The Sage in Gateshead is without doubt one of the best venues in the North East in which to stage any musical event and seems to lend itself perfectly to artists such as Prog icon Steve Hackett...
More...
By the time Steve Hackett and the band had reached minute 120 of the lengthy set and after the essential version of Los Endos, I heard a fan nearby say, "Well how do you follow that?"...
More...
'Los Endos' was, to many, the end of classic Genesis and seeing the track performed so immaculately by Steve Hackett was uplifting and yet mildly sad at the same time...
More...
The title says it all, Steve Hackett at the Queen's Hall. In a word, sensational!...
More...
Not too long ago, to be precise just over two years, Steve did a tour that started in "De Boerderij" if I recall correctly...

Guitarist Steve Hackett may be best known for his work with early Genesis in the 1970s and participation in the 80s rock super group GTR, in which he played alongside Yes guitarist Steve Howe. But for over thirty years, he has had a distinguished solo career, releasing a number of exquisitely wrought recordings with a variety of collaborators...
More...
Steve Hackett levert met regelmaat goede albums af, maar de Boerderij in Zoetermeer is toch vooral uitverkocht omdat er een ex-Genesis-legende op het podium staat...
More...

More...
Fittingly for a gig from one of the country's most prestigious music colleges, legendary guitarist Steve Hackett gave a masterclass of progressive rock to a knowledgeable and enthusiastic audience...
More...
Almost two years already since the independant release of Steve's previous album, "Out of the Tunnel's Mouth" (which was to be re-released a few months later by InsideOut Music in an enhanced version with a bonus CD). A new album by one of the most versatile musicians ever - one of the most progressive too, in the wider meaning of this word, is always a major event...
More...

It may seem a strange choice, putting an interview with Steve Hackett in our dedicated acoustic section, The Quiet Room, but we did it after a lot of thought...
More...
There are many superlatives one can use to describe Steve Hackett's work over the decades - marvelous, majestic, magnificent - and all of them apply to his latest masterpiece, Beyond the Shrouded Horizon...
More...
This album all about guitar, about Mr. Stringbender's love for the six strings that made history and also about a lifetime of musical experiences, shifting back and forth from prog rock to clasical, jazz, blues and world music...
More...
A new release by Steve Hackett is always an important event. By far the most prolific, and I think, most consistent of the former Genesis members, the fact that he can still release visionary and relevant music in 2011, and on his 24th solo release, is testament to his talent...
More...
Not only can Steve Hackett see the light at the end of his personal tunnel, but he confesses (as per his previous album) that he had made it Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth...
More...
Steve's new studio album is a kaleidoscope of eclectic styles, pace and moods, from the dramatic and powerful to the dreamy, exotic and beyond but remaining unmistakably Hackett...
More...
Life must be psychologically precarious for Steve Hackett every time he considers writing a new album...
More...
Guitar god still stretching...
More...
His latest cd is called "Beyond the Shrouded Horizon" and takes us on a grand voyage from the misty opening of "Loch Lomand" through to the final 11 minute masterpiece "Turn this island earth"....
More...
The latest album from Steve Hackett is outstanding. It takes in all the various styles that Steve has played over the years, from blues to acoustic to rock, and he even throws in some classical embellishments...
More...
As a member of Genesis for six full-length records and with 24 solo albums to his name, Steve Hackett is a seemingly immortal force at the forefront of progressive rock music...
More...
Steve Hackett is obviously a man who loves to celebrate his life and music, and this is once again evident in his next album, the follow-up to the wonderful 2009 release Out of the Tunnel's Mouth...
More...
The former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett, a well-known figure of the progressive rock scene since the first years, returns with his new album Beyond The Shrouded Horizon...
More...
I was fortunate to receive a review copy of Steve Hackett's new album, "Beyond the Shrouded Horizon," and for those of you who are Hackett fans, this album will not disappoint. If you are new to Hackett, or looking for a place to dive in, I actually think this is a good place to start...
More...
Steve Hackett returns with an album packed with not only sounds but, atmosphere, style and emotion; all condensed into 13 tracks, which is no mean feat...
More...
Continuing the multicultural and musical landscapes of "Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth", Steve Hackett returns to the more elaborate environment of a recording studio in which he created a diamond of an album "Beyond The Shrouded Horizon"...
More...
Steve Hackett is my favorite progressive rock guitarist. This album takes us all over the world, from Scotland, to America, through the Middle East and then out in space..
More...
Steve Hackett, with a solo career of well over 30 years behind him is certainly not resting on his laurels with this album of both literal and metaphorical travellin' tales...
More...
Having several solo albums behind him, Steve Hackett always brings his familiar six string prowess to the table, and all the while keeping it fresh and new...
More...
Steve Hackett first came to the attention of the musical scene when he replaced Anthony Phillips in Genesis...
More...
Steve Hackett is definitely a man who pretty much wrote the book on rock guitar and continues to do so, constantly astounding us with the quality he produces on just about every album he releases...
More...

