Big Head Todd and the Monsters have been around for 30 years and now they are coming to Penn’s Peak for an 8 p.m. show on Nov. 14. Tickets are on sale now.

“In art, longevity isn’t the goal. It’s a happy accident if it happens, and I think ours was one of those convenient accidents that led to a happy marriage,” said co-founder Todd Park Mohr. “But we happen to get along really well and love being with each other and playing music for a living.”

The group has been together formally since 1987 and had a debut album, Another Mayberry, in 1989. It would be another four years before Sister Sweetly made them a national phenomenon.

The band’s desire to communicate and connect with the audience is very much reflected in their 11th studio album that explores a variety of subgenres, from the funky (“Trip”) to the unexpectedly punky (“Detonator”), with stops along the way for raging country-rock (“Damaged One”), expansive storytelling in the Van Morrison/early Springsteen mode (“Wipeout Turn”), a Jimi Hendrix cover (“Room Full of Mirrors”), and, in the title track, “New World Arisin’,” a Charley Patton-inspired tune that ended up having what Mohr describes as “a heavy metal/gospel feel.”

Mohr doesn’t feel these musical zigzags will give fans whiplash. “The fact is, most people, like myself, listen to multiple genres of music, so I don’t think people have a problem with variety. I love it.”

But if there’s a dominant musical motif to New World Arisin’, it’s “straight-up rock-pop,” said Mohr. That contemporary approach might come as a slight surprise to hardcore fans that saw the Monsters take a seriously rootsy turn or two in the last 10 years.

The band embarked on a side project, dubbed Big Head Blues Club, that saw them paying homage to Robert Johnson and bringing in venerable guest collaborators like Charlie Musselwhite and the late B.B. King. The heavy blues influence that dominated their alter-ego band carried over some into the last actual Big Head Todd and the Monsters album, 2014’s Black Beehive.

That element isn’t altogether missing in New World Arisin’. It recurs in “Long Coal Train,” but this time the blues take a definite back seat to the unapologetically mainstream instincts that had Big Head Todd going platinum in the mid-’90s with the album Sister Sweetly, which spawned the rock radio hits “Broken Hearted Savior,” “Bittersweet,” and “Circle.”

Big Head Todd is one multi-headed rock monster that easily traverses the most accessible hooks and the heaviest grooves. It’s not surprising that they would appeal to any audience or sub-audience that values durability over flavors of the moment.

Tickets are $27 in advance and $32 the day of the show. They can be purchased through all Ticketmaster outlets, the Penn’s Peak Box office and Roadies Restaurant and Bar. Penn’s Peak Box office and Roadies Restaurant ticket sales are walk-up only, no phone orders.
