Todd Rundgren plays Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg, Florida on May 27, 2017.

A promo spot that’s running on community radio station WMNF 88.5 FM has drilled the idea that “Todd is God” into our heads. This tribute show finds five bands — including Fauxtopia, which features Mark Warren of the Vodkanauts, Barely Pink and Sara Rose Band — all taking on Todd Rundgren songs before coming together at the end of the night for an all-star sing-along.

WMNF 70th Birthday Tribute to Todd Rundgren w/Barely Pink/Botomatics/The Jackettes/Jordan Esker & the Hundred Percent/Fauxtopia. Fri. June 22, 8 p.m. $12. Skipper’s Smokehouse, 910 Skipper Rd., Tampa. wmnf.org
