Raphael Saadiq is heading back on the road.
After sold-out shows at the Apollo Theater in New York City, Los Angeles’ historic United Theater on Broadway, and in his hometown of Oakland at the Fox Theater, Saadiq will be taking the stage with the No Bandwidth: One Man, One Night, Three Decades of Hits tour to several venues across the country.
In a statement, Saadiq shared his vision for the show and his excitement about performing a one-man show.
“I’ve always wanted to do a one-man show. I want to challenge myself,” Saadiq stated.
“My one-person show has three acts; I will be talking about my career, bringing a couple of instruments to express myself, singing my original music as well as covers of songs I wish I had written, and more. I want it to feel magical and like a Broadway show.”
This year, the Tony! Toni! Toné! co-founder also announced launch of the Raphael Saadiq Vinyl Club, where he allowed fans inside his immense music vault. Membership in the club offers exclusive quarterly releases of Saadiq’s classic LP.
“The very thing that got me started was vinyl. The vinyl club is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. This first vinyl is very important for me to release,”: he said at the time. I call it Lucy Pearl 2.0,” said Saadiq in a statement.
“When you join the club, you get merch, maybe a song, a download in the middle of the night. Maybe I’ll drop something directly to you, access to private shows. We’re gonna be adding things to it all the time. It’s going to be new music, I’m not just gonna hold stuff in the studio. I’m gonna put stuff that I have in the vault.”
