Nov. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Todd Rundgren fans know how to give back. The night before watching the legendary musician perform at the Akron Civic Theatre with his band, Todd Rundgren's Utopia, the promoters, RundgrenRadio.com, will host a birthday party for his wife Michele, and her gifts from the fans are going to be used to help others.

A former background singer for Todd, and a fan favorite, Michele turns 55 on 11/11/11. The unique part of the birthday party are the gifts. The fans attending the party are gathering funds to donate dozens of music apps to give to students and teachers at the Grammy Museum Education Department. Michele's company, DSVocology created the apps known as VocalizeU, a virtual vocal studio taking singers from beginning to full artistry. Hundreds of students will get to use the apps to be downloaded onto iPads at the school.

Michele has been working on the project for over a year, and VocalizeU is now in the Apple App store for iPad. A free lite version for the iPhone will come out this winter. VocalizeU is a marvel of modern technology; a virtual vocal studio that can replicate what the top music schools in the world can do by evaluating singers’ voices and giving them customized vocal workouts to address their individual vocal habits. This technique is based on the physiology of the voice and is used by many top recording artists and professional vocalists, who typically pay $150-400/hour to study this technique.

Michele told RundgrenRadio.com, "I am thrilled about this birthday gift.  I am always amazed by how much Todd fans want to give back to communities. They organize fund drives for Japan, food drives at shows, and now they will make sure that students have the same kind of access to music and voice lessons that celebrities do. Our fans ROCK!"

Rundgren Radio will present Todd Rundgren's Utopia in Akron, Ohio on November 12, 2011 at the Akron Civic Theatre.  Todd Rundgren's Utopia features Todd Rundgren, Kevin Ellman, Jesse Gress, John Siegler, Ralph Schuckett, and Kasim Sulton.  

The concert will be the band's only one in the Midwest as part of their 12 city tour -- the first tour for them in 35 years.  Tickets are available on Ticketmaster.com or the Akron Civic box office. The last time Todd Rundgren's Utopia performed at the Akron Civic Theatre was 37 years ago in 1974.
