Robin Zander is coming home for the holidays. The Safety Harbor resident, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Cheap Trick Frontman had yet another hectic year, opening for Heart and overseeing a handful of live releases.

Tickets to see Cheap Trick play Hard Rock Event Center in Tampa on Tuesday, Dec. 17 are still available and start at $110.
