Oscar-Nominated & Grammy-Winning Raphael Saadiq (formerly of A Tribe Called Quest, Tony! Toni! Toné! and The Ummah) is one of hottest song writer/producer for other R&B artists (John Legend, Chromeo, Justin Timberlake to name a few). This summer, Saadig will be doing a headlining tour, and he’s bringing his former Tribe bandmate Ali Shaheed Muhammad to First Avenue this Friday, July 20th. This should be a fun reunion for Tribe fans… especially for any Prince fan in Minneapolis. You may remember that Saadig was part of Sheila E.’s backing band and they went on tour with the Purple One. This should be a very memorable night.

7/20 Minneapolis, MN – First Avenue ++

7/21 Chicago, IL – Pitchfork Festival

7/24 Philadelphia, PA – Union Transfer ++
