Raphael Saadiq & Tony Toni Tone Reunite For Texas Tour Dates
Today, multi-award-winning artist, songwriter, film & television composer, and producer Raphael Saadiq announced Raphael Saadiq Revisits Tony! Toni! Toné!, the Just Me & You Tour, which will grace stages across the U.S. this fall.
The "Tony's" as they are affectionately referred to, was one of the biggest bands and groups of the late 80s and early 90's. After spending decades apart, and many attempts to get back together, the group is finally reuniting and hitting the road.
The tour marks a momentous homecoming as Raphael Saadiq, his brother D'Wayne Wiggins, and Timothy Christian Riley will perform as Tony! Toni! Toné! for the first time in nearly 25 years.
The Tonys set will feature classic R&B smashes like "Feels Good," "Anniversary," and "It Never Rains (In Southern California)," plus brand-new material.
For this expansive, full-evening performance, Saadiq also taps his own deep catalog, performing tracks from his acclaimed solo albums, the music of his short-lived but beloved R&B supergroup Lucy Pearl, plus the 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," says Saadiq.
In a statement, Saadiq went on to add:
"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."
The Tour Will Make 2 Stops In Texas.
The long-awaited return of the Oakland, CA R&B legends launches in Texas with a stop at Music Hall at Fair Park in Dallas on Saturday, October 28, and Smart Financial Centre at Sugar Land in Sugar Land on Sunday, October 29, 2023.
