Todd Rundgren

Todd Rundgren first broke into the music business in the late ’60s with the band Nazz, for whom he wrote “Open Your Eyes” and “Hello It’s Me.” He then released several solo albums, including 1972’s “Something/Anything?” (which featured a re-recording of “Hello It’s Me”) and then founded the rock band Utopia, a group that drew on prog, power-pop and new wave. In 1983, Rundgren released one of his best-known songs, “Bang the Drum All Day.”

In addition to his own work, Rundgren is also a well-respected studio artist who’s produced albums for Hall & Oates, XTC, Psychedelic Furs, and Meat Loaf. Rundgren has also continued to release solo albums, including 2017’s “White Knight,” which featured guest spots from Robyn, Joe Walsh and Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor.
