In 1979, as the Oregon Zoo
prepared to launch its first sum
mer concert series, Supertramp’s
“Breakfast in America” was en
sconced at No. 1 on the Bill
board album charts, held aloft
for six weeks by Top 10 hits like
“Take the Long Way Home”
and “The Logical Song.”
Supertramp, at least the way
we knew them then, is no more,
but Roger Hodgson, who wrote
and sang nearly all the group’s
best-known songs, is back this
year after almost three decades
away from the spotlight.
Hodgson brings his “Breakfast
in America” tour to town Friday,
Aug. 10 as part of the zoo’s sum-
Advertise in Hlc Portland
mer concert series, presented by
Regence BlueCross BlueShield
of Oregon with support from U.S.
Bank and Toyota.
A multi-instrumentalist and
founding member of Supertramp,
Hodgson helped the band to
widespread success over eight
albums through the 1970s and
early ’80s, p roducing such
memorable hits as “Dreamer,”
“Give a Little Bit” and “It’s Rain
ing Again.”
Tickets are $28 and can be
purchased at the zoo duririg nor
mal operating hours. Tickets can
also be purchased (with service
charge) at all Ticketmaster ticket
centers.
