Todd Rundgren
Todd Rundgren is a musician, songwriter, video pioneer, producer, computer software developer, conceptualist, and, most recently, interactive artist. He began by founding and fronting The Nazz, the quintessential 60's cult group and in 1969, left to pursue a solo career, recording his debut, the legendary Runt. But it was 1972's Something/Anything?, on which he played all the instruments, sang all the vocal parts, and acted as his own producer, that catapulted Todd into the superstar limelight. The album was followed by such landmark LPs as The Hermit of Mink Hollow and A Wizard, A True Star. Some of his hit singles include “I Saw The Light,” “Hello It's Me,” “Can We Still Be Friends,” and “Bang The Drum.” In 1974, Rundgren formed Utopia, a band that combined technical virtuosity and passion to create music that, for millions, defined the term "progressive rock." He’s also produced albums by Patti Smith, Cheap Trick, Psychedelic Furs, Meatloaf, XTC, Grand Funk Railroad, and Hall And Oates, among others. Todd’s latest studio album, STATE, was released on April 9, and he continues to tour with Ringo Starr as an erstwhile member of the All-Starr Band.
