Steve Hogarth

Steve "H" Hogarth was born in 1959 in England. Hogarth's first musical endeavor was as the keyboardist/part-time vocalist for a group called the Europeans. He formed a short-lived group called "How We Live" with Europeans guitarist Colin Woore. They released one disc called Dry Land. He also has done session work with The The, Toni Childs, and Julian Cope. Best know he is as the charismatic frontman and lyricist of legendary British band Marillion. Renowned for his expressive voice, poetic lyrics and emotional performances, Hogarth has helped shape the band’s evolution into one of the most enduring and respected acts in progressive rock. Outside Marillion, Steve has carved out a rich solo career that allows him to explore music in a more personal, cinematic way. His solo releases and collaborations, including projects with Richard Barbieri and the Italian progressive band RanestRane, reveal his gift for storytelling and atmosphere, blending rock, classical, and ambient influences with emotional honesty. Hogarth is celebrated for his ability to connect deeply with audiences, whether on grand stages or in stripped-down, acoustic settings. His songwriting often examines love, loss, spirituality and human resilience, delivered through a voice that remains one of the most unique and emotive in modern rock. His only solo album to date, Ice Cream Genius, was released in 1997.
