To quote Steve Hogarth speaking about an English saying: “When in Rome…find yourself an amazing Italian band and gig with them.”

Said and done – Steve Hogarth played a local show in Rome at Sala Sinopoli, joined by the Italian band RanestRane and the Flowing Chords choir. This extraordinary night will be released as a new album on January 16th, titled ‘SPQR – Live From Sala Sinopoli, Roma, II.III.MMXXIV.’

Though the concert has already earned its place in Rome’s musical history, listening to the album or watching the accompanying concert film evokes the vivid sense of being there. With his emotive voice, expressive delivery, and intimate piano playing, Hogarth creates a deeply personal atmosphere.

Look forward to fantastic live versions of ‘Thank You Whoever You Are’, ‘Go!’ and ‘Estonia’, as well as magnificent renditions of The Beatles’ ‘All You Need Is Love’.

The first single, a wonderful take on Leonard Cohen’s ‘Famous Blue Raincoat’, is already out now.
