Okay yall, you got a few days and an entire YEAR to get ready for your chance to see and R&B legend that rarely goes out on tour.

Eight-time Grammy Award-winning superstar Anita Baker, The Songstress, has announced a special run of live dates for 2023.

The Songstress’ tour, produced by Live Nation, will bring her to 15 cities starting on February 11, 2023, at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL, and make stops across the U.S. in Atlanta, GA; Baltimore, MD; Houston, TX; and more before wrapping up in Oakland, CA, on December 23, 2023.

The tour celebrates Baker’s 40 years as a music icon in the industry since the release of her debut album, The Songstress, was released in 1983.

Baker, born in Toledo, OH, and raised in Detroit, MI, is one of the most popular singers of soulful ballads during the height of the quiet storm period in the 1980s. Starting her career in the late 1970s with the funk band Chapter 8, Baker released her first solo album, The Songstress, in 1983.
