Raphael Saadiq has announced the expansion of his one-man show “No Bandwidth: One Man, One Night, Three Decades of Hits” to a 22-date tour kicking off this fall.
The musician previously staged a smaller iteration of the show earlier this year, performing nights in Los Angeles, New York City and Oakland. Now, he’s expanding the scope even further, beginning the run at Sacramento’s Channel 24 on September 7. Over the next month, he’ll make stops in Atlanta, Los Angeles and Chicago before rounding the bases in Nashville at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center on October 14.
“I’ve always wanted to do a one-man show,” says Saadiq in a statement. “I want to challenge myself. 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.”
Saadiq will also release the vinyl edition of his 2004 album “Ray Ray” for fans who signed up for the Raphael Saadiq Vinyl Club. Members of the club have access to the Vault, which offers unreleased photos, behind-the-scenes videos and more.
Earlier this year, Saadiq announced the first iteration of the “No Bandwidth” tour with Variety, revealing that he’s also working on a documentary about his career and the Tony! Toni! Toné! reunion tour that took place in 2023.
“It’s the span of my career and it’ll have the Tony’s last tour. I took the phones so nobody really saw the tour,” he told Variety. “We have so much footage. I collected all the footage already, everything’s in one place. And I’m directing it, we just putting everything together. We started editing last week for the first time.”
