Steve Hackett

Steve Hackett abandoned his plans for a career as a harmonica player when he joined Genesis in late 1971. His complex and distinctive playing became an inspiration to many aspiring musicians and was an unmistakable trademark of the 'classic' Genesis line-up. He has since achieved consistent solo success internationally and is perhaps unique in earning the admiration of both rock contemporaries and leading classical players.
