Rock’n’roll icon, guitar genius, interactive progenitor, consummate singer/songwriter and record producer Todd Rundgren, will get up close and personal with four rare UK concerts in October 2011. Dates include HMV Ritz, Manchester on Saturday 1st October, and The London Jazz Café on Monday 3rd October, Tuesday 4th October and Wednesday 5th October.

This year’s intimate dates mark Rundgren’s first UK shows since 2010’s sold-out London Hammersmith Apollo concert where he performed the entirety of his 1973 milestone album
A Wizard, A True Star. These will be Todd’s only UK concerts in 2011.

Todd will be performing “An Evening with Todd Rundgren”, universally described by the US press as “The greatest hits tour his fans have been waiting to see for years”.

ROCK’S ORIGINAL RENAISSANCE MAN —- An acclaimed record producer, composer, songwriter, and recording artist, Rundgren is widely regarded as the acknowledged godfather of the marriage of music and multimedia. Having founded and fronted The Nazz, the quintessential `60’s power-pop psychedelic band, in 1969 he left that band to pursue a solo career, recording his debut offering, the classic Runt.

It was 1972’s seminal 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. Among Rundgren’s impressive 50+ production projects are albums by Patti Smith, Cheap Trick, Psychedelic Furs, XTC, Grand Funk Railroad, Hall & Oates, and Meat Loaf’s perennially multi-platinum debut “Bat Out Of Hell.”
