Steve Hogarth

Steve Hogarth is best known 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. Eight years after his last live show in the city, Steve “H” Hogarth returned to Rome. For the recording of “SPQR”, he, once again, was accompanied by Italian band RanestRane, who provided acoustic instrumentation with harp, mandolin, harmonium and tablas. For this show, reimagining Marillion classics and solo material through cinematic arrangements, they were also joined by the Flowing Chords choir.
