Raphael Saadiq is hitting the road.
Following back-to-back sold-out nights at the legendary Apollo Theater in New York City, Los Angeles’ historic United Theater on Broadway, and two homecoming nights at Oakland’s Fox Theater, the 59-year-old is bringing the No Bandwidth: One Man, One Night, Three Decades of Hits tour to various cities across the United States this fall.
“I’ve always wanted to do a one-man show. I want to challenge myself,” shared the Oakland native.
“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.”
Earlier this year, the Tony, Toni, Toné co-founder announced the launch of the Raphael Saadiq Vinyl Club, with his legendary vault opened to fans for the first time. Membership offers exclusive quarterly releases of Saadiq’s most celebrated albums. This month’s selection is Ray Ray – his 2004 self-released vintage-soul masterpiece, with the bonus track titled “BUCKOWEN.”
“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. 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.”
Pre-sale tickets for the No Bandwidth: One Man, One Night, Three Decades of Hits show begin on Wednesday, July 9th at 10 a.m. local time, with an additional local presale on the following date. A Spotify presale also launches on Thursday at noon local time.
