Steve Hogarth (Marillion) - H Natural

Known simply as "h", Steve has been the lyricist and lead singer of Marillion for more than 37 years, helping shape one of progressive rock's most celebrated catalogues. Before Marillion, he was a founding member of The Europeans and How We Live, while also collaborating with artists including The The, Julian Cope, Richard Barbieri and Trevor Horn.

Born in Kendal in England's Lake District and raised in Doncaster, Steve now lives in Oxfordshire, just around the corner from Marillion's studio, The Racket Club.

After more than four decades performing around the world, this long-awaited Australian debut marks a landmark moment for fans.

"My desire to play in Australia has been constant for years but sadly, Marillion never found a way to come and break even, so I thought I'd better come on my own."

Unlike a traditional concert, H Natural has no set list. Every performance is created in the moment, with songs, stories and conversations shaped by the audience, ensuring that no two shows are ever the same.

"The show will go where the audience and I take it. We'll just feel for it. For me, that's pretty scary, but it's always worth the nerves."

Throughout the evening, Steve shares stories from his remarkable career, reads from his diaries, reflects on the people and experiences that have shaped him, and performs stripped-back versions of Marillion favourites, solo material, and songs that have inspired him by artists as diverse as Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Rufus Wainwright, Kraftwerk, ABBA and Kate Bush.

Honest, spontaneous and deeply personal, H Natural offers a rare opportunity to experience one of progressive rock's most distinctive voices up close in an intimate setting.
