The WMNF 70th Birthday Tribute to Todd Rundgren

Share

Advanced sales have ended at WMNF, by phone & on-line, however we have plenty of tickets to sell at the door for $15 (or hit the Hub Bar or Inkwood Books, downtown Tampa) ~ Will-call table and the door should be open by 6:30pm, if not sooner…  Hope to see you there!

Todd Rundgren  is an eclectic, multi-faceted and innovative artist, deserving of a WMNF tribute on his 70th birthday.  Since the early 1960’s, he has been known for his sophisticated and often-unorthodox music, flamboyant stage outfits, and experimental approach to music. He also is noted music producer who pioneered forms of multi-media and computer use with music.
