertramp, uno dei più grandi autori del rock “I Supertramp rappresentano una parte importante della mia storia e sono sempre ben felice di parlarne: per oltre 14 anni, la band è stata la mia passione e il mio sogno realizzato. Il pubblico ancora oggi, quando ascolta le mie hit, pensa ai Supertramp perchè le mie canzoni sono il “suono e l’anima” della band, anche grazie alle radio di tutto il mondo che continuano a programmarle ogni giorno”. “Ladies and gentlemen”...questo è Roger Hodgson, un distinto signore inglese, che ha scritto alcune delle più belle belle canzoni della storia del rock, legando indissolubilmente il suo nome a quello di una delle band più conosciute al mondo: i “Supertramp”. Basti pensare a “Breakfast in America”, uno degli album più famosi di tutti i tempi, per collocare Roger Hodgson al centro di quel progetto, insieme all’altro leader della band, Rick Davies. Come in ogni band, la convivenza ben presto si fa difficile e Hodgson nel 1983, dopo l’album “The Famous last Words”, all’apice del successo mondiale, abbandona i “Supertramp” (che non saranno più gli stessi) per entrare nella leggenda con un paio di album da solista (“In the eye of the storm” e “Hai Hai”). Presentato da “Amicimiei srl”, Roger Hodgson sarà per la prima volta in Italia lunedi 11 giugno al Teatro Smeraldo di Milano con il “Breakfast in America Tour” in cui presenterà il meglio del suo importante repertorio di canzoni con (e senza) i Supertramp: “Breakfast in America”, per l’appunto; “Take the long way home”; “It’s raining again”; “The Logical Song”; “Give a Little Bit”; “Dreamer”, “School”, “Fool’s Overture”, per citarne alcune.

  • Trust Hodgson to Give a Little Bit More
    Trust Hodgson to Give a Little Bit more Roger Hodgson Photograph by : CALGARY HERALD, CANWEST NEWS SERVICE Eric Volmers, Calgary Herald; CanWest News Service Published: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 Roger Hodgson seems an odd choice to take on the role of a hardened, reality-TV taskmaster overseeing a gaggle of young Canadian Idol hopefuls. But the soft-spoken and willowy singer-songwriter, who is best known for applying his otherworldly falsetto to a string of progressive pop hits in the 1970s and '80s with his band Supertramp, seems genuinely excited that producers have asked him to be an official mentor on the show. Come August, the former Supertramp frontman, who was 19 when the band's first album was released in 1969, will be shepherding Idol's surviving singers through some of Supertramp's most beloved songs. And the near legendary songwriter admits he is curious to see how the young singers negotiate some of the trickier vocal gymnastics required to master tunes like Dreamer and Take the Long Way Home. "It will be interesting to find contestants who can sing in my register," Hodgson said. "It will be something different for me." Hodgson's appearance on Canadian Idol is another reminder of the long-term relationship the British-born musician has had with this country. Although Hodgson has lived in California since the 1980s, he says Canada's long-standing devotion to Supertramp has always made it seem like a second home. At one time, it was estimated that one in every 20 Canadians owned the band's Breakfast in America and Crime of the Century albums.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Tracey Shavers or Jacci Woods 313.309.4610 [email protected] or [email protected] MotorCity Casino Hotel Proudly Welcomes Roger Hodgson, Legendary Singer-Songwriter formerly of SUPERTRAMP Sound Board November 6, 2014 (Detroit – June 25, 2014) MotorCity Casino Hotel is proud to welcome Roger Hodgson, Legendary Singer-Songwriter formerly of SUPERTRAMP, to Sound Board on Thursday, November 6, 2014 at 8:00 p.m. Roger Hodgson has been recognized as one of the most gifted composers, songwriters and lyricists of our time. As the legendary voice and composer of many of the band Supertramp’s greatest hits, he gave us “Give a Little Bit,” “The Logical Song,” “Dreamer,” “Take the Long Way Home,” “Breakfast in America,” “It’s Raining Again,” “School,” “Fool’s Overture” and so many others that have become the soundtrack of many lives. Roger's trademark way of setting beautiful introspective lyrics to upbeat melodies resonated and found its way into the hearts and minds of people from cultures around the world. His songs have remarkably stood the test of time and earned Roger and Supertramp an adoring worldwide following. During the time that Roger was with the band, Supertramp became a worldwide rock phenomenon, selling well over 60 million albums to date. In 1974, the band released the album “Crime of the Century” with Roger’s song “Dreamer” becoming their first hit and driving the album to the top of the charts. For the next nine years, dubbed by fans as the “Golden Years,” Supertramp saw four studio albums, numerous tours, and the worldwide success of “Breakfast in America.” Following his heart, in 1983, Hodgson left Supertramp and Los Angeles after the “Famous Last Words” album and mega rock stadium tour.

  • Rock & Pop Splitter (17)
    Rüdiger Meilahn Rock & Pop Splitter (17) Splitter Nach Kanada nun Australien. Ja, auch von dort kommt richtig gute Rock & Popmusik daher und wenn Sie den einen oder anderen CD-Tipp aufgreifen, wird das sicher hörbar. Australien ist be- kanntlich ein Phänomen: Kontinent, eigenständiger Staat und größte Insel überhaupt. Dies ist auf unserem Erdball einmalig! Im Folgenden eine lockere Auswahl von Bands und Solisten: Crowded House Diese Band, deren Mitglieder aus Australien und Neuseeland kommen, wurde 1985 aus den „Trümmern“ von Split Enz gegründet. Bei Split Enz hatten die Brüder Neil und Tim Finn sowie Paul Hester gespielt. 1985 trennt sich Tim wegen Schwierigkeiten mit seinem Bruder von der Formation und machte Soloplatten. Die Band löste sich dann ganz auf. Nun wurde Crowded House geboren. 1986 veröffentlichten sie ihr Debütalbum mit dem Hit „Don´t Dream It´s Over“ (Januar 1987, Platz 2). 1991 vertrugen sich die Brüder Neil und Tim wieder, und Tim schloss sich Crowded House an. Gemeinsam wurde die ausgezeichnete LP „Woodface“ eingespielt, die 1991 erschien und unter die ersten 10 in GB kam. Ende 1991 hatte sich Tim allerdings wieder von der Gruppe getrennt, um weitere Solopläne zu verfolgen. Für ihn kam Mark Hart zur Band. Mit „Locked Out“ gelang Crowded House im Frühjahr 1994 ein Platz 12 in GB. CD-Tipp: Crowded House – Woodface (Capitol CDP 7 93559 2) John Farnham John wurde 1949 in GB geboren. Im Alter von zehn Jahren zog er mit seinen Eltern nach Melbour- ne in Australien und begann als Sechzehnjähriger eine Klempnerlehre. 1965 wurde John für zwei Jahre der Leadsänger der Strings.