Released through his own website (Hackettsongs.com) this two disc album represents the first leg of touring to promote his excellent 'Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth' CD and it shows a band at the top of its form...
More...
From the eerie "Intro" of Live Rails your ears are quickly being primed for an eclectic experience...
More...
Live Rails is a Live double disc by the one and only singer/guitarist/songwriter, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Steve Hackett...
More...
You know him, and Steve Hackett's catalogue is prolific: 14 Releases with Genesis (1970-77), 2 Releases with GTR (1986-87), 22 Solo Releases (1970-present), and 12 Live albums. Oh yeah, did I mention that he's a damn fine guitarist and composer...
More...
Prolifique l'ami STEVE ! A peine remis du choc OUT OF THE TUNNEL'S
MOUTH, nous voici un double album live électrique, bien copieux à nous mettre sous la dent, et pourquoi le cacher, voici deux galettes, constituant deux régals, pas moins...
More...
From the moment you listen to the album, the amount of changes from an Electric six string guitar to an Acoustic six string, subsequently morphing into a 12 string - all within the same song Ð is staggering. Steve also couldn't resist throwing in some backwards guitar and an electric sitar on the album as well...
More...
Michael (Webmaster) and I (Editor) arrived early enough to be at the front of the queue and then about 10 minutes later Alan Perry, whom is more than a fan, then joined us. Alan is a quite skilful photographer and he is always a pleasure to chat with...
More...
This new live double from Steve Hackett is an excellent document of his current touring band. Anyone who has seen them in recent times can testify to the power of this unit, the live environment being the best place to experience Hackett to the full...
More...
Als we een conclusie kunnen trekken uit 'Rails' - een dwarsdoorsnede van zijn oeuvre sinds 1971 - dan is het dat Steve Hackett, van alle Genesis-alumni, muzikaal de meest consistente is geweest.
More...
2010 has been a very good year for gigs and I've seen some great shows but my last of the year turned out to be just about the best...
More...
There is already a buzz about this gig. There will be guests. The band is as tight as a gnat's chuff...
More...
There is one very good reason for Genesis fans to rejoice right now, and that is the fact that original guitarist Steve Hackett is back, and flying the Prog Rock flag at full mast...
More...
Since the release of his acclaimed 'Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth' album, Steve Hackett seems to have enjoyed something of an enhanced public profile, and like his previous visit in 2009, this gig attracted one of the bigger crowds I can remember seeing at the Robin, even matching the packed house that Steve Lukather had pulled in ten days before...
More...
One of the great guitarists, with an electric band that was on fire, playing a sublime 135 minute set with energy and passion that would fuel half a dozen younger bands...
More...
On the drive home after seeing Steve Hackett in Glasgow, a new thought enters my head...

Steve Hackett, formerly the best known of the guitarists who played with Genesis. His solo career has been long and variegated, and I was looking forward to his performance...
More...
Steve Hackett was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year as a member of Genesis, but the esteemed guitarist can't but help feeling a bit distant from that award. After all, Hackett, who performs Friday at the Palace Theatre in Greensburg, left that band 30 years ago...

by legal issues, Out of the Tunnel's Mouth hit my doorstep just days before Hackett's Glasgow show, just in time to get
cosy with the new songs...
More...
Steve Hackett is a guitarist we hear from too infrequently (then again with guys like Hackett, Martin Barre,
David Gilmour, I'd be happy to hear new music from them monthly!)
More...
The lowest profile member of the classic Genesis line-up, Steve Hackett is nonetheless easily the most prolific (with over twenty solo studio albums to his credit)...
More...
As even the most newbie progger knows, Steve Hackett always has his
fingers in plenty of pies including dalliances with classical, blues and acoustic music...

collaborating with the likes of Chris Squire for the highly anticipated Squackett album...
More...
Well the train on the road tour finally pulled into Shepherds Bush Empire, I arrived to the gig

Voir Steve Hackett,

en concert, était donc forcément pour moi un peu magique.
More...

Ed è in gran forma.
More...
This album has apparently been recorded entirely in Steve's
living room but I doubt he got everyone in at once.

More...

themes. (Click here, then scroll down to read this review)
More...
The new album by Steve Hackett has been eagerly awaited by fans for a while now and for once the anticipation of a new offering by an artist has been well worth the wait.
More...
With the kind of impeccable synchronicity that we should expect
from one of progressive rock's all time great's, Steve Hackett's return to solo career action coincides
with the ongoing wholesale re-evaluation of his years as guitarist with Genesis.
More...
Though recently in the news for the wrong reasons, Steve
Hackett's 29th solo album is something rather special.
More...
For his new album, Steve HACKETT puts on the covers again with an opus that's
coming back to the international colours: "Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth".
More...
"Last Train To Istanbul and other nomadic interludes"
Steve Hackett's new album, Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth reviewed in typically biased fashion
by: Alan Hewitt.
More...
One of the great things about being a fan of Genesis is that each member or former member of the
band has a deep solo career to explore.
More...
It's testament to Steve Hackett's musical integrity that he has
consistently ridden roughshod over the fluctuating music scene and eschewed commercial
considerations, 'Spectral Mornings' aside, to build a substantial body of solo work outside
of his Genesis past.
