On the heels of a sold-out tour earlier this year, world renown Bass Player Kasim Sulton will once again be celebrating his longtime association with the ground breaking progressive rock band Utopia and their legacy by performing a limited number of shows consisting entirely of Utopia music with a full band. The set list will be comprised of songs hand-picked by Sulton, spanning the 10 albums he appears on, including deep cuts as well as many more familiar songs.
Sulton joined Utopia in 1976 when the group settled into it’s most recognizable quartet of Todd Rundgren (guitar, vocals), Kasim Sulton (bass, vocals), Roger Powell (keyboards, vocals), and Willie Wilcox (drums, vocals). All four band members wrote, sang, produced, and engineered the material on their critically acclaimed albums. Sulton wrote and sang lead on Utopia‘s biggest hit, “Set Me Free,” from their best-selling album Adventures in Utopia (1980), which reached #27 on the Billboard Top 40 charts.
“My career began with Utopia,” says Sulton. “I can’t think of a better way to honor my work with Todd, Roger, and Willie than to do a string of performances that showcase the special and unique music we created together.”
