InsideOut Music reports:

North America will soon see the release of STEVE HACKETT's new album, Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth.

The album is scheduled to hit streets on June 8th via InsideOut Music. Released late last year in the world-renowned guitarist/composer's native UK, Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth is a rock album which features beautifully-sweeping symphonic sounds highlighted by Hackett's signature soaring guitar and unsullied vocals. The tracks contain a mélange of influences from classical to Middle Eastern and showcase Hackett's prowess as a composer with the ability to meld seemingly disparate styles.

Although majestic in sound and scope, Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth was recorded in Hackett's living room and produced in a virtual studio there by longtime writing partner, keyboardist and producer Roger King.

Hackett and his accomplished electric band is scheduled to hit the road in North America early this summer in support of Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth (tour dates to be announced).

In other news, Hackett was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame on March 15th in The 25th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2010 Induction Ceremony alongside his GENESIS bandmates from the classic line-up: Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford.

For more than three decades, Steve Hackett has been known for his innovative tone and extraordinary versatility as a guitarist and composer. He helped define Genesis' sound as lead guitarist in the classic line-up and went on to have a highly-successful career as a solo artist, and also as part of 80s supergroup GTR with Steve Howe.
