Raphael Saadiq for Vicar St

The Grammy-nominated artist releases his fourth solo album The Way I See It in Ireland this Friday, February 27, and fans will have a chance to hear it live on April 29 when Saadiq pays a visit to Vicar Street.

Influenced by the likes of Sam Cooke and The Temptations, the California man has been performing from a young age, and first found fame as lead singer with R'n'B three-piece Tony! Toni! Toné.

He has also worked as a producer for The Roots, John Legend, Mary J. Blige and others.

Tickets for Saadiq's Vicar Street show – presented by Aiken Promotions – are €29, on sale this Friday at 9am.
