Considered by many to be the “Ultimate Rock Cult Hero”, Todd Rundgren has maintained a legion of fans through four decades. A pop savant who fastidiously avoided easy categorization throughout the course of his career, Todd Rundgren straddled the gap separating a mainstream star from a cult figure. It was in the late 1960s when Todd’s searing guitar work reached a nationwide audience, in his role as lead guitarist for the blues-psychedelic band Nazz. He wrote and arranged almost all of the work that went into the three albums the group produced. Their music ranged from Southern blues to hard rock to heavily orchestrated symphonies. Nazz broke up in the early 1970s and Todd released two solo albums under the name of Runt. His first big solo success was in 1971 with “We Gotta Get You a Woman” and in 1973 from the double album “Something/Anything?” he scored big on the charts with “I Saw the Light” and a revision of a Nazz song, “Hello, It’s Me.” In the late 1970s and through the 1980s Todd formed the group Utopia, each member an accomplished musician and vocalist. Rundgren toured in late 2019 with Micky Dolenz, Jason Scheff, Christopher Cross and Joey Molland of Badfinger in celebration of the Beatles’ White Album on the “It Was Fifty Years Ago Today – A Tribute to the Beatles’ White Album”. He was inducted into the&nbsp;Rock and Roll Hall of Fame&nbsp;in 2021.

Vertical Horizon was founded in the early 1990s, but it was seven years before lead singer Matt Scannell’s songs became the radio hits that brought the popular grassroots band to national attention. Vertical Horizon released three albums independently — There and Back Again (1992), Running on Ice (1995), and Live Stages (1997) — and toured extensively before signing with RCA Records in 1998. Their major-label debut, Everything You Want (1999), went on to sell more than two million copies. The title track, “Everything You Want,” captured the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 and Adult Top 40 charts, and became Billboard’s Most Played Single of 2000. The album garnered further radio attention with the singles, “You’re a God” (#4 on Billboard’s Adult Chart) and “Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning),” the latter of which earned additional acclaim as a top 20 country hit for country star Gary Allan.
Their follow-up album, Go (2003), solidified the band as a no-nonsense pop rock entity. After taking a hiatus to pursue individual interests, Matt began composing the songs that would eventually become Burning the Days (2009), which was released on Vertical Horizon’s independent label, Outfall Records. One of the songs, “Even Now,” was co-written by Scannell and his close friend, Neil Peart, the much-heralded drummer from Rush. Peart played drums on that song as well as two other tracks on the record. Burning the Days was critically acclaimed and produced two Hot AC radio singles, “Save Me from Myself” and “The Lucky One.” Vertical Horizon continued releasing music with Echoes from the Underground (2013), titled after a lyric from a song on the album, “Evermore,” and The Lost Mile (2018).&nbsp;In 2026, Vertical Horizon released its new single, “Last Night of Our Lives” as new music is in the works.
