First bursting onto the scene with "Something/Anything?", which he produced, performed and played every instrument on, Todd Rundgren has been one of music’s top innovators, influencing everything from power pop to prog rock to today’s bedroom musicians. But for all his technical genius, he also happens to write insanely catchy songs, with hits like “I Saw The Light,” “Hello It's Me” and the arena staple “Bang the Drum.” He's a heck of a producer, too, steering everyone from The Band and Grand Funk Railroad to the New York Dolls, Hall and Oates, and Patti Smith to hit records. Now, with 50 years of cutting-edge music and two honorary doctorates to his name, Rundgren is hitting the road on the world’s first hybrid concert/book tour for his new autobiography. Enjoy an anything-goes evening with Rundgren as he performs live at Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix. [less-]
