Steve Hackett was lead guitarist for the classic 1970s lineup of pioneering progressive rock group Genesis, originally led by Peter Gabriel and known for such landmark albums as Selling England by the Pound and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. He was among the first rock guitarists to employ the two-handed tapping technique later adopted by countless players. In the 1980s, he and Yes/Asia guitarist Steve Howe formed the band GTR, which scored a Top 20 single with “When the Heart Rules the Mind.”

Hackett’s current tour features material from his wide-ranging solo career as well as a re-creation of Genesis’ acclaimed 1977 live double-album, Seconds Out, which included many of the band’s signature songs.
