‘Under A Mediterranean Sky’ is Steve Hackett’s first acoustic solo album since ‘Tribute’ in 2008 and takes inspiration from Steve’s extensive travels around the Mediterranean with his wife Jo.
Working closely with long-time musical partner Roger King, Hackett has used his time during 2020’s Lockdown to take us on an extraordinary musical journey around the Mediterranean, painting vivid images of stunning landscapes and celebrating the diverse cultures of the region.
”A lot of acoustic ideas had been forming over the years, and it felt like the perfect time to create this album” notes Hackett before adding ”A time to contemplate the places we’ve visited around the Mediterranean with the kind of music which evolved from the world of imagination. Because we can’t really travel, substantially at the moment, I hope that the album will take people on that journey. Whether you sit down and listen to it or drift off to it with a glass of wine…”Track Listing:
