Stephen’s latest album ROADS includes three original songs: “Morning Star,” “Wings of the Dawn,” and “Hope;” his piano arrangement of “In the Hall of the Mountain King” by Edvard Grieg; and his interpretations of three songs from the 1977 Rankin/Bass animated production of The Hobbit: “Roads,” “Misty Mountains Cold,” and “The Greatest Adventure.”

Maury Laws, the composer of The Hobbit soundtrack and other Rankin/Bass productions such as The Year Without a Santa Claus and Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town, called ROADS “most enjoyable.” Another listener described the songs as “quite haunting and beautiful at the same time. Very enjoyable."

George Winston’s seminal albums Autumn, December, Winter into Spring, Summer, and Forest were Stephen’s initial inspiration for the piano. Playing the piano and composing began in earnest for him more than a decade ago when he heard “Snow on High Ground,” an instrumental piece by Nightnoise composed by Triona Ni Dhomhnaill. Primarily a solo piano composition, the song inspired Stephen to enroll at the New Jersey School of Music for a year before beginning to compose his own pieces while self-studying the piano.

The result was TAMARAC. Inspired by a beautiful area in New Jersey where he lives, the album is his musical interpretation of a typical summer day in Tamarac.

Stephen enjoys composing and listening to the music of solo piano artists and instrumental composers.

USED TO BE DEEPER PRODUCTIONS.
ENJOY THE MUSIC.

Supertramp are a progressive rock British band established in 1969 by co-founders Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies.  Hodgson, writer and composer of the great majority of the band’s greatest hits, has the distinctive voice that people think of when they reminisce about the band.    Many people are not aware that although Hodgson and Davies shared writing credit, they actually wrote and composed separately with each singing their own songs.

The 1974 album release, Crime of the Century, contained Hodgson’s song Dreamer, which was the band’s first commercial hit.   The next album, 1977’s Even in the Quietest Moments, saw Hodgson’s Give a Little Bit win international acclaim.  In 1979, the band released their most commercially successful album, Breakfast in America, which went on to sell over 20 million copies.  Hodgson’s title track, Breakfast in America, plus The Logical Song, and Take the Long Way Home, along with Davies’ Goodbye Stranger were the standout singles from this album with the tracks still being played on the radio today. 
 
Hodgson left the band in 1983 to raise his small children and pursue his spiritual beliefs.  Davies continued recording under the name Supertramp.  However, the band did not reach the level of commercial success they had attained when Hodgson was with them. 
  
Hodgson tours extensively worldwide every year and performs solo, with band, and with orchestra.   After not touring for eight years, Davies toured as Supertramp in 2011.
