Veteran performer and producer Todd Rundgren is going to bring his 1973 classic `A Wizard, a True Star` to life on a British stage.
Rundgren will perform the 35 year old recording on Saturday, February 6 at the Hammersmith Apollo in London.‘A Wizard, a True Star’ was the follow-up to his break through album ‘Something/Anything’. While it wasn’t a commercial success along the lines of its predecessor, the experimental and progressive album was considered influential for many of the acts that followed. Hot Chip hail the album as a influential masterpiece.
Rundgren will perform the album from Start to finish in the second half of the show. The first half will be a collection of songs spanning his entire career, followed by ‘A Wizard, a True Star’.
