Steve Hackett is renowned as an immensely talented and innovative rock musician. As lead guitarist with the star-strewn line-up of 1970s Genesis he made an indelible impression on the fabric of classic rock, demonstrating an unparalleled emotional and technical range that spanned the delicacy of Horizons and the masterful solo of Firth Of Fifth.
Parting company with Genesis in 1977, Steve embarked on a solo career that has spawned dozens of albums, drawing on influences from blues, jazz, classical and ethnic music. Along the way he has collaborated with many of the music world’s leading lights, Steve Howe, Brian May, John Wetton and Paul Carrack chief amongst them, and has been cited by countless guitarists as a major influence.
Supported by some of the best musicians on the planet (Roger King – keyboards, Phil Mulford – bass guitar, Rob Townsend – sax & flute/vocals, Gary O’Toole – drums/vocals, Amanda Lehmann – guitar/vocals), Steve’s unique guitar work remains the fulcrum on which this challenging and exhilarating show is balanced.
