Toshi Reagon’s expansive vision of sonic Americana inspires audiences with BIGLovely’s big-hearted, hold-nothing-back approach to rock, blues, R&B, country, folk, sacred, and funk.
Described by Vibe magazine as “one helluva rock’n’roller-coaster ride” and by Pop Matters as “a treasure waiting to be found,” Toshi Reagon is a one-woman celebration of all that’s dynamic, progressive and uplifting in American music.
Since first taking to the stage at age 17, this versatile singer-songwriter-guitarist has moved audiences of all. The New York Times described her blend as “…a love of mixing things up…[her] vocal style ranges from a dirty blues moan to a gospel shout to an ethereal croon.” Her live performances, in particular, aren’t just accessible; they’re irresistible. And Toshi Reagon loves her audiences. Leading her renowned band – BIGLovely, launched in 1996 – she instantly connects, inspires and empowers.
Featuring guest sets by Tariq al-Sabir, Morley, Josette Newsam-Marchak, and Shayna Small, from the cast of Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower.
