Todd Rundgren’s Utopia Return for Spring North American Tour
Todd Rundgren will get back together with mid-'70s members of Utopia for a North American tour lasting from April through June.
He's joined by bassist Kasim Sulton, drummer Willie Wilcox and keyboardist Ralph Shuckett. A complete list of these newly announced dates, cities and venues is below. Various VIP packages are available at the official Utopia site.
Rundgren began off-and-on reunions with various members of Utopia in 2011. Schuckett (who was originally in Utopia from 1974-75) and Sulton have made regular appearances. Sulton is in his fourth stint with Utopia, having previously joined Rundgren in 1976-82, 1982-86 and 1992. Wilcox was with Utopia from 1975-86 and then took part in the 1992 reunion.
Rundgren is coming off a guest-packed solo album from last year. White Knight featured Joe Satriani ("This Is Not a Drill") and Donald Fagen ("Tin Foil Hat"), as well as Joe Walsh, Trent Reznor and Daryl Hall.
