Most Recent Solo Release
A collaboration with Richard Barbieri "Not The Weapon But The Hand"
is released on February 27 2012. Here's what the Montreal Gazette had to say:
"With ambitious visions that stretch beyond the progressive-rock box both bands have been unfairly stuffed into, it makes sense that members of Porcupine Tree and Marillion would join forces, and it makes sense the result wouldn't be terribly proggy. Marillion frontman Hogarth and Porcupine Tree keyboardist Barbieri find common ground by interlocking the former's oblique drama with the latter's alien atmospheres. That's as close as the pair come to a formula: Hogarth's murmured recitation hovers in Red Kite, while A Cat with Seven Souls is initially grounded by burbling funk and Crack charges close to drum-and-bass territory. The speak-sing vocals add more colour to Hogarth's already kaleidoscopic range, and Barbieri brings an endless invention to his off-kilter soundscaping. Even by the standards of these players, this is the sound of freedom."

Biography
Ancient history..
Before joining Marillion, Steve was keyboard player and co-vocalist for the Europeans from 1981 to 1984, releasing the albums Vocabulary, Europeans Live, and Recurring Dreams. After brief success in Europe and the US with the Europeans, Steve left the band with guitarist Colin Woore to record under the name How We Live, releasing one album Dry Land (the title track of which was subsequently covered by Marillion on Holidays in Eden) in 1987.
In 1997 Steve recorded his first solo album outside Marillion. Ice Cream Genius was released under the band name "h" in Europe, and later in the US simply as "Steve Hogarth." After touring with the all-star "h Band" from 2000-2003 and releasing a double live album Live Spirit Live Body; the latest incarnation of h Band had writing sessions in early 2005, but no definite plans on a second album have yet surfaced.
The start of 2006 saw Steve embark on his "h Natural" project - a series of intimate shows featuring just h and a piano playing songs from his entire career, and songs by other artists that have influenced him over the years. The "h Tunes" web site www.h-tunes.com was launched to make these shows available to download, while 2007 saw the release of the aptly titled h Natural DVD - a complete film of one of the shows, recorded in Sheffield. In 2008 he released a second h Natural DVD "Naked In The Chapel" of the live show at London's Union Chapel and 2010 saw the release of a best-of-live CD "Natural Selection".
