Raphael Saadiq is a model of quiet consistency. Whether as the frontman for Tony! Toni! Toné!, a solo artist, or a composer for Insecure, the multi-talent has spent over three decades making his mark on all things R&B-adjacent—including The R&B Club
Join us at Songbyrd in Union Market as we explore Saadiq's rich songwriting and production discography. In addition to Tony! Toni! Toné!, Lucy Pearl, and his own solo work, Saadiq's pen and production work extends to D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Solange, Teedra Moses, Anthony Hamilton, Kelis, Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston, and Earth, Wind & Fire, among others.
The R&B Club is a cultural group founded in 2018 by music aficionado Ashley-Dior Thomas, entrepreneur and writer Marcus K. Dowling, well-respected journalist Julian Kimble, and critically-acclaimed author and journalist Justin Tinsley to celebrate the legacy of soul music. In other words, think of it as a musical book club. Our current theme is "Diary of an R&B Songwriter and Producer," where we dissect and praise the often unsung heroes of the genre.
Join us on Sunday, October 9, from 12-2 PM at Songbyrd. Grab advance tickets for $15 and day of for $20! Tickets include a mimosa, coffee, or soda! Food is available for purchase. All ages are welcome!

His energy is quite infectious and his music is just as catchy but substantial. He’s released numerous projects and singles and continues to keep his audience on the edge of their seat with each release. His music is conversational and sounds like a friend having a fun chat with you about his trials and tribulations.
