R&B supergroup Lucy Pearl will embark on a short club tour to coincide with the release of its self-titled debut on May 23.
The trio comprises Raphael Saadiq of Tony! Toni! Tone!, Dawn Robinson of En Vogue, and Ali Shaheed Muhammed of A Tribe Called Quest.
The tour kicks off May 21 with two dates at S.O.B.’s in New York City and it’s expected to swing through five more eastern stops before coming to a close June 1 in Atlanta.
The performances will showcase original Lucy Pearl material, as well as songs from each individual member’s previous groups.
Robinson and Saadiq share singing duties for the outfit, which blends R&B, hop-hop and acid jazz.
Snoop Dogg and Muhammed’s former band mate Q-Tip contribute raps for the upcoming album.
