Rock and roll unicorn Todd Rundgren finally returns to downtown Clearwater on Saturday

Don’t take Mr. “Hello It’s Me” for granted, now.

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.”

Tickets to see Todd Rundgren play Clearwater's Bilheimer Capitol Theatre on Saturday, May 25 and Sunday, May 26 are still available and start at $49.50.
