Kasim Sulton

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov. 20, 2013 - ORLANDO, Fla. -- Singer/Songwriter Kasim Sulton will debut four new songs live from his upcoming album at a party in Orlando hosted by Rundgren Radio on December 30th.  The party is being held at BB Kings on their patio.  Admission is free for any fan that has a ticket to the Todd Rundgren with special guest Pat Travers Band concert the following night on New Year's Eve.  Tickets for the New Year's Eve concert are still on sale at https://rundgrenradio.tix.com.  Sulton will be the bassist for the Todd Rundgren concert.   He regularly tours with Todd and also Blue Oyster Cult.

Sulton's new CD will be available in early 2014 and features some of his friends as guests on several of the songs including but not limited to Jason Scheff of the band Chicago and all of the members of the band Utopia - Todd Rundgren, Roger Powell, and Willie Wilcox.  He's hosting CD release parties at Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland, OH on March 9th and Space in Evanston, IL on March 12th.

Brooklyn-born singer/songwriter Kasim Sulton began his career playing piano for David Bowie's publicist Cherry Vanilla, before joining Todd Rundgren's prog-rock group Utopia in 1976. Kasim played bass and sang vocals in the band for 10 years. During that time, they released six studio albums and Kasim took on more of the lead vocals of the group as well. Kasim also wrote their only Top Forty hit, *Set Me Free.*

Kasim was a part of Meat Loaf*s band from 1993 to 2009 and in 1998 became his Musical Director. Kasim also has the distinction of being the only musician, apart from Meat Loaf, who performs on each track of all three Bat Out Of Hell albums. In recent years, Kasim has also been making his name as a producer, having produced the Meat Loaf album StoryTellers in 1999, and Rick Reynolds' album Unstoppable in 2005.

Kasim released his solo album, *Quid Pro Quo,* in 2002 to critical acclaim by both critics and fans alike, and in 2003, it won the Kweevak.com Viewers* Choice Award. Kasim*s double compilation CD called *All Sides* which includes new tracks, live tracks and personal favorites from his other solo albums was released in 2007.  His first ever solo DVD was released in December of 2008.

Kasim has appeared on well over 100 recordings.   A renowned session artist and musician, Kasim is recognized and respected throughout the music industry for his work with artists such as Todd Rundgren and Utopia, Meat Loaf, Celine Dion, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Joan Jett, Hall and Oates, Patti Smith, Patty Smyth and Mick Jagger; and this is only a handful of the artists and performers he has worked with in his extraordinary multi-faceted musical career.

DVD update AWATS info.

AWATS LIVE update... Todd just delivered the last bit of audio. Made a few last minute editorial tweaks. Last thing is the animated main titles, which I should be getting in the next day or so. If no comments from management, than render and deliver the 37 Gig Quicktime file to the DVD authoring company.

NYE show update

Excellent news for folks going to this gig! BB Kings can stay open until 1:45am that night! So, we don't have to go back to the hotel and have rent-a-cops yell at us until 1:46am . Post gig party in the venue! What other promoters make that happen ?

Update on Room statis for the NYE show

RundgrenRadio DougTODD RUNDGREN NYE CONCERT with PAT TRAVERS BAND

My deepest apologies but I have bad news and good news! Bad news is we will be moving from the current hotel. That's the good news too lol. Downtown is not the place to be for BB Kings. We were 99% sure at one point the gig was going to be somewhere else and something was telling us it didn't feel right so we rolled the dice and called BB Kings despite the fact this is not the normal kind of gig they do on a regular basis. We are thrilled about our good luck and any inconvenience of moving closer will be well worth it.

So, don't panic you will get a room. Working on a place with a shipload of rooms. You can cancel your Crowne room now if you like or wait if you want. We probably won't be moving to the other Crowne since there are better options. Unfortunately, we probably can't post anything until Monday but be assured getting a room at the group hotel will NOT be a problem whatsoever.

Wait for it ... wait ....

IT'S ALL GOOD !

New Years eve show in the works

OK, here we go. This is as much as we can tell you so please enjoy not having to wait until Tuesday for all of it .

As stated earlier, we are mostly holding back info because we do not have the info. This is an attempt to be nice and give you a head start in case you would like to attend.

And for the record, sorry to be so blunt but posting that you can't go or don't like the theme, etc does not help us. We're interested in info on who can go so we can be better prepared. We are sad about the people that can't go so don't take that the wrong way please....

1) RR will be hosting a Todd Rundgren gig on NYE. Setlist will be "guitar heavy"! There will be a support act, national act in fact.

2) We are speaking with 4 different venues right now. We plan to lock one in tomorrow hopefully. These are the top 2 cities and they are listed by priority. Orlando and Atlanta. SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Please do not book flights or anything - we could end up somewhere totally different but we hope not. Orlando is top priority and we hope we can work it out.

3) Standing and sitting will be available if we get any of the venues that are on our radar.

4) Like any NYE gig/party worth anything the ticket prices will be pricey. It's impossible to say at this point without the venue locked in but assume $125-$175 range. Could be better but assume it's not. Hotel rooms $150-$200 most likely if you want to stay at the group rate hotel. Hey, get off me it's NYE people !

5) Band will be Kasim, Jesse, Ferenzik, and Greg Bendian (Prairie has a Tubes gig that night).

6) It has been 17 years since Todd did a public NYE gig. 2008 was "semi-private" and limited to 225 peeps. Tickets for that show were $125 by the way and it sold out.
