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, continues the U.S. leg of his Breakfast in America tour this fall. The 34-date tour – which features all his hit songs including "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" – is his first major 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 that he composed and originally recorded with Supertramp, as well as fan favorites such as "Hide in Your Shell," "Child of Vision," "Don't Leave Me Now," and "Lord is it Mine." Select highlights Hodgson also performs include "Only Because of You," and "Lovers in the Wind" from his five solo album releases.

Uniting generations at his concerts, Hodgson and his four-piece band transport baby boomers back to their youth and give younger generations a taste of why his heartfelt songs have endured. Breakfast in America had sales of over 20 million copies and hit the #1 spot on album charts worldwide. 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.

Hodgson closes his concerts with the crowd singing along to "Give a Little Bit," a song heard in a recent video that went viral with over six million views. Hodgson's timeless composition has a universal message that is as relevant today as when he wrote it over 40 years ago. The newest version, "Give a Little Bit with Children's Choir," was just released as a single on iTunes. Hodgson's latest CD, "Classics Live," is available through iTunes or from www.Rogerhodgson.com

"To the adoring fans who rise to their feet as Hodgson and his four-piece backing band take the stage … it might as well be 1979 all over again." Rolling Stone

"Frequently entertaining the audience with stories about the origins of his songs, Hodgson connects deeply with the fans in a way few stars of his stature do." San Diego Reader

"This is the real deal: a legendary music man, in brilliant form and shimmering presence, supported by a tight, terrific band." Huffington Post

"The power of the music was indisputable with many of the audience in tears of joy at the memories and emotions the songs evoked. It was like seeing Supertramp back in their heyday." Evening Herald
