The Road To Utopia, A Tribute to Todd Rundgren featuring The Gary Backstrom Band, comes to The Regent Theatre in Arlington, MA on Friday, June 7, 2019, to benefit
The Alzheimer’s Music Project.
THE GARY BACKSTROM BAND
The Gary Backstrom Band
is a high energy, original, innovative act featuring the infectious
licks and songwriting of nationally recognized guitarist Gary Backstrom.
The band's music features clever, hook-filled songwriting and
arrangements with intense interaction among the musicians. The band’s
unique sound is exciting, unpredictable improvisation that can only be
heard in the best live acts on the scene today.
TODD RUNDGREN
A Wizard, A True Star. The title of Todd Rundgren's
1973 solo album aptly sums up the contributions of this multi-faceted
artist to state-of-the-art music. As a songwriter, video pioneer,
producer, recording artist, computer software developer, conceptualist,
and, most recently, interactive artist (re-designated TR-i), Rundgren
has made a lasting impact on both the form and content of rock music.
THE ALZHEIMER’S MUSIC PROJECT
This performance, in part, is a benefit for The Alzheimer’s Music Project. Located
in the heart of Western Massachusetts, the Alzheimer’s Music Project’s
mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals living with
Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia by providing a compact,
mp3 player, and a personalized music playlist of their most beloved
songs and artists. Research has shown that familiar and beloved music
helps to calm chaotic brain activity in people with Alzheimer’s and
they’re more able to focus on the present moment and regain a sense of
his/her connection to others.
