Steve HackettEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

What happens when two of progressive music's most distinctive guitar voices finally make the album they've been talking about for almost a decade? In this episode of MyMusic , Graham Coath welcomes Steve Rothery (Marillion) back to the show to discuss The Roaring Waves , his long-awaited collaborative album with Steve Hackett (Genesis), released on 28 August 2026 . Steve shares the story behind a project that began in 2016 and slowly evolved into a collection of cinematic instrumental pieces inspired by the sea, memory, atmosphere and the landscapes that shaped his childhood. From Whitby's dramatic coastline to the creative chemistry he shares with Steve Hackett, this is a fascinating conversation about patience, collaboration and allowing music to breathe. The discussion explores why The Roaring Waves is far more than a "guitar album", how the pair avoided turning it into a showcase of technical playing, and why creating emotion will always matter more than playing the most notes. Steve also talks about the album's collaborators, the challenge of finishing a project nearly nine years in the making, and hints at plans for a second album together. Along the way, Graham and Steve reflect on Marillion's early comparisons with Genesis, life on the road, the changing way people listen to music, and why albums that encourage listeners to slow down are perhaps more important now than ever. If you love progressive rock, atmospheric instrumental music, or simply hearing world-class musicians discuss the creative process with honesty and humour, this is an episode not to miss. Featuring discussion on: The making of The Roaring Waves Working with Steve Hackett The inspiration behind The Black Sea Growing up by the sea and its influence on songwriting Why emotion always beats technical perfection Marillion, Genesis and nearly 50 years of musical history Whether there could be a second Hackett/Rothery album Sponsored by 13th Floor Sound , an independent record label dedicated to keeping real music alive.

The second part of an interview I did with Steve while we were recording our new album 'The Roaring Waves' together. We talked about the early days of Genesis, stage disasters and solo careers. The first track from the new album, The Black Sea, was released on the 26th June and has already had over 360,000 plays on Youtube https://youtu.be/OIASJN57KlM?si=whx0JIUQtp7Anh6b join the substack email newsletter at steverothery.com to be updated on future episodes.

Matt and Rob sit down with the legendary progressive rock guitarist, Steve Hackett formerly of GENESIS and GTR Steve talks about his current tour (recently winding down) called FOXTROT AT FIFTY, what the term progressive means, what John Lennon said about Genesis, his incredible new album "The Circus and the Nightwhale" and more. We had 30 minutes to talk to Steve which in itself is incredible since he was in the middle of a tour of the US. ******** JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT STEVE HACKETT: Steve Hackett is renowned as an immensely talented and innovative rock musician. He was lead guitarist with Genesis as part of their classic line up with Gabriel, Collins, Banks and Rutherford, that produced acclaimed albums such as Selling England by the Pound (a favourite of John Lennon). With Steve's extraordinary versatility in both his electric guitar playing and his composing, he involves influences from many genres, including Jazz, World Music and Blues. He is equally adept in his classical albums that include renditions of pieces by composers from Bach to Satie, his own acoustic guitar compositions that have gained the admiration of many, including Yehudi Menuhin, and ambitious guitar/ orchestra albums such as A Midsummer Night's Dream, recorded with the Royal Philharmonic. With Genesis, Steve's guitar playing produced some of the most memorable moments, from the sensitivity of his acoustic sound on Horizons and Blood on the Rooftops to the dramatic rock guitar solos of Firth of Fifth and Fountain of Salmacis. As he embarked on his solo career he developed his exceptional range, pushing musical boundaries into exciting areas, inventing new sounds and also techniques such as 'tapping'. His solo career went from strength to strength and the mid eighties not only saw the hit single Cell 151, but also the Steve Hackett and Steve Howe super group GTR, highly successful in America. ************ You can find STEVE at hackettsongs.com, Facebook and Instagram (@stevehackettofficial) Be sure to listen to his incredible new album THE CIRCUS AND THE NIGHTWHALE! ************ KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.

Steve Hackett is not only a truly talented guitarist and songwriter but he's a bit of a workaholic. He rewards his fans by touring the world every year, releasing new material on a regular basis and live albums from the themed tours he's led. And though he's in the midst of his Foxtrot at 50 Tour (for which he's already released a live album) we're proud to welcome him back to The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast (hear him ahead of the Foxtrot at 50 Tour on UAWIL #87) as he wraps up his final leg of the tour. The Circus and The Nightwhale is his latest release, an autobiographical concept album of his life growing up near Battersea Power Station, forging out into the world of rock music and eventually finding happiness in his life. It's the most prog/concept album he's offered since he was in Genesis and he speaks with us about how he approached this album differently than others. The opening track People of the Smoke stirs memories of growing up in London and sets the tone for a brilliant album full of tapping, tremolos and other tricks at which Steve is so adept. Hear Steve talk about channeling Jeff Beck, using one of Brian May's guitars and why you don't want him playing bass on your album. He's proud that the album has hit #1 on the UK Rock Chart and to be celebrated on the cover of Prog Magazine. In the second part of the episode, The Wolf & Action Jackson travel to Jacksonville, FL to hear Steve debut songs from The Circus and The Nightwhale live, to hear Foxtrot in its entirety and some classic Hackett solo songs as well.

Roger Dean and Steve Hackett discuss art, music and how they have both been inspired by the culture and spirituality of the Far East in this engaging conversation... Steve Hackett Steve Hackett is a singer, songwriter, musician and producer who began his incredible career as the lead guitarist for genesis. He began his solo career in 1975 with the album ‘Voyage of the Acolyte’ and went on to form GTR with Steve Howe, which was when Hackett and I first began working together. We often have conversations about the creative process and I have always felt an affinity with his way of creating art and stories through his music so I felt that for our first episode of the podcast we would be able to hit the ground running. As predicted I could have continued talking to Steve much longer and hope to have him back but for now, I hope you enjoy our discussion as much as I did and welcome to the podcast. http://www.hackettsongs.com/
