Toshi Reagon with Chastity Brown
In some ways, singer Toshi Reagon is a throwback to classic R & B artists, like Stevie Wonder or Prince, or old school rock group like Led Zeppelin; she can take any style, update it, and make it her own with incredible ease. Despite (or because of) her genre-bending, Toshi fits comfortably on a stage at Carnegie Hall, or in a dirty rock club. Toshi is an artist who’s known for energetic performances and a exemplary gift for writing engaging songs that provoke listeners to think and have fun at the same time.
Toshi finds a kindred spirit with soulful opening act Chastity Brown. With her nose ring and her loose dreads sprouting every which way in a free-fro, Minneapolis singer-songwriter Chastity looks like an urban Rastafarian, a Marley-loving Bohemian. When she opens her mouth in song, however, she reveals a complex soul -- a country-born, gospel-raised, activist poet who sings about women, race, love and politics with an edgy tenderness.
