If you felt like something was a little off about the 2023 live music calendar, it may have been that Todd Rundgren didn’t swing by.
In the last decade, the 75-year-old rock and roll chameleon has gifted Tampa Bay with two Beatles tribute shows, a two-night stint in which he would perform one side of A Wizard, A True Star per evening, and even a reunited Utopia in 2018.
Most recently, he co-headlined a gig with Daryl Hall in downtown St. Petersburg, and this weekend’s two-nighter in downtown Clearwater will see Rundgren showcase a career retrospective, including tracks as recent as a Rivers Cuomo-free version of 2022’s “Down With The Ship.”
