Roger will come with his band to Pechanga. To hear the band you can go to his website, RogerHodgson.com . He just released a CD called Classics Live and you can preview the tracks which were recorded live with his band during his 2010 World Tour. Track list includes Breakfast in America, The Logical Song, Take the Long Way Home, Give a Little Bit, Dreamer, School and more. Tickets go on sale Nov 12 but there is a fan presale starting Nov 10. You can find info about it on Roger's facebook. If you want the best seats then that's the way to go. Pechanga is a small venue and the tickets go pretty fast.

What a night Roger Hodgson gave us when he performed at Pechanga earlier this year. He was absolutely fabulous! It was so wonderful to hear him perform all of the classics he wrote and composed such as The Logical Song, School, Breakfast in America, Take the Long Way Home, Dreamer, Give a Little Bit, Fool's Overture, and so very many more. He also performed some amazing material from his solo albums. Roger sounds even better today than he did 30 years ago. Do yourself a favor and get to his shows at Pechanga in February. You will be so very glad that you did.

For those who have never see Roger in concert or who have never seen him perform with a backing band, here are a couple of links I found on Youtube:

Breakfast in America, with backing Band, Festival Vina Del Mar, Chile 2009 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ale7K7...

The Logical Song, with backing Band, Festival Vina Del Mar, Chile 2009 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gGisF...

Pechanga tickets go on sale November 12 with a presale starting November 10. The password is "School." Get your tickets early for the best seats. Visit Roger's website at www.RogerHodgson.com or his Facebook page at www.facebook.com/RogerHodgsonOfficial for more information.

From the time Roger walks onto the stage you feel his music, love and compassion. His voice sounds better than ever and he spends his time interacting with the sea of faces before him. Be warned, once you have seen one performance, you will return again and again........ Roger has been touring with the multi-instrumentalist Arron McDonald for the last five years. Both men create such a full sound; it is not a far stretch to state that other instruments are not necessary.

He is planning an U.S. tour during the 2011 season and Pechanga is the first shows of his touring season. Without a doubt in my mind, he will be as amazing as he was earlier this year when he started his 2010 at Pechanga..... Yes I am a big fan, come join me……. You will not be disappointed......promise. :0)

An amazing performer! If you've never been to a concert, or plan to see just one concert this year, then see Roger Hodgson! Gotta warn you though - you're going to find a way to see him again and again. You're going to hear songs that rock and that you can understand the words to - the best of Supertramp!

All you have to do is see Roger Hodgson once & you will be forever changed... you'll find yourself dreaming of his next show & even the one after that! Very few artists have an unchanged voice after all these years, and I promise you Roger never disappoints. He is the genius behind the many hits of Supertramp, such as "Dreamer", "Logical Song", "Give A Little Bit", "Breakfast In America", and this is the Breakfast In America World Tour with a full band! The audience will soon become your friends, sharing in all of the joy and the beautiful, ethereal music. Just imagine him, with his twelve-string guitar... "Even in the quietest moments, I wish I knew..." From one heart to another, go see him. You will leave glowing from the inside, your soul uplifted & a guaranteed smile on your face. :) "You find your way," & "I'll meet you when you're there!" :)
