Raphael Saadiq And Tony! Toni! Toné! Sells Out Charlotte

Raphael Saadiq and Tony! Toni! Toné! brought a sold-out show to Charlotte, NC on September 22, and it was a night to remember. From the very beginning, it felt like a journey into rhythm and blues where live instrumentation and soul-wrenching singing evoked the feeling of the ancestors.

The show was divided into four acts, and fans got their money's worth from start to finish. Act one ignited the experience in the packed house when "Little Walter" played, paying homage to a movement of the people and sounds of The Chambers Brother’s “Wade in the Water” which was introduced to Raphael by Sly and the Family Stone.

Act two was all about love, with the crowd singing along to "Whatever You Want" while slow-dancing in the aisles. Storytelling interludes added depth to the performance, and Saadiq took a moment to reflect on their 25-year time away from the stage as a collective.

Act three saw Raphael Saadiq performing some of his greatest solo hits, including tracks from Lucy Pearl, and closing with the title song of the tour, "Just Me and You," evoking another moment of romance from the crowd.

Tony! Toni! Toné! started act four with "Anniversary," leaving the audience begging for more. Of course, they couldn't resist giving the fans what they wanted, ending the night on a high note with "Feels Good." The night was a rousing and heavenly experience.
