SUMMARY:TODD RUNDGREN: DAMNED IF I DO TOUR
DESCRIPTION:Considered by many to be the “Ultimate Rock Cult Hero”\, Todd Rundgren has maintained a legion of fans through four decades. A pop savant who fastidiously avoided easy categorization throughout the course of his career\, Todd Rundgren straddled the gap separating a mainstream star from a cult figure. It was in the late 1960s when Todd’s searing guitar work reached a nationwide audience\, in his role as lead guitarist for the blues-psychedelic band Nazz. He wrote and arranged almost all of the work that went into the three albums the group produced. Their music ranged from Southern blues to hard rock to heavily orchestrated symphonies. Nazz broke up in the early 1970s and Todd released two solo albums under the name of Runt. His first big solo success was in 1971 with “We Gotta Get You a Woman” and in 1973 from the double album “Something/Anything?” he scored big on the charts with “I Saw the Light” and a revision of a Nazz song\, “Hello\, It’s Me.” In the late 1970s and through the 1980s Todd formed the group Utopia\, each member an accomplished musician and vocalist. Rundgren toured in late 2019 with Micky Dolenz\, Jason Scheff\, Christopher Cross and Joey Molland of Badfinger in celebration of the Beatles’ White Album on the “It Was Fifty Years Ago Today – A Tribute to the Beatles’ White Album”. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021. \nBuy Now\n\nVIP MERCHANDISE PACKAGE IS ALSO AVAILABLE.  CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE.

Ernie Berru as David Lee Roth is so uncanny and convincing it’s got to be witnessed to be believed. From Diamond Dave’s unmistakable costumes to his signature scream and unique vocal delivery\, Ernie delivers the swagger and bravado second only to Roth himself! Derek Fuller as Edward Van Halen recreates Edward’s classic guitar tone\, playing every riff and solo with as much fury and technique as Edward himself\, while capturing all of the enthusiasm and flash of Eddie’s engaging live personality. Andy Catt as Michael Anthony looks strikingly like Michael and supplies the low-end bass groove\, high-end energy\, and most importantly the high harmony backing vocals\, which is essential in delivering the quintessential signature sound of Van Halen. Michael Thompson as Alex Van Halen behind his enormous circa 1981 18-piece double-barreled bass drum Ludwig kit delivers the thunderous rhythms and heavy artillery with all the enthusiasm\, energy and ear-to-ear grin that Alex brought to Van Halen. You won’t believe your eyes or ears when you come to a FAN HALEN show as you’ll feel like it’s 1984 all over again! \nNightSnake is a celebration and tribute to the music of Whitesnake\, plus much more!
