Good news for Raphael Saadiq fans: The famed R&B singer-songwriter is going on tour and bringing his beloved Tony! Toni! Toné! along for the ride.
On Tuesday, June 20, Saadiq announced the Raphael Saadiq Revisits Tony! Toni! Toné!, The Just Me and You Tour. For the first time in 25 years, Saadiq will reunite with Tony! Toni! Toné! and give fans what they want to hear and see.
The tour kicks off in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 21 at the BJCC Concert Hall and continues through major markets nationwide including New York City, Chicago, Nashville, and Los Angeles. The tour will wrap up at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, California, Tony! Toni! Toné!’s hometown, on November 14, followed by The Masonic in San Francisco on November 17.
Produced by Live Nation Urban, the tour marks a momentous homecoming for Saadiq, his brother, D’Wayne Wiggins, and Timothy Christian Riley as they perform as Tony! Toni! Toné! for their R&B fans. The trio is set to perform a number of their smashes like “Feels Good,” “Anniversary,” and “It Never Rains (In Southern California),” plus brand-new material.
Saadiq will also dig further into his crates and perform tracks from his acclaimed solo albums, the singles from his short-lived but beloved R&B supergroup Lucy Pearl, and hits he wrote for artists like D’Angelo, Daniel Caesar, Brent Faiyaz, Solange, and Beyoncé.
“I’ve always wanted to put my family back together,” Saadiq said in a statement. “Playing with the Tonys again is a thank you to the fans, the Super Tonians, for supporting all my musical efforts.”
“Without those who were with us from Day One, where would I be? But the main reason is that my father, Charlie Wiggins, would’ve wanted it this way–to see me, D’Wayne, and Tim playing together again.”
