Roger Hodgson co-founded Supertramp in 1969 and was the band’s innovator and driving force through their “golden years”. He helped define a generation of progressive rock and was the composer and voice of most of Supertramp’s universally enduring anthems - Breakfast in America, Give a Little Bit, Take the Long Way Home, The Logical Song, Dreamer, It’s Raining Again, School, Fool’s Overture, Child of Vision, Hide in Your Shell – classic hits.

Hodgson, who won the Ivor Novello Award for The Logical Song in 1980, is one of the most gifted composers, lyricists and performers of our time. He is the soulful musical genius who put the ‘Super’ in Supertramp and is still bringing those songs to life onstage around the world for those who love them.  As Rolling Stone said, “All these years I thought I was a Supertramp fan when actually I was and am a Roger Hodgson fan. What a show! ‘WOW' is all I can say.”

In Canada alone, sales for Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America reached Diamond status. Meaning, one in every 15 Canadians owned both of these albums!
