RAPHAEL SAADIQ

Saturday, December 5 at 9 p.m.

Genre: R&B
Age: 18+

He is a standard bearer for what folks call ‘old school’ music, a contemporary artist continuing a time-honored tradition that goes back to the ‘60s and ‘70s. From his early days as a member of the groundbreaking ‘80s group Tony! Toni! Toné through his work as an award-winning producer of such artists as Joss Stone, The Roots, Snoop Dogg, and John Legend among many others and his own solo albums, the multi-talented Raphael Saadiq has kept the faith.

“Every record I’ve ever made has had those influences…The Temptations, Al Green, The Four Tops and so on,” Raphael explains. “This album is the culmination of a lifetime of experiences informed by the music I grew up on.” Listening to his newest release, 3-time Grammy-nominated The Way I See It, it’s immediately obvious that it could have been recorded thirty years ago. Raphael Saadiq brings real emotion, real feeling and production values that are simply right on.
