Raphael Saadiq Reunites Tony! Toni! Toné!
After a quarter-century apart, Raphael Saadiq has reunited with his brother D'wayne Wiggins and Timothy Christian Riley to perform as Tony! Toni! Toné! The fall tour, titled "Raphael Saadiq Revisits Tony! Toni! Toné!: The Just Me & You Tour," launched in Birmingham in late September and is currently working its way through major U.S. markets.
The shows blend classic Tony! Toni! Toné! material—"Feels Good," "Anniversary," "It Never Rains"—with Saadiq's solo catalog, Lucy Pearl tracks, and songs he's written for artists like D'Angelo, Solange, and Beyoncé. Reviews from the Atlanta and Charlotte stops have been enthusiastic, with fans calling it a trip down memory lane.
The tour continues through November, wrapping with hometown shows at Oakland's Paramount Theatre on November 14 and San Francisco's Masonic on November 17. Tonight's stop: Boston's Orpheum Theatre.
