Fans disappointed in not hearing their preferred Todd Rundgren song on recent tours might be in luck this time around.

The 77-year-old prog-rock wizard promises to play more familiar songs when his “Damned If I Do” band—which includes bassist Kasim Sulton and drummer Prairie Prince in addition to keyboardist Gil Assayas, guitarist Bruce McDaniel, and horns master Bobby Strickland—comes to the Cap.

He’s even going to let a fan onstage for one song to, um, bang the drum.

Tickets to see Todd Rundgren at Bilheimer Capitol Theatre in Clearwater on Thursday, June 25 are still available and start at $65.50.
