Valentine’s Week exclusive! Former Genesis guitarist and composer Steve Hackett, a living legend of progressive rock, will perform tracks from the classic album Wind and Wuthering and other fan favorites: “The Musical Box,” “Inside and Out,” “Anyway” and several Genesis songs never before performed by his band.
For this concert, which celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Wind and WutheringLP, Hackett and his band will also perform some of his own popular hits, such as “The Steppes,” “Serpentine Song,” “Every Day,” and the first-ever live performance of “Rise Again,” from his acclaimed 1999 album, Darktown. This performance will also introduce some of Hackett’s latest music, including material from a forthcoming album, due out in spring 2017.
Hackett was the lead guitarist for Genesis as part of that group’s classic lineup, along with Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford. In addition to the seven classic LPs he released with Genesis, Hackett has released more than 30 solo albums as well as one with the super group GTR, in which he worked together with Steve Howe of Yes and Asia. Widely considered to be one of the most innovative rock musicians of all time, Hackett was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
Joining Hackett for his 2017 tour are musicians Roger King (keyboards), Gary O’Toole (drums, percussion), Rob Townsend (saxes, flutes), Nick Beggs (bass, stick, twelve string), and Nad Sylvan (vocals).
