Todd Rundgren knows his audience, and that’s exactly what makes a Todd Rundgren show unpredictable in the best way. The famed singer-songwriter heads out on the 23-city “Damned If I Do” tour starting June 11 at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, Illinois, wrapping July 19 at the Cabot Theater in Beverly, Massachusetts.
Rundgren put it plainly: “It’s always a challenge for me because my audience is so diverse, I never know what they’re in the mood for. I want to make sure we have all the musical ammunition we need to satisfy the spectrum.” That philosophy has driven one of rock’s most eclectic catalogs, and it drives the setlist every night. Expect fan favorites across five decades of deeply individual songwriting.
Joining Rundgren each night is a tight road unit: Gil Assayas on keys, Bruce McDaniel on guitar, Prairie Prince on drums, Bobby Strickland on horns, and Kasim Sulton on bass. That’s a band built for range, capable of handling everything from power pop to prog to soul without breaking stride.
The routing covers the Midwest, the South, Florida, the Mid-Atlantic, and New England, with two nights each in Clearwater, Glenside, and a string of strong theater and mid-size venues well-suited to Rundgren’s catalog. The Caverns in Pelham, Tennessee on July 3 is a particularly striking stop.
